Diagrams Wiring

AI Thread Summary

Creating wiring diagrams for UL approved industrial control panels requires a solid understanding of electrical engineering principles. Resources such as online tutorials, textbooks on electrical design, and industry-specific guidelines can be invaluable for beginners. Websites like Dratv provide examples that can serve as references. Familiarity with software tools for diagram creation is also recommended. Utilizing these resources will enhance the ability to produce accurate and compliant wiring diagrams.

I recently graduated with a bachelors in Mech Eng and have been asked to create some wiring and line diagrams for UL approved industrial control panels for my first job. I need some good resources to guide me through this... Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'

Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
