Francesco Francesco Borghesan Advanced Process Control Engineer at Evonik Hello everybody, thank you for your answers! I will look at the software of Opticontrols. I contribute to the discussion indicating the material that i personally found interesting to understand which variables and which control configurations offer the best solutions in general for distillation columns or at least the general problematics that you can find with such systems (reactors and plant wide control are topics I still have to study :) ) * universitary on line course with practical point of view http://nptel.ac.in/courses/103104050/

As such the IEC standards governing Circuitbreaker / Isolators is IEC 62271-1-2007 the following are the tests conducted on a Circuit Breaker : 1. Power Frequency voltage withstand test 2. Lightning Impulse Withstand test 3. Switching Impulse voltage withstand test

4. Visible corona test 5. Corona Inception/extinction test 6. RIV test
