1.3.10. Permissible long-term currents for wires with rubber or polyvinyl chloride insulation, cords with rubber insulation and cables with rubber or plastic insulation in lead, polyvinyl chloride and rubber sheaths are given in Table. 1.3.4 - 1.3.11. They are accepted for temperatures: cores +65, ambient air +25 and ground +15 º C.

When determining the number of wires laid in one pipe (or cores of a stranded conductor), the neutral working conductor of a four-wire three-phase current system, as well as grounding and neutral protective conductors are not taken into account.

The data contained in the table. 1.3.4 and 1.3.5 should be applied regardless of the number of pipes and the location of their installation (in the air, floors, foundations).

Permissible long-term currents for wires and cables laid in boxes, as well as in trays in bundles, must be accepted: for wires - according to table. 1.3.4 and 1.3.5, as for wires laid in pipes, for cables - according to table. 1.3.6 - 1.3.8, as for cables laid in the air. If the number of simultaneously loaded wires is more than four, laid in pipes, boxes, and also in trays in bundles, the currents for the wires should be taken according to the table. 1.3.4 and 1.3.5, as for wires laid openly (in the air), with the introduction of reduction factors of 0 for 68 and 5; 6 for 0 - 63 and 7 for 9 - 0 wires.

For wires of secondary circuits, reduction factors are not introduced.

1.3.11. Permissible long-term currents for wires laid in trays for single-row installation (not in bundles) should be taken as for wires laid in the air.

Permissible long-term currents for wires and cables laid in boxes should be taken according to table. 1.3.4 - 1.3.7, as for single wires and cables laid openly (in the air), using the reduction factors indicated in table. 1.3.12.

When choosing reduction factors, control and reserve wires and cables are not taken into account.

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Primium Seneca keyboard 05.05.2024

Keyboards are an integral part of our daily computer work. However, one of the main problems that users face is noise, especially in the case of premium models. But with the new Seneca keyboard from Norbauer & Co, that may change. Seneca is not just a keyboard, it is the result of five years of development work to create the ideal device. Every aspect of this keyboard, from acoustic properties to mechanical characteristics, has been carefully considered and balanced. One of the key features of Seneca is its silent stabilizers, which solve the noise problem common to many keyboards. In addition, the keyboard supports various key widths, making it convenient for any user. Although Seneca is not yet available for purchase, it is scheduled for release in late summer. Norbauer & Co's Seneca represents new standards in keyboard design. Her ... >>

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

Movement speed record using magnetic levitation 26.04.2016

The Shanghai Maglev, the world's first commercial maglev railway line, holds the maglev continuous speed record of 431 km/h. (The one-time record for passenger trains was set in Japan last year at 603 km/h.) But the absolute record belongs to the 846 US Air Force test squadron at the Holloman Air Force Base near the city of Alamogordo (New Mexico), which is engaged in "horizontal flights" - launching special rocket sleds along various high-speed tracks.

The most famous is the 6m Holloman High Speed ​​Test Track, which set the world rocket sled speed record of Mach 212 or 2003 m/s in 8,6. And on another track, 2 meters long, equipped with superconducting magnets, the 885 Test Squadron just set a new world record for a magnetic levitation sled - 640 km/h. Moreover, this is the second record in a row - a week earlier, testers dispersed a magnetic sled weighing 846 kg to a speed of 1018 km / h. The previous record, 907 km/h, set at the same test site, lasted more than two years.

It took military engineers six months to prepare the current record races. To ensure superconductivity, the magnets were cooled with liquid nitrogen to plus four degrees Kelvin. Despite the impressive speed, the engineers of the test squadron believe that this is not the limit. Their goal is to achieve hypersonic speeds of Mach 10 or 12 km/h, and designers are already working on using lighter materials in the sled for the next record.
