Does the nuclear industry (especially in Japan) use robots for inspections in high radiation areas or to move radioactive material around? I, for some reason assumed that robotics could be involved to limit human interaction with radioactive material. Could they send something in to get a...
Google Elantis or Von Roll. They make complete lines of resins for all transformer/motor applications. They also have application notes regarding the general use of their products.
I have seen ceramics used in this application for both dielectric properties and heatsinking capability. If the ceramic substrate is metallized with copper/nickel on both sides it can be soldered to eliminate the epoxy problem. I don't have any exact details but I believe this method is...
Thanks for your prompt replies!
The product of interest is for a 600V class, 100-300 kVA 3-phase inductor family.
I don't think we will be using any plugs, but that reminds me that all components within our assembly should be UL listed
@ jraef
Does all testing typically take place at a UL...
My employer is interested in finding out how to get a component listed as UL & CSA 508 compliant. We are not familiar in any capacity with the requirements or process to achieve this type certification. We have some opportunities in the motor drive market but don't know what kind of issues...
I completely agree the regulator might not have much life in it.
If it only requires man-power and some resistors/wiring to be in working order we might have them in our stock room from vintage products (our company makes transformers as well as power supplies dating back to the 30's). I'm...
My main concern is that we will damage the regulator while replacing wires and resistive elements. The insulation is all cracked and some of the wires are even fraying. I don't even want to touch the reed switches.
It sounds like it would be wise to clean everything up and stick with the...
One of our guys found a 5 kva 480V/60Hz to 115V/400Hz generator in a loft and decided to energize it after at least 15 years. To our amazement it fired up and supplied voltage on the output. The motor is a Delco model B-612A, 7.5HP. The generator is a Bogue Electric Mfg. Co. Model 2082...
Here is a clip from the email I received this week.
Hope it helps.

We have had problems at our facility with thermocouples having bad readings in a high magnetic field. It was assumed that the magnetic field was inducing voltage into the sensor that swamped out the low level signal generated by the element. The sensor was placed next to the core gap of a...
