AI Thread Summary
High current capacity devices are crucial for industrial switching and control applications, including contactors, relays, and circuit breakers. These devices must handle significant electrical loads while ensuring safety and reliability. Key characteristics include current rating, voltage rating, and thermal performance, which determine their suitability for specific applications. While general overviews can be found in research papers and online resources, targeted questions can yield more precise information. Understanding these devices is essential for effective industrial operations.

I don't think you'll get an answer to such a broad and vague question. Honestly it sounds like the topic of a research paper to me. However, if you have specific questions, ask away.
 
Fred is right - answers to questions like that will at best get you a Wik link, which you could find and read yourself.
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
