The article presents an approach to determining the electric drive’s operability based on an asynchronous motor with a short-circuited rotor and a two-link frequency converter. Mathematical description of the frequency-controlled electric drive is performed, in particular, selection of criteria taking into account an electric and mechanical part. The harmonic current distortion coefficient as a component of the power coefficient is used for the determination of the energy criterion. The mechanical criterion is the coefficient of the electromagnetic moment pulsation, on the value of which the conjugated equipment depends. The operability field is represented as a function of three variables: (а) rotor speed, (b) current harmonic distortion coefficient, and (c) electromagnetic moment pulsation coefficient. The obtained surface makes it possible to determine the actual state of the electric drive and to estimate the reserve of operability, which allows reducing the operating costs in terms of repair and maintenance.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the main factors of socialization that affect a person at the stage of admission to a higher education institution. The study is based on a 2020 survey of students of St. Petersburg Mining University. The paper analyzes such factors as family influence, academic performance, changes in the circle of friends, and new conditions. As a result, each of the studied factors was characterized, as well as the phenomenon of value conflict and the possibility to consider high academic performance at university as an indicator of successful socialization were noted.

Today the industry is facing a shortage of skilled workers and an aging workforce, which will eventually lead to a loss of knowledge. But augmented reality technology can connect field workers with experts who are able to provide remote guidance in real time. The subsequent advantage is that the information obtained by AR devices can be used as accumulated successful experience in the future, which facilitates decision-making in specific business processes of the company. With AR, employees gain experience and skills much faster. This paper shows the application of augmented reality technology in the maintenance of electromechanical equipment. The main functions of the augmented reality system for servicing electrical equipment are presented, the solution to the problem of integrating an augmented reality software application with existing automation systems is shown, and the methods of interaction of the developed software module with third-party modules, for example, various analytical modules, etc. are described.
