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.Spread fixture arms (E) so they are at equal distance from each other, if applicable.

3.Thread mounting screws (A) into mounting bar (B) (may be preinstalled) (see fig. 1).

4.Secure mounting bar (B) to outlet box (C) with outlet box screws (D) (not included).

5.Thread hex nut 1 (F1) onto nipple (G), then thread nipple (G) into coupling (H) and secure with hex nut 1 (F1).

6.Identify color coding of fixture wires (see fig. 2).

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

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

9.Repeat steps 7 and 8 with the white (group B from fig. 2) fixture wires and outlet box wires.

10.Partially thread green grounding screw (J) into side hole (K) on mounting bar (B) (see fig. 1).

11.Wrap ground wire from fixture around green grounding screw (J) leaving enough excess wire to then connect ground wire and outlet box wire with wire connector (I), if applicable.

12.Tighten green grounding screw (J).

13.Tuckwires inside outlet box (C).

FIXTURE ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Warning: This fixture is for indoor use only.

1.Raise canopy (L) to ceiling, allowing mounting screws (A) to protrude through openings in canopy (L), and secure into place with cap nuts (M) (see fig. 1).

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

3.Raise nipple cover (U) if applicable, cover (N), washer 1 (O1), rubber washer (P), glass shade (Q), and washer 2 (O2) up to fixture ring (R), with nipple (G) protruding through opening in glass shade (Q), and secure with hex nut 2 (F2).

4.Place decorative cap (S) over glass shade (Q) and secure with finial (T).

5.Turn power back on at circuit box.

W-185 specifications

The Westinghouse W-185 is a notable entry in the landscape of nuclear power technology. Designed during the mid-20th century, this pressurized water reactor (PWR) has made significant contributions to the commercial nuclear power generation field. With a thermal power output of approximately 1,000 megawatts, the W-185 was conceived to meet the growing demands for robust and reliable energy sources in an increasingly electrified world.

One of the main features of the W-185 is its use of enriched uranium as fuel. This choice is a characteristic of PWRs, allowing for a more efficient fission process. The reactor operates at high pressure to keep the water in a liquid state, even at elevated temperatures, which is vital for maintaining efficiency in heat transfer. The design incorporates a secondary cooling system, wherein steam generated in the primary loop is transferred to a secondary loop for electricity generation through turbines.

The W-185 employs advanced safety systems that align with modern nuclear regulations and practices. Safety is bolstered by multiple backup systems, including redundant cooling mechanisms and containment structures designed to withstand significant external events. These safety features are critical in addressing potential concerns around nuclear accidents and ensuring public trust in the technology.

In terms of operational efficiency, the Westinghouse W-185 is equipped with automated control systems that facilitate real-time monitoring and adjustment of the reactor's functioning. Digital instrumentation enhances the ability to respond to operational anomalies, contributing to safer and more efficient operations. Further, the reactor has been designed to allow for extended operational lifespans through regular maintenance schedules and upgrades.

The Westinghouse W-185 plays a pivotal role in demonstrating the potential of nuclear energy as a clean and reliable power source. As countries around the world grapple with energy demands and the transition to reduced carbon emissions, technologies like the W-185 represent a crucial component in the energy mix. Its design illustrates how nuclear technology can meet energy needs while adherating to strict safety and environmental standards, making it an important case study in the evolution of nuclear power generation. The Westinghouse W-185 stands as a testament to the advancements in nuclear engineering and the future of sustainable energy.
