Inside the power supply unit of the sapphire crystal grower

Operational supplies:

Demineralized water under a pressure of 4?10E5±0.5?10E5Pa(Pascal) (4±0,5 kg/cm2). Water temperature must not be higher than 20±5°?; debit of water should be 3.5 m3/hour;
Nitrogen gas, purified to the level required by GOST 9293-74 and supplied under 0,5?105Pa of pressure (0,5kg/cm2).
The power supply of the device is realized by three-phase four-wire (with a zero wire) networks of alternating electrical current with a voltage of 380V(Volt), a frequency of 50(60)Hz.
Quality standards of electrical current should meet the requirements of GOST 1.3109-87.
