    Electrical Rack a couple meters from the Benzene Line

    We started a project with an idea to install explosion-proof electrical rack, for small power distribution (with min.C.B.'s or fuses) close to the existing benzene line ( distance, d=15 feet - from flanges)and new benzene line (distance, d1=21 feet from flanges and control valves). Now customer...

    SHORT CIRCUITS CALCULATION SOFTWARE

    The price of the Short Circuits Calculation Softwares depends from many reasons, first of all from the number of the buses ( 100.000 buses can not be the same as 100 buses). THAT is what I need a small software for SHORT CIRCUITS ANALYSIS for 100- 200 buses. How I can find this software ??? Thanks.
