The application of wire rope shock and vibration isolators to protect sensitive equipment from seismic events is presented. Dynamic analyses of protected equipment subjected to typical seismic excitations are reviewed using a proprietary software program. The analyses for wire rope isolators and typical undamped spring isolators with snubbers for a circuit breaker and backup generator set are compared.
