    power factor issue

    Hello zoo, waross is correct; I agree more with his second recommendation, viz., you should find a local expert in power factor penalties. My reference was to a power factor correction unit that connects at the point of common coupling, meaning where your electrical services and your power...

    power factor issue

    Hmm, have I not seen threads in these fora relating to commercially available small scale power factor correction units for use at Point Of Common Coupling [ POCC ] ? You might want to do a search . . .

    Paralleling dissimilar Generators

    More problems, or more generators? :cool:

    Siphon

    Why not? If lower valve is closed and aspirator draws water up from the upper reservoir, will it not spill over the saddle of the apogee and prime the downstream side as well? Or am I missing something?

    Siphon

    If a valve is placed at the outlet and closed during priming, cannot an aspirator be used at the top of the siphon to extract the contained air? This would obviate the need for a foot valve at the inlet.

    Electric Boiler Question

    "Unfired" perhaps, but not without energy input; ability to liberate steam in such volumes as needed to preclude boiler or system over-pressurization is still very much in play.

    Wait to reenergize following lightning?

    We didn't use that at all in my utility; all 500 kV breakers and thus their auto reclosure schemes were all three-phase.

    Wait to reenergize following lightning?

    SPAR: short period auto reclosure, or something else?

    Wait to reenergize following lightning?

    Tree removal at 230 kV? Sounds like forestry practices / R/O/W clearing operations were either not being performed or seriously behind schedule . . . Practice when I was working was to confirm all infeed breakers open with Hold-Off / Hot Line Work Order tags [electronically] placed on all...
