    CS Energy Ltd Callide C4. The coverup continues after RTS at vast cost with no insurance

    I think that there might have been less push-back if you'd just added to the existing discussion in thread815-516441 rather than starting a new thread that doesn't build on what's gone before. When one this sentence into the German to translate wanted, would one the fact exploit, that the word...

    FEMA's Outdated Flood Zone Maps

    Term does. Whole Life and other similar types of policies, which have much lower payouts per dollar spent on premiums, continue on to the end of life. When one this sentence into the German to translate wanted, would one the fact exploit, that the word order and the punctuation already with...

    "Zero offset" in tranformer's inrush current

    Just the right point on wave when it closed into that phase. When one this sentence into the German to translate wanted, would one the fact exploit, that the word order and the punctuation already with the German conventions agree. -- Douglas Hofstadter, Jan 1982

    Power Factor

    Er, no. The definition of power factor is real power (W) divided by apparent power (S). There is a companion reactive factor which is Q/S, but it's much less commonly used. When one this sentence into the German to translate wanted, would one the fact exploit, that the word order and the...

    thread248-375754 Hello everyone.

    That was nearly 10 years ago. Various participants are no longer active on Eng-Tips, some deceased. Don’t hold your breath hoping for an update. When one this sentence into the German to translate wanted, would one the fact exploit, that the word order and the punctuation already with the...

    LV 3 pole ACB & Neutral

    I seem to recall neutral sensors being available options on ACB type 3-pole breakers 20+ years ago. Don't think they would have disappeared. When one this sentence into the German to translate wanted, would one the fact exploit, that the word order and the punctuation already with the German...

    BESTCOMS_DECS100_11000 - Error "Communication port is not responding"

    Basler and SEL use opposite configurations. The setup that works for one won’t work for the other. And, ironically, the easiest solution is using the SEL USB to serial cable and just switching the configuration switch as needed. When one this sentence into the German to translate wanted, would...

    Metering functions in the Digital relay Vs dedicated multifunction meter in the Incoming Mains

    Relay displays can be set to show the metering values, rotating from one set of values to another all without any button pushing. It's also, ultimately, irrelevant what values the multifunction meter shows, what's important is what the meter is seeing. Usually they're the same thing, but...

    Residential load calcs

    Hourly kW or just hourly kWh? If the AHJ is looking for 15 minute demand numbers, hourly kW may not be sufficient as it hides the peak values. Hourly kWh hide the true peaks even more so. When one this sentence into the German to translate wanted, would one the fact exploit, that the word...

    Residential load calcs

    I've never seen a residential rate schedule that included demand charges, and therefore there wouldn't be demand data in the bills.

    panelboard schedule in an MS ACCESS table question

    And it's even easier to use somebody else's programming as in the folks at SKM, Easypower, ETAP, etc. That wheel exists, no need for reinvention. When one this sentence into the German to translate wanted, would one the fact exploit, that the word order and the punctuation already with the...

    transformer for connecting 34.5 to 12.47 kV

    I'd say talk to your top two or three transformer vendors and see what they suggest; they may take different approaches from each other. Then ask each about the alternatives proposed by the others. If, for instance, vendor A says they could easily do what vendor B proposes but it would cost a...

    Calculated neutral current not matching measured neutral current

    Or, my favorite (?). Gotten calls from the field that transformer relay and the "multi-function meter" were showing radically different transformer neutral currents. Short story is that the MFM was displaying RMS current, a big number, while the relay was displaying fundamental current (a much...

    Power Meter Voltage input

    Option A also allows multiple meters to share the same voltage source. Maybe not such a big deal at 400V, but at higher voltages where VTs are required to provide the voltage to the meter, every VT is more money. When one this sentence into the German to translate wanted, would one the fact...

    Power Meter Voltage input

    Circuit breakers don't have primary and secondary sides. Generally the available voltages are used, where the currents come from is typically more important. The bus voltages are going to be there whether the breaker is open or not, but since the current goes to zero when the breaker opens...
