Mounting and Wiring Instructions

NOTE: Underwriters Laboratories (UL) does not require all fixtures to have ground wires. These fixtures meet all UL specifications.

1.Turn off power at circuit box to avoid possible electric shock.

2.Thread nipple (A) into center hole on mounting bar (B) approximately 1/4 inch (see fig. 1).

3.Secure lockwasher (C) and nut (D) to nipple (A) on mounting bar (B).

4.Secure mounting bar (B) to outlet box (E) (horizontally or vertically, see fig. 1) with outlet box screws (F) (not included).

5.To connect wires, take black fixture wire (group A from fig. 2) and place evenly against black outlet box wire. Do not twist wires.

6.Fit wire connector (G from fig. 1) over wires and twist until there is a firm connection. If wire connector (G) easily comes off, reattach and check again for a firm connection.

7.Repeat steps 5 and 6 with the white (group B from fig. 2) fixture and outlet box wires.

8.Partially thread green grounding screw (H) into side hole (I) on mounting bar (B) (see fig. 1).

9.Wrap ground wire from fixture and ground wire (metal or green wire) from outlet box

(E) around green grounding screw (H) on mounting bar (B).

10.Tighten green grounding screw (H). Do not over tighten.

11.Tuckwires inside outlet box (E).

FIXTURE ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Warning: This fixture is for indoor use only.

1.Place back plate (J) over nipple (A).

2.Secure into place with cap nut(s) (K).

3.Secure glass shade(s) (L) into holder(s) (M) with thumb screws (N) or with retaining ring(s) (O), whichever is applicable.

4.Install lamp(s). Do not exceed recommended wattage.

5.Turn power back on at circuit box.

W-349 specifications

The Westinghouse W-349 is a prominent model in the landscape of nuclear reactors, specifically designed for its unique operational capabilities and safety features. As a pressurized water reactor (PWR), the W-349 operates by using water as both a coolant and a neutron moderator. This dual functionality ensures efficient heat transfer while maintaining a stable reactor core environment.

One of the main features of the W-349 is its commitment to safety. The reactor incorporates advanced safety systems, including redundant cooling mechanisms and rigorous containment structures designed to withstand extreme conditions. The control systems employed leverage state-of-the-art digital technology, enabling real-time monitoring and adjustments. This automation not only enhances operational efficiency but also significantly reduces the likelihood of human error.

In terms of performance, the W-349 boasts an impressive thermal output, typically operating at a capacity of around 1,000 megawatts. This level of output allows the reactor to serve as a cornerstone in the energy grid, providing reliable power to countless homes and businesses. The design incorporates efficient fuel usage, with advanced uranium fuel rods that extend the intervals between refueling, thereby decreasing operational downtime.

Another significant characteristic of the W-349 is its modular design, which facilitates easier maintenance and upgrades. This modularity allows for components to be replaced or enhanced without necessitating extensive shutdowns, thus ensuring that energy production remains consistent year-round. Furthermore, the reactor is designed with seismic resilience in mind, ensuring stability in the event of earthquakes or other geological disturbances.

The W-349 also emphasizes environmental considerations. It is engineered to minimize radioactive waste through advancements in fuel recycling and management technologies. This commitment to sustainability aligns with the growing global focus on reducing carbon footprints while meeting energy demands.

In summary, the Westinghouse W-349 combines cutting-edge technology with stringent safety features and impressive operational efficiency. Its robust design, advanced safety protocols, and environmental sustainability make it a pivotal player in the field of nuclear energy, paving the way for future advancements in energy production while addressing the pressing needs of modern society.
