Protection System
A system that protects electrical systems from faults by isolating the problematic part from the remainder of the system, preventing power from being cut from healthy elements, improving system dependability and efficiency is the protection system. Protection devices are the equipment that are utilized to implement the protection system.
Predictive Maintenance System
Predictive maintenance technologies are designed to assist in determining the state of in-service equipment so that maintenance can be scheduled. Predictive maintenance is the application of information; proactive maintenance approaches examine the condition of equipment and anticipate when it should maintain. The purpose of predictive maintenance is to forecast when equipment will fail (depending on a variety of parameters), then prevent the failure through routine and corrective maintenance.Condition monitoring is the continual monitoring of machines during process conditions to maintain optimal machine use, which is necessary for predictive maintenance. There are three types of condition monitoring: online, periodic, and remote. Finally, remote condition monitoring allows the equipment observed from a small place and data supplied for analysis.
Preventive Maintenance System
To maintain the equipment and materials on a regular basis in order to maintain those running conditions and reduce unnecessary shutdowns due to unexpected equipment failure is called Preventive Maintenance (PM).
![**Title: Analysis of Circuit Equivalent Resistance**
**Text:**
3. A given circuit in Figure 1 below has an equivalent resistance. Determine the equivalent resistance.
**Diagram Explanation:**
The circuit diagram shown in Figure 1 consists of multiple resistors connected in a complex combination of parallel and series arrangements between two points \(a\) and \(b\).
- **Resistor Values:**
- Top branch: 3Ω in series with 6Ω
- Middle branch: 12Ω in parallel with 4Ω
- Bottom branch: 4Ω in series with (4Ω in parallel with 2Ω)
**Options for Equivalent Resistance:**
(a) 5 Ohm
(b) 6 Ohm
(c) 8 Ohm
(d) 10 Ohm
To find the equivalent resistance, the following steps should be considered:
1. Calculate the combined resistance for resistors in series and parallel.
2. Combine the calculated resistances to find the total equivalent resistance between points \(a\) and \(b\).
**Educational Objective:**
This exercise aims to strengthen your understanding of calculating equivalent resistance in complex circuits by identifying series and parallel resistor connections and applying the appropriate formulas.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F5da51913-c323-4d26-a6fa-9cc288247ee9%2F124026ab-ae2c-4c12-9258-5234e0f0d5de%2F6w86l5v_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
