Are the compressive forces acting on a 3 phase bus brace always less than the tensile forces? I say yes, but I am having a hard time to explain this to someone. Am I missing anything? This is my explanation – sum of current in three phases should be zero at any point of time. So, higher currents...
Is it possible to prototype a part that will resemble a part made of sheet molded compound. The tensile strength needs to be 14 KSI and compressive strength is 30KSI.
I am not familiar with plastics. So please advice.
Thanks
I am trying to design a bus brace for a 3 phase busbar syatem. I was able to calculate the forces acting on the brace from the information I found on this forum. I am trying to apply this load on to the brace and do some analysis using pro/mechanica.I am having difficulty understanding the...
