Science - Electronics / Elect Eng / électricité | | French term or phrase: ambiante enveloppe air de ventilation enroulements | Seems the writer doesn't like commas: How many temperature terms are there?
Context: "Mettre les transformateurs sous tension et leur imposer les charges progressives suivantes :
... À chaque changement de charge, vérifier les températures suivantes : ambiante enveloppe air de ventilation enroulements;" |

| | ambient, case, ventilated air, windings | Explanation:
There are four temperatures:
ambiante --> temp. of the air surrounding the transformer
enveloppe --> temp. of the metal box containing the transformer
air de ventilation --> temp. of the air coming out of the box, either through natural convection or forced by fans
enroulements --> temp. of the windings (i.e. the coils of wire carrying the current.
The temperatures will be higher as you go down that list, and the aim is to ensure that the last one - the winding temperature - doesn't get so high as to melt the copper or its insulation, causing insulation breakdown and short-circuits. |
