    Wye motor in delta power system

    Thank you. A follow-up question about grounding: I'm told my client will accept wye wound motors where the motor winding is not grounded. Isn't this inherent to wye wound motors? Are there problems using a wye wound motor with grounded winding in a delta power system?

I have minimal experience with aqueous ammonia but everything I could find on design of aqua ammonia storage required the storage tank to be closed from atmosphere, have a pressure set point around 30 Psig, and provide some sort of vacuum relief. There...

    IECex vs. ATEX certification

    I am working on a project requiring instruments to be provided with IECex certificates, and comply at least with IEC 60079 group Ex II2G EExd II CT6. Is it correct that an ATEX (or CSA, FM, etc.) agency approval would not provide an IECex certificate, and is therefore unacceptable...
