What is the purpose of an IVR?

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

The purpose of the IVR.

Answer to Problem 1SA

The two core purposes of the IVR are as follows:

  • Voltage stabilisation.
  • Reduce radio interference.

Explanation of Solution

The IVR stands for Instrument Voltage Regulator. The two core purposes of the IVR are as follows:

  • The IVR stabilizes and limits the voltage to gauges. This leads to accurate gauge reading.
  • A radio choke included in the IVR clears the radio interference caused due to the pulsating output of the IVR.

Conclusion:

Thus, the two core purposes of the IVR are as follows:

  • Voltage stabilization.
  • Reduce radio interference.

250 mm 400 mm A B C E F 250 mm PROBLEM 1.52 Each of the two vertical links CF connecting the two horizontal members AD and EG has a 10 × 40-mm uniform rectangular cross section and is made of a steel with an ultimate strength in tension of 400 MPa, while each of the pins at C and F has a 20-mm diameter and are made of a steel with an ultimate strength in shear of 150 MPa. Determine the overall factor of safety for the links CF and the pins connecting them to the horizontal members. 24 kN
50 mm 12 mm B O C OA 300 mm 450 mm E PROBLEM 1.51 Each of the steel links AB and CD is connected to a support and to member BCE by 25-mm-diameter steel pins acting in single shear. Knowing that the ultimate shearing stress is 210 MPa for the steel used in the pins and that the ultimate normal stress is 490 MPa for the steel used in the links, determine the allowable load P if an overall factor of safety of 3.0 is desired. (Note that the links are not reinforced around the pin holes.)
