I've been asked for some grid quality requirements in a project. One of those parameters is current asymmetry. I'm trying to find any regulation or standard about it but I can't find. Does anyone know?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks for your comments. I think I discovered what it is. It seems to be some kind of system for data transmission by means of overlayed audio frequency signal to voltage wave from power grid to power plants. It is used, for example, to switch between day and night power-tariffs...
Thanks for your answers.
che12345: I mean than just converting the TT to TN-S wouldn't solve the problem because RCDs will be still untimely tripping anyway. I had guessed that converting TT to TN-S was just a maneuver to be able to eliminate RCDs. Regulations let that circuit breakers be the...
Hi all,
An industrial facility owner who suffers from frecuent untimely RCDs tripping in his facility was adviced to convert the existing TT earthing system into TNS. We've been asked to quote the engineering project for that. I've never seen this done before but I guess it is not quite...
Thanks for your comments.
Upstream breaker is new and has enough breaking capacity. Actually I was plannign to replace the downstream underrated breaker by a switch disconnector. My concern is that the downsream breaker could try to break the shortcircuit current and not be able, causing and arc...
I'm working on a project of an existing facility. There is a main switchboard with a molded case circuit breaker in the incoming whose breaking capacity is insufficient for the calculated short-circuit current. That incoming circuit will be properly protected in its beginning, by a new circuit...
Is there any way of getting the sum of the lengths of multiple polylines selected in Draftsight? I used to do it in AutoCAD with a LISP macro.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks EnergyProfessional.
There is an alternative power supply in case of main power loss, but the consumption in this case is substantially reduced at about 7%. The alternative power supply has an autonomy of 8 hours, and often power losses are not expected. Equipment is designed to work at...
Hi,
I was wondering if there is some standard that considers the situation of an HVAC system for a substation building during a main power supply loss. I'm participating in a project where ventilation was considered to be fed by a backup power supply but no air conditioning is posible while...
I've been searching for any european standard that stablishes the required distance between overhead power line and hazardous (ATEX) area but I couldn`t find anything. In my case I have a 66 kV line over an outdoor propane/butane bottles storagement rack in Spain.
I'd appreciate any help.
IEC 60076-1 and other standards detail a concept of a tolerance in short-circuit impedance value. As I understand this tolerance must be taken into account during the process of manufacturing the transformer, as it is hard to define initialy the parameters to achieve the required impedance and...
I would like to know if your understanding about this issue is the same as mine. I'm calculating the current for the incomming cable to the transformer and I need to know if I have to consider the nominal power or the derated power.
Thanks.
According to IEEE standard and others a derating factor must be applied to consider the effect of worse ambient and site conditions (altitude, ambient temperature) over an oil immersed power transfomer. As I understand, to assure the transformer won't suffer any damage, the transformer...
Hello,
I'm designing an electrical facility to feed some motors (>75 kW) through VSD. We consider some ANSI proteccion functions in the switchgear (50, 51, 86) as if it was a feeder possition and we consider the specific motor protection functions in the engineered VSD. Some of the vendors in...
