What effects will occur if a chain reaction takes place in the device once the chain condition is met? Does the device necessarily have to start and stop operating?
It depends on the interlock logic; once an interlock is triggered, the subsequent actions taken as a result of it usually involve shutdown, pressure release, or shutdown of the equipment. It depends on the impact of such actions on the device
The design documents are available; look for them carefully. Interlocking is just a switch – who can know how many lights a switch in your home controls? Or just a power outage? “
There are many types of interlocks, varying in severity~
Some interlocks simply shut down one piece of equipment and then start the backup equipment, while other interlocks shut down the entire unit. It is recommended that you consult the design specifications or documents, as they contain detailed information on this topic; it relates to intrinsic safety.
Once you understand interlocking, you’ll know which ones will stop and which ones will start! Not all interlocks are the same! Interlocking is designed based on operational requirements, safety, and other factors.
Looking at the interlock logic of the equipment, some interlocks shut down the pumps, some shut down the compressors, some shut down large-scale units, and some cause an overall shutdown of the system
