Approximately 50% of the demand for tetrachloroethylene is in the dry-cleaning industry where about 80% of all dry cleaners use it as their primary cleaning agent. Use as a feedstock for chlorofluorocarbon production accounts for 30% of current demand. Metal cleaning and miscellaneous appHcations represent 12 and 8% of demand, respectively. The miscellaneous appHcations include such varied uses as transformer insulating fluid, chemical maskant formulations, and as a process solvent for desulfurizing coal. 

The instmments discussed above (and many of the others which follow) act in response to the system voltage and/or current. In most cases, the values of these two parameters are very high, which presents problems in the design of the insulation and current-carrying capabilities of the instmment. In these instances, the instmment is supplied with a known fraction of the measured quantity using a voltage transformer or a current transformer, as appropriate. 

The motor shaft is usually held in place by two insulated slide bearings equipped with ring lubrication. In addition, the bearings are cooled for example by an oil-water cooling system. The terminal box of the motor should be so dimensioned as to accommodate the current transformers for differential protection of the motor. To prevent the formation of condensation in the motor during standstill, a space heater is installed. 

The real world test parameters discussed above have been incorporated into the fire hazard assessment model used by UL (Webber 1983) to determine the compliance of transformer fluids with section 450.23 of the National Electrical Code. In order to be compliant with the code, transformers insulated with less-flammable liquids are permitted to be installed without a vault in Type I and Type II buildings of approved noncombustible materials in areas in which no combustible materials are stored, provided there is a liquid confinement area, the liquid has a fire point of not less than 300 C and the installation complies with all restrictions provided for in the listing of the liquid. UL has identified the need for pressure relief devices and current limiting fusing to limit the effect of possible high current arcing faults. 

There must also be a range of instruments including insulation testers, multimeters, potential indicators, loop impedance testers, RCD testers, current transformers, wattmeters and perhaps relay testing equipment. Expensive instruments, such as oscilloscopes, which may be only occasionally required and which may require expert handling are probably not worth buying, but can be hired when needed or can be provided by a specialist called in to deal with a problem that cannot be tackled in-house.

Power Supplie.s Iligh-voltage ac and dc power supplies for electrostatic separators are iisiiallv of solid-state construction and feature variable outputs ranging from 0 to 30,()()() for ac wiper transformers to 0 to 60,000 for the dc supply The maximum current requirement is approximately 1,0 to 1,5 rnA/rn of electrode length. Powder supplies for industrial separators are typically oil-insulated, but smaller diw-epoxv-insulated supplies are also available. 

Bus bars of a transformer substation must not be directly grounded. They must be connected with rails by at least two insulated cables. Metal sheathing of feeder and return current cables must only then be connected with the rails or bus bar if an increase in anodic corrosion on other buried installations is absolutely excluded. The insulation of all return cables must therefore be monitored regularly. 

The inverters are either voltage source or current source (see Figure 7-7a and b). There are other variations, but they apply to drivers smaller than the ones used with compressors. However, pulse-width-modulated (PWM) (see Figure 7-7c), transistorized units are less complicated and are relatively maintenance-free with reliable units available to at least 500 hp. For all but the smaller compressors, the current source inverter is the one typically used. With a six-step voltage source, a rule of thumb has been to size the motor at two-thirds of its rating so as not to exceed the insulation temperature rise. For current source motors, the output torque is not constant with decreased speed, which fortunately is compatible with most compressors, as torque tends to follow speed. For current source drives, one needs to upsize the motor captive transformer by approximately 15% to account for harmonic heating effects. 

Although development work on shellac in blends with other synthetic resins has been carried out over a period of time, the only current use in the plastics industry is in the manufacture of electrical insulators. At one time electrical insulators and like equipment were fabricated from mica but with increase in both the size and quantity of such equipment shellac was introduced as a binder for mica flake. For commutator work the amount of shellac used is only 3-5% of the mica but in hot moulding Micanite for V-rings, transformer rings etc., more than 10% may be used. The structures after assembly are pressed and cured, typically for two hours at 150-160°C under pressure.

The water insoluble, highly chemically and thermally stable PCBs used as insulating fluids for transformers and capacitors, in paints, copy paper, etc., are extremely toxic, persistent in the environment and bioaccumulating. PCBs are currently destroyed by incineration of concentrates at high temperatures or chemically with sodium metals or organosodium. Both processes are costly. The cathodic reduction/elimination of the chlorine from polychlorinated biphenyl... 

The submitters used a pint hydrogenation bottle wound with 30 ft. of No. 24 Nichrome wire insulated with asbestos paper. Before the reaction the current was adjusted by means of a variable transformer so that the solution was maintained at approximately 70° during the reaction. The checkers used a 500-ml. centrifuge bottle without provision for heating. 

IV. Stray Electric Current. This includes current flowing from a source such as a battery, a generator or a transformer, thru power lines to electrical equipment, which returns to that source over whatever paths are available to it. These paths include additional conductors insulated from ground (such as electric cables), conductors not insulated from ground for electric haulage (such as rails) and the earth itself. If the supply or return conductor betw the source and the load should be interrupted, as by the...
