Considerations for Selecting an Electrical Enclosure Cooling Solution

Electrical enclosures house critical components that generate heat during operation. Proper air circulation can make or break an electrical enclosure. Inadequate air circulation can lead to isolated temperature accumulation, running the risk of system malfunctions, reduced component lifespan, and compromised reliability. To select the best cooling solution for an electrical enclosure, consider such factors as the unit’s proximity to operators, whether it will be installed in a temperature-controlled facility, and the type of airflow inside the enclosure.

Trip Curves Explained: How NOARK Electric Ensures Your Safety

Trip curves in circuit breakers represent the relationship between the magnitude of the fault current and the time it takes for the circuit breaker to trip. These curves help determine the response of the circuit breaker to different levels of fault currents. The trip curves are typically categorized into different classes, such as B, C, D, K, and Z, each representing a specific tripping characteristic. For example, a Class B curve indicates a fast-tripping time for high fault currents, while a Class D curve offers a slower response for lower fault currents.

Signal Marshalling: Primary Requirements & Critical Success Factors

Signal marshalling plays a critical role in connecting instrumentation devices throughout large-scale industrial process plants via distributed control systems (DCS). It enables the reliable transmission of signals from thousands of distributed field devices like sensors, valves, and actuators back to the control room. The long distances and sheer volume of signals in expansive process facilities make it impractical to connect field signals directly to control units or I/O modules. Signal marshalling provides an interface to group and bundle signals, routing them over common transmission paths.

A Look at Cabling Best Practices for AI Data Centers

The dramatic growth of AI is driving unprecedented changes in data center infrastructure. Much attention has been focused on greater compute density and the need for innovative cooling systems to manage heat effectively. Cabling infrastructure also requires a new approach. AI servers use graphics processing units (GPUs) to deliver the raw computational power needed for AI workloads. GPUs are designed for parallel processing, enabling them to perform multiple calculations simultaneously. Still, one AI-enabled server is not enough to train an AI model and run some AI workloads. Multiple AI servers must be harnessed together in a high-performance computing (HPC) cluster.

How to Know if Your Outdoor Industrial Enclosure is Right for Oil & Gas Processing

The oil & gas processing industry is a complex space. Not only does a majority of production occur in uncontrolled or hash environments, but there is also a variable nature to the kinds of oil & gas processing sites, and each type of facility requires different infrastructure solutions to optimize productivity and efficiency. For example, the ideal type of industrial enclosure or climate control solution for an offshore oil & gas site can differ from a pump station facility, and deploying an enclosure that’s not equipped to handle the rigors of a specific application can result in more frequent maintenance intervals and losses in productivity.
