What is the difference between expansion joints & thermal
expansion joints in Bus bar

Answer Posted / aditya hivalkar

i think expansion joints on busbars are at the extream end of it. these are provided for joining other busbar of additional panel at both ends of switchboards. thus utilising these joints we can add additional panels.
thermal expansion joints are used at the place where busduct terminates on switchboard busbar. when heavy current flows through busbar its busbar expands due to heat, this expansion put lot of pressure on switchboard's busbar. this may result in breakdown of switchboards busbar. so thermal expansion joints allows the busducts busbar to expand.

I want to put this query to SENIOR & EXPERIENCED ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS. 1)I want to know about the control circuit diagrams for control panels. I found it difficult to understand. Is there ant booklet through which we can learn the circuit diagrams? 2)I want to learn about conduiting, laying cables, preparing cable schedules and various techniques which is the part of building infrastucture(construction field). I don't have any experience in this area. I have experience in control panels only. that's why i am not getting any opening in building infrastucture (construction field).Can I get the job in this field as Trainee Engineer? How to enter this field? I need job in PUNE
