    Reactor Capability

    Hello, I'm trying to figure out if a reactor - for which I have not been given the ratings - can handle a specific level of current during intermittent duty. The reactor is wound (in air) with 9 AWG solid coppper wire with an air core. I see that the max. amp rating for 9 AWG copper wire in...

    4 Wire Wye Connection

    I am not an Electrician wiring these connections for everyday use. The units are beings tested in a lab in which they are supplied with power well above the rated values to induce a failure. I was just looking for a way to ease the effect of the failure.

    4 Wire Wye Connection

    I am currently working with a 3 wire Y connection and am debating adding a wire to ground the neutral point. I am doing failure analysis that can result in "explosions" due to arcing from welded contacts. My understanding is that the 4th line would act as a safety for when the phases become...

    Phase Failure Test

    Thank you for the reply Skogsgurra. This is a delta connection, therefore there is no neutral point.

    Phase Failure Test

    Hello, I'm looking for a way to catch phase failures from the connections welding shut. My initial thought was to test all three phases for current after the connections were opened. If I still had current flow in any phase, then I would know if there was a weld. I was told that this would...

    Tensile Strength and Ductility in Manufacturing Rivets

    I'm sorry I was not specific when asking the question. The rivet would not be used to hold anything together, it would be used as an electrical contact.

    Tensile Strength and Ductility in Manufacturing Rivets

    What is the importance of tensile strength in the material used to manufacture rivets? What is the importance of ductility in the material used to manufacturing Rivets? Thank you in advance for any potential help.
