  • Is it okay to use protective sleeves for fiber optic connectors

    Is it okay to use protective sleeves for fiber optic connectors

    For applications where access and protection are both critical, self-wrapping fiber optic cable protection sleeves provide an alternative to heat shrink that's worth considering. These sleeves are typically woven from high-performance materials (like Nomex® or PPS), and instead of requiring heat. A Fiber Optic Splice Sleeve is a protective tube designed to encase a fusion splice—the point where two optical fibers are joined together. After two fibers are precisely fused using a fusion splicer, the splice is fragile and needs protection from physical stress, moisture, dust, and other. Here is how to pick the right type, size and quality for single-fiber, ribbon and FTTH work. The protection sleeve is meant to protect the splice joint and exposed fiber after the splice has been completed.

  • The reactance in relay protection is negative

    The reactance in relay protection is negative

    Negative sequence protection is a protective relaying scheme that detects these unbalanced conditions and takes appropriate action to isolate or alarm the affected equipment. Generators, large motors, and transmission lines are particularly vulnerable to negative sequence currents. Reactance relay is an overcurrent relay with directional limitation. It is specifically designed to operate based on the impedance of the system, focusing only on the reactive component (inductive reactance) of the impedance. Used to limit transient overvoltages due to. These characteristics define the operating region of a distance protection relay on the R-X (Resistance-Reactance) impedance plane. The current polarizing flux goes from upper polarizing coil magnet to lower electromagnet through cylinder and iron core.

  • How well does the relay protection work

    How well does the relay protection work

    The various protective functions available on a given relay are denoted by standard. For example, a relay including function 51 would be a timed overcurrent protective relay. An overcurrent relay is a type of protective relay which operates when the load current exceeds a pickup value. It is of two types: instantaneous over current (IOC) relay and definite time overcurrent (DTOC) relay.
