    Motor starting voltage dip (MV)

    Hi Power0020, if you want to be on the safe side no more than 10%, aux no more than 3%. Moreover, check the motor's torque curve and the load curve.

    Transformer ventilation

    Rule of thumb : Design your ventilation system for a ΔT=5K plus 20% air flow safety factor.

    Step-up transformer vector group

    Hi ScottyUK, thanks for your answer. Consequently which is your proposal for my simple case ?

    Step-up transformer vector group

    Hi electrichie123, there is no changeover supplies. Step-up transformer is fed by a standby gen-set. YNd configuration means STAR connection in medium voltage 20kV side (I'll use solidly grounded neutral) and DELTA connection in low voltage 0.4kV side.

    Cable good or not

    Hi tem1234, the only way I know is to recheck the cable according to its production standards.

    Step-up transformer vector group

    Thanks jghrist for your answer. Perhaps the question was not so clear. So, is there any regulation (or other tech restriction) which determine to use an exact vector group for the step-up trafo if the vector group of the step-down trafo (Dyn11) is known ?

    Step-up transformer vector group

    Hi everyone, I am trying to finalize the specification of a step-up transformer but I can't find a lot of information about vector group. The existing step-down transformers of the installation are Dyn11 type. After a discussion with a transformer manufacturer his proposal was YNd11. A rough...

    Earthing of cable tray body

    This type of installation is essential in case of non-linear loads (VSD) supply cables (depends of EMC level you want to achieve in your installation, cable tray metal cover etc). Moreover as a designer you can calculate with higher accuracy the total resistance of ground path. Of course, as...

    Earthing of cable tray body

    Hi masalah, mechanical connection of two parts sometimes is not an adequate electrical connection. So it's better not to mix them up.

    FluidFlow3 or AFT

    FluidFlow3 is cheaper.

    Safe distance between the high voltage tower and the residential buildings

    I agree with jraef. In Greece there were many fights with puplic power corporation for the same reason. Nobody wants a transmission line near his house. Now there is a rule of thumb "Don't buy a house if there is a transmission line in a distance of 50m".

    Leaking Switchgear Roof Repair

    Hi isnata, use polyester in two layers reinforced with fiberglass. Two layers in cross will give you extra safety. Keep in mind that the preparation of the surface of the metal plate is very important for a good result.

    Questions on some Etap :D (basics)

    Hi LionelHutz, sysy is student

    Questions on some Etap :D (basics)

    Hi sysy, my recommendation is to start with a very basic diagram (Grid - MV switch - Trafo - LV switch - Load). After that you can add more and more items in your diagram according to your background.

    HV cable

    Hi isloh, did you check the cable size according to short circuit withstand ?

    ETAP STAR! (requesting help)

    Hi sysy, Unfortunately it's difficult to find a single line diagram with all data available. As you can understand you have to set a lot of values in the tabs of the ETAP which are not illustrated in the single line diagram. I believe that it will be more helpful to join your theoretical...
