About Lesson
Design and Specification Considerations
-
Voltage and Current Ratings
- Ensure all components are rated for the operating voltage and expected current loads.
-
Short Circuit Ratings
- Components must withstand the maximum fault current levels anticipated in the system.
-
Environmental Conditions
- Design for temperature extremes, humidity, and potential contaminants (dust, salt, etc.).
-
Safety and Protection
- Compliance with relevant standards (e.g., IEC, IEEE).
- Adequate insulation and spacing to prevent accidental contact and arcing.
-
Accessibility and Maintainability
- Design for easy access to components for inspection, testing, and maintenance.
- Modular designs for quick replacement of faulty parts.
