Electricity and Motors

In 1840 a hydrauHc power network, which involved large reciprocating pumps that were driven by steam engines, suppHed fluid power to London. However, concurrent technology in steam (qv) turbines and the electric generators outmoded such networks until hydrauHc systems were improved with the use of rotary pumps and oil. The rotary piston pump marked the transition from use of water to oil as the hydrauHc fluid (4). The use of vacuum-distilled, refined mineral oils were instmmental in the success of rotary axial piston pumps and motors such as the Waterbury variable speed gear... 

Inhibited grades of 1,1,1-trichloroethane are used in hundreds of different industrial cleaning appHcations. 1,1,1-Trichloroethane is preferred over trichloroethylene or tetrachloroethylene because of its lower toxicity. Additional advantages of 1,1,1-trichloroethane include optimum solvency, good evaporation rate, and no fire or flash point as determined by standard test methods. Common uses include cleaning of electrical equipment, motors, electronic components and instmments, missile hardware, paint masks, photographic film, printed ckcuit boards, and various metal and certain plastic components during manufacture (see Metal surface treatments). 

The by-product power takes only 40% as much energy to produce as on-purpose firing for power only. A comparison of Figure 5b and 5d illustrates this point. By-product power also takes much less equipment, as can be seen in Figure 6. By-product power also avoids the losses and capital associated with use of electricity such as power lines, transformers, and motors. As a result, by-product power is much cheaper than power purchased as electricity. 

For most plants, 01001 110 distribution systems start at the power company s service point on the plant s property. The choice of an electrical system will depend on many fartors relating to the particular projecl . A wide range of items, from switchgear, transformers, and motor control centers to cabling, earthing, and lighting, are required. Normally, competitive quotations would be obtained to take an estimate beyond the study stage. 

Typical pilot-plant top-suspended baskets are 305 mm (12 in) diameter by 127 mm (5 in) deep. Commercial machines are available in sizes from 508-mm (20-in) diameter by 305-mm (l2-in) depth to 1524-mm (60-in) diameter by 1016-mm (40-in) depth and develop up to 1800g in the smaller and intermediate sizes. Except in the sugar apphcation, operation with a two-speed motor (half speed for loading and full speed for purging) is typical. Hydraulic drives with variable-speed capability are commonly used in the chemical industiy To maximize the number of cycles per hour, a combination of electrical and mechanical braking is employed to minimize the deceleration period, which is a transition period of no value to the process.

The fixing dimensions of the motors are standardized at national and international levels. However, the output -frame relationship is not yet established for duty type rated motors. The Indian Electrical and Electronics... 

The purpose of testing an electrical motor is to ensure its compliance with the norms of design, material inputs and manufacturing accuracy. It determines the mechanical soundness and electrical fitness of the machine for its electrical and mechanical performance. Such tests determine the following ... 

For 3,600-rpm compressor drives below 5,000 hp, simplicity of installation almost dictates using the two-pole induction motor. No gear e. required, and the overall electrical and mechanical installation is the simplest possible. 

Synthetic resins are extensively used, e.g., in surface finishes, in the fabrication and repair of boat and motor vehicle bodies, in the manufacture of laminated boards, for electrical components, in pattern making and in paints and varnishes. Non-rubber adhesives made from fish glues and from cotton derivatives (e.g. cellulose acetate) tend not to be sensitizing but, depending upon composition and the manner of use, many other types may pose significant dermatitic and fume hazards. 

All electrical protective equipment (e.g., circuit breakers, fuses, bus bars, and motor starters) is rated for maximum short circuit currents by NEMA standards. Proper selection of equipment must be based on available short circuit currents. 

The aforementioned reviews and assessments were assimilated to characterize the effect of dielectric, rotational, and mechanical hazards on motor performance and operational readiness. Functional indicators were identified that can be monitored to assess motor component deterioration caused by aging or other accidental stressors. The study also includes a preliminary discussion of current standards and guides, maintenance programs, and research activities pertaining to nuclear power plant safety-related electric motors. Included are motor manufacturer recommendations, responses from repair facilities to a questionnaire, in-service inspection data, expert knowledge, USNRC-IE audit reports, and standards and guides published by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
