Cables Racks

The secondary cable runs on its own cable rack to a switchboard. Both cable routes are short enough to neglect volt-drop considerations. Find suitable Cu/XLPE/PVC/SWA/PVC cable conductor sizes. 

The presence of high frequency harmonics in the power supply lines leaving the switchgear can cause mutual coupling to electronic and telecommunication cables if they are routed in close proximity to the power cables. This can occur especially if the cable racks run parallel to each other over an appreciable distance. As a rule-of-thumb guide, derived from Table 13.1, the spacing d) between power and electronic cables should be at least,... 

Cable racks fall into three overall categories ladders, open trays and closed trays. Their influence on fire performance is considerable and can be measured in a version of the 3 m cube room smoke test under lEC 61034. Unexpectedly, a closed tray does not afford complete fire protection since a chinmey effect can cause rapid fire propagation along the length of the sample. 

EPCM contractor or by the construction contractor according to the strategy retained. The situation is similar for electric cables, fittings, cable racks and trays. In the specific case of a construction contractor designing and building a complete self-contained facility, it will probably procure the complete range of materiel necessary. 

Acetal resins are also used extensively in transportation, especially automotive. Handles and internal components (gears, gear racks, cables) for window lifts and other similar devices are examples. Most of the appHcations which do not involve painting or plating are below the window line. Many common consumer items are manufactured essentially entirely from acetal resin (eg, disposable lighters) or have critical components molded from acetal resin (eg, hubs and platforms for videocassettes). The properties that make acetal resins useful in industrial appHcations make them useful for internal components, especially mechanical drive systems, of many household appHances.

Ancillaries Pipe racks and cable trays that are in place adjacent to the existing building will require special attention. Penetrations in the new wall are necessary for power cables and instrument lines, These openings should not adversely affect the pressure rating of the building.

Main banks of aboveground instrument runs in cable trays (such as those coming from the control room and supported on process unit pipe racks) that are located inside process unit battery limits should be considered for fireproofing by one of the following passive methods ... 

Large numbers of wood pallets can present a serious fire threat if stacked outdoors, too close to processing structures and areas, cable trays, pipe racks, tanks, power lines, buildings, and warehouses. Some commonly used separation distances are shown in Table 8-15.

Cables provide a highly reliable and compact method of transmitting power from its sonrce to its consnmer. Cables are installed in open air on racks or ladders, in the ground, or underwater as in the case of submarine cables. Power at all the voltages normally encountered in the oil industry i.e., less than 100 V and up to 33 kV, can be transmitted efficiently by single and multi-core cables.
