    H Is a low, leading power factor causing our subsea power distribution issues?

    The fault is intermittent, which makes this all the more difficult to define. I am not too sure on the operation of the Bender, but I had assumed, possibly incorrectly, that transposing a DC signal may have been a poor choice by introducing DC into the end load, which is an isolation/step...

    H Is a low, leading power factor causing our subsea power distribution issues?

    Gents, this will be a long winded. We have a subsea power coupling module that provides isolated 550 VAC to our subsea control pod on a well in the Gulf of Mexico. The power line is actually termed as an umbilical, with the two cores or wires running from our power unit on the platform to...

    What is the best approach for an offshore oil worker to study physics?

    I am good on the clasical side, and I have Geo, Trig, and Algebra...as math history. I am an Instrumentation and Control Tech, so I use a lot of math on the calculations for different circuit types. I have no college level calc or physics though...The calculus is the kicker I am sure, but I...

    What is the best approach for an offshore oil worker to study physics?

    Hey All, I am an offshore oil worker and have a lot of time to devote to my studies of Physics. I am interested in the pursuit of a general understanding of Relativity, Quantum, and Thoeretical Physics. Although I have a basic understanding of the concepts, I would like to ask the...
