    Operation of asynchronous engine in escalators moving down

    I am interesting about operation of asynchronous engine in escalators moving down. Is the engine working as generator? If so, can an overload beyond maximum couple cause an escalator overspeed? Moreover, in generator operation, is the energy lead into grid or dissipated in a rhesostat? Thank for...

    Insulation provisional airline 11 kV

    A three-phase 11 kV aerial line on metal supports must be transferred to the new higher metal supports substantially in line with earlier. The supply line must be kept available, although of course out of service, during the raising of the new poles, but one of the phases goes to touch them. It...

    Electrostatic charges on a bare wire stretched in the air?

    A bare wire stretched in the air, in particular the conductor of a power line taut between their supports on its isolators, and never fed, without any type of electrical connections at the ends, can be the site of electrostatic charges? If so, why?

    Concrete platforms in a substation

    Concrete platforms with electrowelded net are being realized in a substation renovation, see the photos. Do you share this solution?. I have some doubts about those because the earth grid becomes inaccessible.

    How to use a total station?

    Sorry for the sacrilegious question, out of curiosity I would at least understand how such an instrument. I've had a rough idea of the rudiments of the theory (put up the instrument, collimate, etc..). I also have a Trimble 5600 of about ten years, without at least one couple of years and I...
