    "Zero offset" in tranformer's inrush current

    What you mean by "magnetic flux outside the iron core"? I have used term "DC offset" instead of "zero offset", both are same.

    "Zero offset" in tranformer's inrush current

    It is due to saturation of magnetic core. In steady state, Flux produced in one half cycle is cancelled out by MMF of next half cycle. During charging, we need to close CB at exact point on wave (taking residual magnetism in account) to acheive normal current levels without any inrush...

    Calculated neutral current not matching measured neutral current

    In this case THD is 2.7% and difference in neutral current is >50%. There should be some other issue.

    Calculated neutral current not matching measured neutral current

    Neutral current should be = Vector sum of currents in all three phases. So, you need phasor angless.

    GENERATOR DIFFERENTIAL CURRENT PROTECTION TRIP ISSUE

    From this, CT polarity is the probable cause of trip. Checking CT polarity and correcting is the solution. Further, regarding single point earthing for CT secondary circuit: Generally, one side set of three phase CTs make has siingle point earthing. And other side set of three phase CTs has...

    Current transformers- over voltage on open circuiting secondary

    Practically, I have seen one CT failure due to CT open circuit in metering core at 132kV level. In all other cases, there was another current path developed by melting of cables / terminal blocks etc.

    Current transformers- over voltage on open circuiting secondary

    violent failure of CT with explosion: It depends, if it is dead tank type CT with oil filled and porcelain housing, pressure developed can explode CT. In some cases over voltage can create insulation failure of cables, or terminal blocks, causing short circuit of CT secondary. In this case CT is...

    DCDB EARTH FAULT

    DC earth fault locator kits (based on low frequency injection) are avaiable, which does not require isolation to some extent. But it needs expert person to identify exact location.

    Three Position Switch in GIS

    Are you talking about three positions: [ol 1] Disconnector close, Earth switch open Disconnector open, Earth switch open Disconnector open, Earth switch close [/ol] It has advantage of having only one drive mechanism for both disconnector and earth switch.

    Battery Cell Rating

    Temperature is missing in this rating. 105AH will at a particular temperature (Normally 27 deg C).

    One phase current less during enrgization

    Does low inrush current is oberved always in C-phase, or it is changing randomly with every attempt? Is there any controlled switching device?

    Why do faults result in an arc on high-voltage systems?

    IMO, arc cuases melting of conductor. After melting, molten material will go down by gravity.

    Why do faults result in an arc on high-voltage systems?

    Once arc is produced, air is no more insulator. It is chain of ionized particles. Elongation of arc will reduce the current but cannot make it Zero. When arc is extiguished at any current Zero, recovery voltage appearing across ionized particles will re-establish arc, because air does not regain...

    Synchronisation in the transmission network - the TSO's practical approach

    These days bay controller units are used to synchronise two networks in transmission sector. Not sure about generating ends.

    Trip cause in ABB Relay REF615

    Its Phase to Phase Under Voltage start. When it will trip, it will show Trip. Application configuration needs to be checked, as trip contact can be operted from start event.

    Question on switchgear interlocking. Do you need to be able to operate it while doing maintenance?

    Yes Yes Discoonector can be operated when CB and ES is open, and ES can be operated with disconnector open. Mostly interlock bypass is not required for checking operation. Yes, if interlocked with keys, Keys needs to be moved between ES and disconnector. Bypassing interlocks is also sometimes...

    Overhead transmission lines crossing and local earthing effect

    Local earthing should be at the point of working. Even if you use two local earthing, distance between these two should be very low (say <3m). There will not be any circulating current. In one practical case, when working at 11kV line, worker pulled conductor of 11kV line with a jerk. It started...
