What is the Utilisation cat for NS MCCB and ICS and ICU percentage ?

IEC 60947 define ICS as the "rated service short-circuit breaking capacity" while ICU as the "rated ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity". The Ics is a percentage of Icu. For...

Are there any standards for sizing the neutral/PE bars?

The earthing schemes and sizing differ according to the earthing scheme (TT,TN-C,TN-S,IT...etc). According to the required earthing scheme, you should size your earthing and neutral conductors. IEC...

What is the definition of ANSI 27R - Remanent undervoltage?

Protection used to check that remanent voltage sustained by rotating machines has been cleared before allowing the busbar supplying the machines to be re-energized, to avoid electrical and mechanical...

Why a 4-20 mA is preferred to 0-10V in analog signals?

The bottom span 4 mA expresses a minimum signal value than a broken wire. Since the loop current never falls to zero, it can be loop powered, allowing for a two-wire circuit. 20 mA is considered an...
