industrial-frequency proof voltage (50 kV) Explanation: Just another way of putting it — I prefer the logic of this, English so often uses less prepositions and is more inclined to turn the expression into an adjective. Plus there is a lot more logic in expressing the voltage adjacent to the 50 kV instead of the frequency! Rather begs the question what they mean by 'industrial frequency' in the first place? Ships and planes sometimes use 400 Hz instead of the more usual 50/60 Hz; could it be this? Or some other non-standard mains frequency? Or are they in fact simply referring to the standard mains frequency after all — the curious juxtaposition of '50 kV' looks suspiciously like a possible typo for '50 Hz'! OR: could this be not the mains frequency, but rather, some kind of 'frequency of occurrence' (of the overload) — that would certainly make the 'industrial' more understandable to me. More questions than answer, I'm afraid — but hope it helps anyway! |
