I have always thought that the Code (CEC and/or NEC) inhibited the snipping off of some strands of conductors - say for example - to make a larger conductor fit into a smaller lug. I thought that the correct way to do it would be to crimp on a reducer (for example if you use #10 or #8 for...
I am hoping that someone (perhaps on the IEEE 37 committee?) can chek out my assumtions:
Referring to IEEE 37.20.1 defnitions:
I see MOC (mechanism operated contact) as the auxillary contacts, directly operated by the breaker mechanism itself BUT mounted on the STATIONARY housing (ie. not on...
Thanks for responding. The word is pallet for sure. Here is an exerpt from a 1922 text:
"For this reason it is necessary that the tripping circuits be opened by an auxiliary pallet switch or contacts fastened to the circuit breaker in such a manner that the opening of the breaker...
I am trying to find out where the term Pallet Relay comes from. I see it on several older drawings from one of the Utilities here in Canada.
It appears to be the smae as a multiplying relay, but I'd like to be sure.
Hi, and thanks for the info. This issue is definitely the charge air cooler (not engine cooling). The supplier has now confirmed that 10 or so feet would be OK. I expect that remoting the rad to the roof (we have a limited building footprint) might end up in 15' to 20' there and back.
We are spec'ing three 1000 kVA 600V diesel gensets, one of the manufacturers siad that remoting the radiator might cause prblems with the turbocharger due to cooling lag time. Any experience out there?
