  • How to calculate the core reel of a communication optical cable

    How to calculate the core reel of a communication optical cable

    With our easy cable reel capacity calculator, you can calculate the maximum reel, spool or drum capacity. Compute the ratio between the diameter of your chosen cable and the diameter of the conduit you plan to use. Calculate the amount of remaining space available for use in the cable tray once. For a good estimate, you need to have four numbers: the diameter of the core of the reel (the hub), the outer diameter of the rolled-up tape, the thickness of the carrier tape and the distance that the components are spaced from each other on the tape. You can use it when you need fast reference values during design or checking stages. Cable reels are widely used in industries such as telecommunications, electric power generation and oil and gas.

  • Current carrying capacity of high voltage switchgear busbar

    Current carrying capacity of high voltage switchgear busbar

    For copper busbars, IEC 61439-1 and common engineering practice recommend 1. The busbar sizing calculator determines the required busbar dimensions based on the continuous current rating, short circuit withstand, and thermal limits for switchgear assemblies. The current rating is calculated from the conductor cross-sectional area, material (copper or aluminium), and maximum. The IEC standard for busbar sizing provides detailed guidelines to help engineers select appropriate busbar dimensions. This ensures that systems operate reliably without overheating or causing electrical hazards. The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) issues globally accepted. Industrial high-voltage switchgear uses 100x10mm copper busbars (1850A ampacity) for a 3000A rated current. This guide is written for engineers, EPC teams, and procurement managers who need clear equipment decisions, RFQ details, and commissioning checks.

  • What are the effects of expanding the capacity of the optical splitter

    What are the effects of expanding the capacity of the optical splitter

    Fiber optic splitters with higher split ratios can share the OLT optics and electronics costs as well as share feeder fiber costs and potential new install costs. By dividing a single optical signal from a central Optical Line Terminal (OLT) into multiple outputs for Optical Network. Optical splitters are passive devices that allow a single fiber optic line to be divided into multiple lines, enabling the distribution of the same high-speed connection to various endpoints. They are crucial for network expansion, especially in scenarios where multiple locations need to be. Optical splitters play a crucial role in Fiber to the Home (FTTH) Passive Optical Network (PON) systems, efficiently distributing a single optical signal to multiple destinations. They are devices that split an incident light beam into several light beams at certain splitting ratios.

  • Voltage busbar bridge current carrying capacity

    Voltage busbar bridge current carrying capacity

    The current-carrying capacity of a busbar depends on its cross-sectional area, the ambient temperature, and how it's installed. For example, a 50 mm x 10 mm copper busbar in open air can typically carry about 1000 A, assuming an ambient temperature of 35°C and a temperature rise. For busbar sizing, the primary references are IEC 61439 (for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies) and IEC 60287 (for current-carrying capacity of cables). These standards specify the parameters that should be considered when sizing busbars, including current rating, short-circuit. PCB busbars, however, provide several advantages, including reduced loop inductance, enhanced high-frequency current capacity, simplified assembly, and lower costs. The electrical power system consists of many incoming & outgoing feeder connections, for which busbars are necessary. A busbar is just a node (conductor or collection of conductors). This busbar is capable of carrying high currents where most electrical wires will burn out.
