Abstract
Cemex es una compañía global dedicada a la elaboración y distribución de
materiales de construcción con sedes en más de 50 países y fundada en México en 1906.
En 1980, abrió su economía hacia otros países. En ese tiempo, ya estaba pasando por un proceso de consolidación y fue así como decidió extenderse hacia otros países forjando una de sus sedes en Costa Rica.
Durante su permanencia, esta empresa ha experimentado múltiples cambios en sus procesos industriales, como consecuencia de los avances Tecnológicos. Esto ha repercutido en la integridad de los equipos que protegen y distribuyen la energía eléctrica. Así mismo, estos elementos que componen el sistema eléctrico demandan ser más complejos y robustos para asegurar la protección de éste y del personal de mantenimiento.
La reposición o el mantenimiento de estos equipos puede causar un comportamiento no esperado en la red ante una falla. Por ende, es conveniente realizar los estudios pertinentes para pronosticar o evaluar el comportamiento de la falla. En ese sentido, el estudio de arco y choque eléctrico determina la cantidad de energía liberada por una eventual falla en el sistema eléctrico, la cual es obtenida bajo el cálculo y
modelado; en consecuencia, se obtiene el nivel de protección requerido para estimar los límites y las condiciones de seguridad en los lugares de trabajo, EPP y herramientas requeridas.
Este proyecto tiene como fin establecer elementos de seguridad rigurosos para el mantenimiento y la operación de los equipos energizados, lo cual reducirá la afectación a la integridad de los operadores al sufrir quemaduras provocadas por el contacto directo o indirecto con una falla en la red eléctrica.
Cemex is a multinational building products manufacturer and distributor with offices in more than 50 countries. It was established in Mexico in 1906. It opened its markets to other countries in 1980, but it was still during a privatization period at the time. This is how it chose to branch out into other nations, establishing a base in Costa Rica. This corporation has experienced numerous improvements in its manufacturing processes because of technical advancements, which has influenced the integrity of the machinery that protects and distributes electrical resources during its lifetime. Similarly, the components that make up the electrical grid must be more complicated and durable to ensure the safety of the system and the repair personnel. Replacement or repair of this equipment may result in unpredictable network behavior in the event of a malfunction, therefore it is useful to conduct relevant experiments to forecast or test failure behavior, such as arc and electric shock studies this determines the amount of energy released in the case of an electrical circuit breakdown, these calculations and simulation determines, the degree of security needed to predict the limitations and safety conditions in the workplace, as well as PPE and required equipment, is determined. The aim of this project is to create strict protection elements for the repair and management of energized devices, which will help to protect operators' dignity by reducing the risk of burns caused by direct or indirect interaction with a fault of the electrical network.
