You will notice a huge difference between 2001+ and 2010 in both appearance and computer resource requirements. You may also have some "sticker shock" regarding the upgrade cost. Laptop specs depends on how full your wallet is. Skip Vista and go direct to Win7. Whether you need a 64 bit system depends on your models and assys complexity and size. However, a similarly spec's x64 system will cost as much as an x32 system, but...

Soft start motor starts in 1 hour
Published (2009-11-07 13:27:00)
( When you start the motor you put a large amount of energy into the rotor as slip losses while the motor accelerates. You should include this when evaluating the apparent savings you will make. Your control gear will be a maintenance nightmare, figure on either putting in a grossly oversized contactor or replacing it fairly frequently. Your proposal is frankly a terrible one from the electrical point of view. A motor running a pump dumping...

( Generally when someone goes to the bother and expense to put in a standby/backup motor this signals an exceptional need for high reliability. As such you should not consider using one VFD for both motors. A VFD has about the same chance of failure as the motor it runs. The correct setup would be two VFDs and some logic to run both motors alternately. This prevents bearing failure from non...

I am guessing both gererators are rated at 120MVA. If you use a three winding transformer and it fails then you loose 240MVA of capacity. If you use two 2-winding transformers and one fails you only loose 120MVA of capacity. But the additional cost for two transformers includes an additional high side breaker, and relay control scheme.

Horizontal shear in a beam or plate girder is mobilized by bending, so horizontal shear is not 0 at the center as would be for vertical shear. It is actually at a maximum with the maximum moment. The shear is created by the tension/compression differential in bending.
