Hello Group! Imagine you are going to install 20 small chassis (shelves) in one rack in Central Office. If you know your acoustic noise level from one chassis, is it any way to calculate total noise? Sorry, if it is not the smartest question. Please reply!!! Need an answer!!! Thanks, Mark Gandler

Three Phase Power in Japan?

I understand that in some parts of Japan you will find 100V and 200V single phase in lieu of the standard 120V or 230V. Does this apply to three phase power as well? I have been told that Japan uses a strange three-phase open delta; four-wire, earthed mid-point of phase. This gives you 200V singl

Zohar, I'm not familiar with that power level, but I am going to assume that you are going to have to know the wavelength of this thing as well. The permissible power output level for the smaller class 1's is dependant on the wavelength. I believe the reasoning is that the different wavel
