    GRE Piping Conductivity Testing at Site

    Hi, I try to measure a GRE pipe with my multi meter. I am expected to get some mega ohm reading. But i getting totally open connection. (insulated) that is require for GRE pipe to be conductive in hazardous zone. Vendor also claim their pipe is conductive type. But dont get the physical ohm...

    3 phase 440V AC 60Hz (IT) to 2 phase 220V AC distribution design

    Hi Guys, I have 3 phase 440V AC 60 Hz as incoming. is LV IT system 3 wiere without neutral distribution. How can i get 2 phase distribution as 220V AC (without N distribution)? Can i just tap L1 and L2? Some people tell me yes Some say i need Isolation transformer ... thanks for clearing my...

    All motor are design suitable to operate with different starters?

    Hi Guys, all motor design suitable operate by different starter? I mean, we do not need to consider starter type example like DOL, Soft Starter and VFD when we purchase a motor? We can decide on starter type later.. BR Michael
