Seismic effects on enclosures

Seismic effects on enclosures   In areas where seismic activity is possible, enclosures have to withstand more influences and material-stress than in zones with no or a minimum seismic risk. During an earthquake, sensitive electric/electronic equipment can be subjected to motions that can over-stress equipment framework, whereas the amount of motions and resulting stress...

Residual-current device RCD

A residual-current device (RCD), or residual-current circuit breaker (RCCB) or residual twin-direct current couplet (R2D2), is an electrical wiring device that disconnects a circuit whenever it detects that the electric current is not balanced between the energized conductor and the return neutral...

Sizing of protective earthing conductor

Below is based on IEC 60364-5-54. This table provides two methods of determining the appropriate c.s.a. for both PE or PEN conductors.     c.s.a. of phase conductors Sph (mm2) Minimum c.s.a. of PE conductor (mm2) Minimum c.s.a. of ...

Busbars And Their Uses

Used in electrical power distribution, busbars are usually made out of aluminium or copper and they are able to conduct electricity to transmit power from the source of electric power to the load. They are usually supported by insulators and conduct electricity within switchboards, substations or other electric apparatus. Some typical applications of these devices can be to form the interconnectedness...

Enclosure Design for EMC

Most equipment manufactures choose to design custom housings for their electronics products in order to differentiate them in the market place. Usually enclosure design is driven by the two beasts of beauty and cost, with EMC requirements an irritating afterthought. The ideal enclosure from an EMC point of view is the perfect Faraday cage. Take the PCBs that make up a typical product,...
