Protection Against Direct or Indirect Contact Without Automatic Disconnection System

What is Safety Extra-Low Voltage (SEVL)?

Safety by extra low voltage SELV is used in situations where the operation of electrical equipment presents a serious hazard, like swimming pools, amusement parks, etc. The impulse withstand level of insulation between the primary and secondary winding is very high. The secondary voltage never exceeds 50 V rms.

Three conditions of exploitation must be respected in order to provide satisfactory protection against indirect contact:

Construction High Risk Activities Handling Smart Guide

How Handle Construction High Risk Activities Smartly?

A number of workplaces are familiar to pretence a high level of risk to the health and safety for workers and other people. These activities are specifically need to regulate under significant group of personnel of the organization and certain activities require the worker performing the task to be licensed by government presided institute.

Demolition is high reach arm is another traditional method of demolition. The threshold for defining a high reach demolition is when it reaches a height of more than 20 meters. This method is usually formed by a base machine (excavator, tank, engine, counterweights), a demolition arm consisting of three sections or by a telescopic boom and a primary tool attached to the base machine (crushers, shears, hammers). High-reach demolition machines can be equipped with different tools to make them suitable for executing demolitions of structures.

How Maintains Site Diary Smartly in a Construction Project ?

How to Maintain a Site  Diary In Project Site Work?

The site diary is actually a record book that contains every day works to record and small changes that are not possible to take prior approval in papers. To continue the site works uninterruptedly as per the decisions of the site engineer site diary is important to note for a site supervisor.

Site Diary also known as Construction Daily Logs, The bigger the project, the bigger the need to document the project on-site. Also if the site is very large then you need multiple supervisors with special skills. You might want to supervise each area separately like electrics, structures, HVAC, Hygiene-Safety & Environment, and others. And this should be done for all buildings on the project.

More than 16 amps current is not safe for this circuit, if it crosses the limit, there may be some problem and it must need control and heads the circuit to safe mode.

Commissioning and Test Procedure of Power Cable and Equipment

Testing methods for power cable insulation depend basically on the type and material of cable insulation. Cross-linked Polyethylene (XLPE) is now spreading widely for power cable insulation at the rated voltage of 66 to 500 kV worldwide.

Quick and easy understanding of commissioning tests for transmission lines and major equipment. Here specially focused on the underground power transmission line, underground cable megger testing, cable fault location and main causes of cable fault, and some manufacturing faults. You also find some megger test procedures for transformer or circuit breakers, or common methods for insulation tests and megger tests.
