SEISMIC BEHAVIOUR OF PRESTRESSED AND NORMAL

Normal humidity of the distribution box

Normal humidity of the distribution box

Low humidity levels can lead to static electricity, potentially damaging sensitive electronics. The IEC 62271-1 standard "Common specifications for high-voltage switchgear and controlgear" defines the normal service conditions for the installation and use of such equipment. The ambient air temperature does not exceed 40 °C and its average value, measured over a period of 24 h, does not exceed. Waterproof distribution box moisture typically originates from condensation, gasket degradation, or cable entry leakage. For the insulation performance of electrical equipment, two factors are humidity and temperature. The specific standards and recommendations for each environment are as follows: 1.

Multi-bridge seismic bracing

Multi-bridge seismic bracing

Buckling restrained braces (BRB) are special braces capable to yield in axial tension and compression. They allow to achieve large plastic displacements, produce stable hysteretic behavior, and dissipate large amounts of seismic energy – capabilities that are valuable in seismic. One such application is in ductile end diaphragms, a design concept that aims to protect bridge substructures and limit displacement demands by the use. The proposed bracing system provides a novel solution for controlling peak seismic responses and for eliminating residual deformation for conventional concentrically braced frames.

How wide should the cable tray be to require seismic bracing

How wide should the cable tray be to require seismic bracing

Application: Electrical conduits with an inner diameter of ≥60 mm; cable ladders with a gravity load of ≥150 N/m (industry standard for strong current cable trays width ≥ 200, weak current cable trays width ≥ 300), cable trays, bus ducts. In practical terms, the cable tray design team needs the project-specific seismic criteria, not just a vague statement that the building is in a seismic area. According to the " GB50981-2014 Code for Seismic Design of Building Mechanical and Electrical Engineering", seismic bracing for piping and cable trays in power systems is required if one of the following two conditions is met: The inner diameter of the electrical conduit is greater than or equal to. First, lateral braces, also called transverse braces, are installed across or perpendicular to the system. One of the primary considerations in seismic design is the structural integrity of the cable tray. The tray should be able to resist the lateral and vertical forces imposed by the earthquake without collapsing or failing. Seismic bracing, typically made of high-strength metal, is key component specifically designed to enhance the stability and safety of cable tray systems during earthquakes.

How much light attenuation is normal for an optical power meter

How much light attenuation is normal for an optical power meter

Typical power levels measured by an optical power meter: Telecom transmitters: 0 to +10 dBm (1 to 10 milliwatts), Receivers: -30 dBm (1 microwatt) DWDM systems with fiber amplifiers: +10 to +20 dBm (10 to 100 milliwatts), Receivers: -20 to -30 dBm (1-10 microwatt). Typical Measurement Values in Fiber Optics Here are some typical measurements in fiber optics of optical power and loss. You may want to come back to this section as you read the explanations of dB and dBm below. This falls into visible wavelength (from 400nm to 700nm) and near infrared wavelength (from 700nm to 1700nm) in the electromagnetic spectrum shown in Figure 3. Attenuation in fiber optics is the gradual loss of light signal strength as it travels through a fiber cable. When a fiber attenuates (also known as background loss), less power will be seen at the output than the input. The relationship is: 1mw=0dbm, that is to say, 2mw=3dbm, 10*lgmw is the dbm value.
