Engineering & Autocad Solution

Genset Heating Standard Procedure Genset is one of the equipment that functions to convert mechanical energy or rotation of the rotor into electrical energy. The generator has two main parts, namely the motor generator and the generator engine (usually a diesel engine), both of which are connected by a shaft. The generator itself has two main parts, namely the rotor and stator. The stator is the stationary part, while the rotor is the rotating part. This generator works when the genset control panel receives input if the power source from PLN dies, then the PLC or ATS (automatic transfer switch) will give an order to the genset control panel to turn on the generator, this is done automatically. What if the generator has to be turned on manually, for example when heating the generator? Genset as one of the supporting utility facilities of a building must of course be maintained regularly, one of which is heating the generator as one of the genset maintenance procedures. To warm up the g

The Difference Between "Text" And "Mtext" In Autocad And How To Convert It In operating AutoCAD we often encounter or use writing with the aim of providing information, showing something, etc. so that our drawings are easier to understand. To write in AutoCAD, we know that there are two options, the first is "TEXT" and the second is "MTEXT". So what are the differences between the two? TEXT For "text" itself we can call it single text or single writing. So if we use "text" we can only write one sentence in one piece of text. The disadvantage of this "text" is that it doesn't have any editing menu, we can't adjust or adjust our needs in this paper, instead we must first enter the properties menu. This means that from this "text" we can only edit the written content. To use this "text" we can use the command type "DT" then press enter. MTEXT As for "mtext" itself is an ab

Maintenance In the engineering we are certainly no stranger to this term, yes maintenance. Maintenance can be applied both in the industrial world (to maintain production machines and building utilities), construction (to maintain construction equipment) or even in household appliances. No machine or tool can work for a long time without proper maintenance. Well, in an industry, maintaining machines in good condition is very important. So what types of maintenance are there in an industry? And why is maintenance so important? Maintenance Definition Maintenance can be interpreted as the work of maintaining something (machine etc.) so that it is in good condition. As for maintenance or maintenance in industry is the practice of keeping equipment and machinery in good working condition for. Maintenance can produce a quality product. The purpose of industrial maintenance is to increase the life of industrial equipment, keep all plant assets in good condition at the lowest possible cost. In

Metal Classification Metal is one of the most abundant materials on earth. The need for metal is very high, especially in the industrial sector, especially the automotive industry and of course the construction world. On this occasion I will discuss a little about metals, ranging from classification etc. Metal Metals are divided into two main categories, ferrous metals and non-ferrous metals. 1. Ferrous metal is a metal containing the element iron (Fe), for example iron and steel. 2. Non-ferrous metals are metals that do not contain iron (Fe), for example aluminum, copper, gold, silver, tin, bronze etc. Between ferrous metals and non-ferrous metals are distinguished by their composition. For ferrous metals, we usually call them metal, for ferrous metals, namely iron and steel, they are divided into several types, among others. Iron Iron or can be called cast iron is divided into several types: 1. Grey iron 2. Malleable iron 3. Ductile iron 5. Compacted graphite iron 6. Austempered duct

Compressor Compressor is one of the mechanical equipment that serves to increase the pressure of the air by reducing its volume. The way the compressor works is almost the same as a pump, both of which function to increase the pressure of a fluid, only if the pump functions to flow fluid in the form of a liquid, while the compressor functions to drain the fluid in the form of a gas. Both flow fluids in a compressed pipe system. Because the gas or gas has compressible properties, the compressor compresses the air by reducing the volume of the air. Compressor Type 1. Reciprocating Compressor Reciprocating compressors use pistons that move back and forth to compress or compress air, this piston functions to suck air from the atmosphere through the suction valve and press it into the pressure valve. This piston is driven by a crankshaft or shaft, this shaft is connected to the driving engine, usually an electric motor or diesel engine, between the driving engine and the piston shaft connec

In electrical distribution systems, especially AC current for low voltage electricity, we often find terms around phase, neutral and ground. What is the difference between these terms? Let's discuss them one by one. Phase For low-voltage electric current, the term for low-voltage phase is divided into 2, namely phase voltage 380 V and voltage 220 V. Before we discuss further about low voltage, let's first discuss what a phase is. Phase is part of the conductor or conductor of electricity that contains voltage. The difference between the 380 V and 220 V voltage is that if the 380 V voltage uses 3 conducting wires or other terms 3 phases, the 220 V voltage only uses 1 conductor cable or other terms 1 phase. The voltage of 380 V is obtained from measurements between phases with other phases, while the voltage of 220 V is obtained from measurements between phases and neutral. This measurement is carried out using a multitester. The 3 phase system was developed because it has the ad

Grounding Have we known what a grounding or grounding system is? Grounding or grounding system is a safety system in the electricity distribution network to eliminate potential differences by draining the residual current from leakage voltage or excess current to earth. If this grounding system does not exist in an electrical network, it will pose a hazard to the safety of humans and equipment and the electrical service system itself. This grounding system connects electrical equipment and objects that have the potential to conduct electricity with the earth. This grounding system is an essential system of an electrical network system itself because with this grounding system, electricity can be distributed properly. Grounding System Purpose This grounding system has the following objectives: - Connect device with earth - Conveys lightning or other electrical charges to the earth - Prevent potential differences from occurring safely - Distributes fault current to ground - Prevents the

Temperatur Transmitter As instrument engineers, we are already familiar with this one device, yes, the temperature transmitter. What is a temperature transmitter? A temperature transmitter is a device used to monitor temperature, usually in a stream or enclosed space. The way it works is by sending a temperature measurement signal from the sensor to be sent to the temperature control or temperature indicator. The signal from the sensor is converted by the controller at the transmitter into a 4020 mA signal. This signal will be sent to the I/O or PLC for further processing. There are 2 types of temperature sensors, including: 1. RTD RTD or resistence temperatur detector works based on the resistance of the material that changes with temperature. An example of a device is the PT100. PT100 is an RTD made of platinum with a reference of 100 ohns = 0 degrees Celsius. 2. TC TC or thermocouple works based on 2 pieces of conductor wire of different materials whose ends are joined together. The

Types and Kinds of Electric Welding Machines Welding is a method of joining metal materials by heating the metal until it reaches the melting temperature of the material and then it is desired and becomes one part. In carrying out this process, you can use added ingredients or fillers or it can also be without added ingredients. There are various kinds and types of electric welding machines, in this post we will discuss them one by one. 1. MMA MMA stands for manual metal arc or often also called stick welding. We often encounter this type of welding machine in general, usually welding workshops on the roadside use a lot of this type of welding machine. This welding machine uses a welding wire or electrode in the form of a stick. This type of welding machine is a type of welding machine that uses a transformer and inverter to convert the AC input voltage into DC voltage. This DC voltage will be used to carry out the welding process. The way this welding machine works is by colliding pos

Geothermal energy is one of the renewable energy sources because the amount is very large and will not run out. Indonesia is lucky to have many geothermal sources because Indonesia is traversed by a ring of fire where there are many volcanoes along the ring of fire and of course it can be a benchmark for how many geothermal sources there are. Geothermal sources that will be used to become geothermal power plan, what is geothermal power plan? Geothermal Power Plan Geothermal power plant, this plant utilizes geothermal energy as a source of energy. The working concept is almost the same as a boiler, only the heat source comes from geothermal, not from burning coal. The working concept is like a kettle, it's just that the kettle referred to here is the layer of soil below the earth's surface. Geothermal uses geothermal resources, this heat comes from melted rock in the earth or called magma, this magma is usually in an inactive volcanic area. Magma lies deep below the earth's

Difference Between MCB And MCCB Maybe we've often heard the terms MCB and MCCB, but do we know the difference between MCB & MCCB? 1. Current Rating The first difference is in the current rating, for MCB the current rating is only up to about 63A, while for MCCB it can be up to 1000A or more. So the usage is different, yes, if the MCB is usually used for small loads or loads, while the MCCB is usually used for large loads. 2. Price The second is the issue of price, MCB is much cheaper than MCCB. 3. Trip Level The third is from the trip level, if the MCB trip level is fixed, namely at the maximum current capacity listed on the MCB body, while the MCCB trip level can be adjusted. 4. Interupting Capacity The fourth difference is the interrupting capacity, the interrupting capacity itself is the maximum limit for the resistance of the current that passes through the MCB or MCCB, meaning that if there is a current that exceeds the interrupting capacity limit, the MCB or MCCB will be

Plambing System The plumbing system is a system of supplying or dispensing water to the places we want without any disturbance or pollution of the areas it flows through and can meet the needs of the occupants of a building in terms of water problems. Types of plumbing equipment include: - Clean water provider - Hot water provider - Disposal of dirty water - Rainwater disposal - As well as other equipment related to piping. Material requirements or plumbing materials: - Does not pose a health hazard - Does not cause eye irritation - Does not cause radiation interference - Does not interfere with or damage other systems in the build. Let's discuss one by one this plumbing system. 1. Clean Water Supply Systemv This clean water is used to support activities within the building itself, including bathing, washing, cooking, etc. There are various sources of clean water, one of which is underground water and water sources from PDAM or clean water supply and distribution companies. Clean W

In combustion engines for 2-wheeled vehicles or motorcycles, there are 2 types of fuel and air mixing systems, namely the carburetor system and the injection system. The second aims to mix fuel and air with the right ratio. Carburetor The carburetor uses a low-pressure airflow generated by the movement of the piston on the intake stroke. Carburetors only depend on piston movement to mix fuel and air, the faster the piston movement, the faster the air flow in the venturi carburetor, the lower the pressure on the venturi and the easier it is for fuel to move to the venturi. The fuel mixture ratio does not change at each RPM as long as the carburetor is not adjusted. Injection System Meanwhile for the injection system, the amount of fuel that is mixed is already regulated by the ECU or electronic control unit, where the amount of fuel that is sprayed by the injectors is regulated by the ECU taking into account various inputs from sensors, these sensors include throttle sensor opening or g
