1 ELEKTRIJADA 2011 I a) Read the text carefully and fill in the blanks: A high voltage cable - also called HV cable - is used for electric power t. at high voltage. High voltage cables of differing types have a variety of a. in instruments, i. systems, AC and DC power transmission. In all applications, the i. of the cable must not d. due to the high voltage stress, ozone produced by electric d.in air, or tracking. The cable system must prevent contact of the high-voltage c.with other objects or persons, and must contain and control leakage current. Cable joints and t.must be designed to control the high-voltage stress to prevent b.of the insulation. Often a high-voltage cable will have a metallic shield l. over the insulation, connected to earth ground and designed to equalize the dielectric stress on the insulation layer. High voltage cables may be any length, with relatively short cables used in apparatus, longer cables run within buildings or as buried cables in an industrial p. or for power d. and the longest cables are often run as s. cables under the ocean for power transmission. Like other power cables, high voltage cables have the structural elements of one or more conductors, insulation, and a protective j.. High voltage cables differ from lowervoltage cables in that they have additional internal layers in the insulation jacket to control the electric field around the conductor. I b) Read the text below and fill in the blanks with one appropriate word: This revolutionary elevator system is based on the first major b. in lifting technology in nearly 100 years. Designed for buildings between two and 30 s., this system employs a smaller sheave than c. geared and gearless elevators. The r.sheave size, together with a redesigned machine, allows the machine to be
2 m.within the hoistway itself el. the need for a bulky machine room on the roof. Just as unique are the flat polyurethane-c.steel belts, an Otis invention for the Gen2 elevator system, that replace the heavy, woven steel cables that have been the industry standard since the 1800s. The belts make the smaller sheave possible. They are only 0.1 inch (3 mm) thick, yet they are as strong as woven steel cables and far more d., flexible and space-s.. Machine-roomless elevators are ideal for a variety of a. and the most unusual, such as the Christ the Redeemer monument in Rio de Janeiro. II Provide the words for the following explanations: 1. Containing or consisting of iron 2. Higher in rank, status, or quality 3. lastingness: permanence by virtue of the power to resist stress or force 4. Intensify, increase, or further improve the quality, value, or extent of 5. The using up of a resource 6. The process of keeping something in good condition 7. Of very good quality 8. A small piece or amount of something, esp. one that is left over after the greater part has been used 9. A form of steel containing chromium, resistant to tarnishing and rust
