    cathodic protection calculation

    Thanks for the info. The cathodic protection is to be designed for a period between dry docking of 6 years. This typically has been 3 - 5 years in the past There will be a paint scheme in place and the Cathodic system is additional probably to take into account paint lost in service. The method...

    cathodic protection calculation

    I am calculating the number of zinc anodes required for a sea chest on a vessel. The problem I am having is the current density value. Looking through old literature states that a value of 10 - 15 mA/m^2 is acceptable for current density for new build ships. However, I was told to use 30 - 50...

    AC Motor Sizing Calculation

    The power is indeed in kW but I converted to HP as asked. I am based in the UK so applying european standards. I understand why replies have given various sizes but I need to know the method of selection, formulae and factors to be considered, a sort of step by step procedure. This is only one...

    AC Motor Sizing Calculation

    The required duty cycle(this is the requirement at the pump)is as follows: 2.9HP for 32% of the cycle time 9.1HP for 18% 2.5HP for 32% 8.7HP for 18% The speed is around 1500rpm The voltage is typically 400V

    AC Motor Sizing Calculation

    I am trying to calculate the motor size for a variable duty cycle. I have four different sections within the cycle, each with their own required power. I want to use a squirrel cage induction motor and hence overload it during the short peak cycles. I was wondering, after taking the RMS power...
