    Voltage Drop Calculation

    This is an important issue for me. I spend several hours doing the spreedsheet, because I would love to understand if I'm doing the things right. This is not my academic background and I need help do understand this matter. Thank you Luis

    Voltage Drop Calculation

    Hi Waross, I don't know if I do the math correctly like you pointed maybe not (I did not fully understand its indications again) :( but I've tried. I found a manual on the web and I try to compute the voltage drop: "Electrical installation handbook Volume 2 1SDC010001D0204 ABB SACE Electrical...

    Voltage Drop Calculation

    Hi waross, I don't think I fuly understand you kind explation. I will try to do it. But what you said is that the R voltage dropp will be greater than the S an T phases,so it's not necessary to sum the R + S + T because they are diferent phases, becasuse they are distribute in the diferent...

    Voltage Drop Calculation

    Hey! This week I found this circuit in an industrial facility (at Europre). There is a Main Distribution Board that connects 4 Partial Boards as you can see in the figure below. In the Main Distribution Board there is an MCB (32A) dedicated to the heating of the Partial Boards. The circuit...

    Circuit Beaker - Switch Disconnector (Rated Current Selection Method)

    Hello, First sorry for my ignorance, but I really need help to understand an issue related to an electrical installation design that I have seen recently. I have an installation with several electrical boards: the Main Distribution Board and Secondary Distribution Boards powered from the first...

    HV Substations Insulators - Silicone Rubber RTV Coating

    My question is, when applying the coat in a Substation, what happened if the RTV Coating particles acumulate between the HV connector (live part) and the HV equipment terminal pad (live part), for instance? Or what will happened if the sprayed RTV coat acummulate direct in the bare alluminium...

    HV Substations Insulators - Silicone Rubber RTV Coating

    Hi! I've watched a video fee days ago where a RTV coating was being applied in a substation insulators. I've noticed that they noy isolated the application area (surroundig the insulator) and the product was floating by the air. My question, is: the product could accumulate in the HV equipment...

    Line Trap Positioning

    Thank you davidbeach and scottf for your support. That is clear now! That drawing was issued by my client and the unlabeled device is in fact a Surge Arrester. The CCVT is coupling capacitor voltage transformer.

    Line Trap Positioning

    Hi everyone! I need help to understand how the below line trap (LT) positioning/mounting will allow the correct functionality of the PLC system. As you can see this is a suspended mounted LT and bellow we have a CCVT: From my understanding, since the LT blocks the carrier frequency by...

    Substation Insulator Strings

    Very interesting! In this case, if I understood correctly, the distance between the arching horns should be such that in normal operating conditions, there is no arc between points A (230kV) and B (0V) and in the event of an overvoltage/surge discharge, that same distance, offers the least...

    Substation Insulator Strings

    Hello! @zeusfaber thank you very much for the explanation was quite enlightening! Mbrooke, Thank you once again for your patience and willingness to help me understand this issue. This forum is certainly very useful especially as people like you who, however banal, who may seem the questions...

    Substation Insulator Strings

    Hello! Absurdly, if a person could climb up the metal structure and sit in Point B, no harm would happen to him?
