シャドーイング練習: What is Insulation Resistance Testing (IRT)? - 動画で英語スピーキングを学ぶ
レッスンを作成中...
1
Testing insulation resistance is a key part of commissioning and troubleshooting any type of electrical system.
2
Let's go ahead and start off with the fundamentals.
3
Now you notice on the screen here, IRT, insulation resistance testing.
4
You're going to hear me say that over and over again.
5
Sometimes it'll mean IRT, insulation resistance testing.
6
Other times I'm going to use it in regards to the meter we use to perform the test.
7
That's right.
8
An insulation resistance tester.
9
So what is this all about anyway?
10
Well, we use an IRT meter to measure resistance that'd be measured in ohms by applying a constant voltage to a circuit,
11
a conductor, or a piece of equipment that's under test.
12
The analogy here is it's like pressure testing water pipes.
13
We apply a high pressure, in this case, a high voltage, and we make sure none of these electrons are popping out and leaking out of the circuit.
14
If we have a low resistance value that indicates we have damaged insulation or some path for electrons to escape the circuit.
15
Now you also hear this commonly called Megering because Meger, one of the several manufacturers of these meters developed the first one back in 1889.
16
You'll also hear the term mega ohm meter used pretty much interchangeably for IRT or insulation resistance tester.
17
So what is IRT, insulation resistance testing used for?
18
Well, one big thing is commissioning, right?
19
We want to make sure that our conductors and equipment have proper insulation
20
before we turn that system on for the first time.
21
And if we look at various standards out there that are applicable to PV systems, IEC 62446, testing insulation resistance is one of the things we're supposed to do when we commission a system.
22
This allows us to find faults that may exist before we turn it on
23
and use the power source to find the fault.
24
And we can also establish baseline values for that installation so that we can see that if it degrades over time, we know that something's happening.
25
This also might be performed as part of preventive maintenance, a regular testing regime that we do as part of maintaining the system.
26
This would be based on standards, contracts, and equipment manuals.
27
It's a little invasive of a procedure and there's other ways to verify
28
that things are working okay so we don't see this quite as often in PV systems, but it can allow us to identify conductor insulation degradation
29
and verify the integrity of equipment such as busing insulation and switch gear and switchboards, transformer insulation, breakers, and other gear associated with our system.
30
The biggest thing we're going to use it for is corrective maintenance, troubleshooting when we have ground faults and we need to track those down.
31
The image on the slide here shows a conductor being tested
32
for insulation resistance in this case it has 11 giga ohms of resistance
33
and that actually is the maximum that this particular meter can read to
34
so we've pegged
35
that meter you can also see the test voltage that's being
36
applied here 1048 volts in the case of this particular test

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
