ASTM D4881 - 05(2012) Standard Test Method for Thermal Endurance of Varnished Fibrous- or Film-Wrapped Magnet Wire
Individual varnishes behave differently when applied to the same fibrous- or film-wrapped magnet wire when exposed to elevated temperatures. Likewise, a varnish does not always behave the same when applied to different types of fibrous or film-wrapped magnet wires and when exposed to elevated temperatures. 1. Scope 1.1 This test method covers the determination ...

What`s the difference between carbon offsets and renewable energy credits, anyway?
You think you understand renewable energy credits (Renewable Energy Credits 101). You're sure you understand Carbon Offsets (Carbon Offsets, Why No Two are Created Equal). You are fuzzy on the details about how they differ and when the purchase of one or the other might be appropriate. Never fear! If you can tackle those two monstrosities, this one will be a cakewalk. If you don't understand ...

Detecting risky residual currents using differential current measurement: operating electrical systems safely with RC monitoring
Residual currents in low voltage networks represent a fundamental safety risk, if they go undetected or if they are detected too late. They may cause operations to be interrupted unexpectedly, incurring damage to man and machine and in the final instance, leading to high costs. "Detect early, warn and take action" are the watchwords in risk prevention. Permanent monitoring of residual currents is ...
