    Are Conductors / Overcurrent Protection Devices sized to the nominal conditions or high conditions?

    waross : > Would you care to share some of that literature? One section I had in mind was NEC 210.19(A)(1) but I may have misinterpreted it. It reads : "Branch-circuit conductors shall have an ampacity not less than the maximum load to be served." The equipment I am looking at is a...

    Are Conductors / Overcurrent Protection Devices sized to the nominal conditions or high conditions?

    Much of the literature I have seen regarding current and overcurrent protection device sizing has stated to be based off maximum current draw but then the examples appear to be based off a nominal voltage. To clarify, here is an example, Design Conditions Voltage : 480 VAC +/- 5% Duty : 100 kW...

    Thermocouple Measuring Busbar Temperature

    Apologies as this may be a stupid question : I want to use a thermocouple to measure the temperature of a piece of busbar. My concern is the busbar will be charged with 120 V. Attaching a K type thermocouple directly to the busbar would cause problems for the temperature reading, no? Thank...

    ASME Section VIII Div 2 - Fatigue Screening

    TGS4, I'm new to fatigue analysis of pressure vessels so please excuse my ignorance. What section of the code are you performing with hand calcs for fatigue analysis? Are you referring to ASME Sect VIII Div 2 - Part 4, Part 5.5, or else where?

    Fatigue Analysis in Compress

    As I understand it, Compress can perform fatigue analysis for the nozzle components. Does Compress has any further fatigue analysis capabilities for other components such as the shell, tubesheet, or flanges?

    ASME Section VIII Div 2 - Fatigue Screening

    Hello, I normally work with ASME Section VIII Div 1 but was asked to perform the ASME Section VIII Division 2 -Fatigue Screening (5.5.2.3) on a pressure vessel and I'm trying to sure up my understanding of the screening. Hopefully someone on here has some experience and wouldn't mind sharing...
