Titre : Earthquakes and electrical equipment
Description : In all countries there is either a zone of significant seismic activity or installations
which require high security in order to operate. The electrical and control and monitoring equipments
must assure their safety functions. Summary on earthquakes and specifications, seismic withstand
capabilities at the design stage. Design and qualification require numerical analysis and scientific and
technical data processing methods.
