    Transformer Oil Power Factor

    Can someone explain the meaning of "Transformer Oil Power Factor". An analysis of our transformer oil indicated a sudden change in Power Factor that gradually began to recover. When we refer to PF, we refer to the relationship of real and reactive power. How does it equate with oil analysis...

    Line Charging Susceptance

    I have to come up with a bunch of data for the System Operator. We've managed to pull most of the data together except for the "Line Charging Susceptance" of an underground cable. I'm not an Electrical Engineer so any help on how I can come up with this will be greatly appreciated. I've checked...

    Sequence for restoring section of bus

    For the sake of argument, a section of bus is removed from service. Breakers are opened, disconnect switches are open and associated ground switches are closed. When restoring this bus, i feel ground switches should be opened followed by the closure of the disconnect switches.Is there a standard...

    Glycol concentration and heat transfer

    In a closed loop cooling system designed to run at 50% Glycol/50% Water, the concentration has dropped to 30% glycol. How will this affect heat transfer capabilities. The temperature range for this fluid is approx. 60 - 120 degF.

    Variable frequency transformer

    It allows the transfer of power between grids. As far as i know there are two in existance, one in Quebec and one in Texas. I believe they are also building one in NJ.It's described as a "continuously variable phase shifting transformer that can operate at an adjustable phase angle"
