    Do I need a tertiary?

    Will there be any load served either between where the 12.47 source is and this transformer, or between where the 24.9 source is and this transformer. I.E., is this a tie somewhere out on two distribution circuits? If yes, I think I'd go with the five limb Yg-yg. If no, I think it would depend...

    Job Hop

    I think mentorship, culture, support systems, processes, nature of the work, and the talents of the individual are all variables that make figuring out that number impossible/useless.

    3000A 230kV Getaway Cable

    Here's a couple of 230kV risers: These two may be in the neighborhood of 2000kcmil CU and 900A per cable @ 75% load factor: https://www.google.com/maps/@33.4284814,-111.9620986,3a,70.4y,240.75h,109.62t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s23HxxKV2WObtctkQaDJqAA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?authuser=0...

    Medium Voltage Distribution Issue

    Depending on the distance between terminations and/or joints, what you mentioned is one technique that is sometimes employed to manage voltage or current on shields in 69kV+ transmission cables. Personally I haven't heard of or seen this done by US utilities on a distribution system. Honestly to...

    3-phase, 4-wire WYE system

    Assuming you meant to say grounded, yes you need to.

    3-phase, 4-wire WYE system

    No, this is not the case. It is not 5 nor 3 but precisely 4. I too apologize for any confusion caused.

    3-phase, 4-wire WYE system

    waross, is this a Canadian practice or are you saying you think this is allowed by NEC (or NESC)? I think I recall you saying before that it's a common practice (in Canada) to place a neutral only on the last few spans before a transformer station. As far as I know such practices were prohibited...

    Can a stand by generator 264 kW supply a 75 kW compressor + some loads?

    crshears, prior to seeing your post here I felt inclined to read all of Max's posts and after having done so I'm pretty confident they're coming from some AI.

    Medium Voltage 3 phase Transformer Terminals.

    From C57.18.10-2021 IEEE Standard Practices and Requirements for Semiconductor Power Rectifier Transformers From IEEE 1653.1-2016 IEEE Standard for Traction Power Rectifier Transformers for Substation Applications up to 1500 V DC Nominal Output From IEEE 1653.2-2020 IEEE Standard for...

    CYME Meter

    I think you're going to need either long term dynamics or load flow with profiles module to do any time series stuff. You will also probably find more support on the Cyme forums.

    NEC and utility meter

    If the current service disconnect is indoors I think 230.85 would come into play, depending on what the AHJ requirements are.

    BESS maximum number of MV transformers per feeder

    Do you want to use 200A load break elbows?

    38kv Metal Enclosed vs Padmount Switch

    Not aware of any with a visible break, but solid dielectric gear is available for 34.5

    NEC 250.186

    A service point is located inside the utility substation. The customer owns and installs the conductor to the service point. The service conductors are underground in conduit. Does 250.186 require a wire type supply-side bonding jumper from the service point to the service disconnect? 250.190...

    Available fault current ratings

    Why do you suggest an AHJ would need to approve this in regards to the acceptability of installing the panel at this location? It is simply lowering the "available fault current" as mentioned in 409.22.

    Relay pickup above breaker continuous rating allowed

    C37.010-2016 and C37.20.2-2015 discuss short-time loading of breakers and switchgear. Also see NEC 490.21(A)(4)(1).

    Wind and solar farm collector sub transformers

    Located in central US where we own some wind farms and have power purchase agreements with many dozens of others. It seems that at all of these locations, the transformer at the collector sub (35kV to transmission) is a GndWye-Delta-GndWye configuration. I have a few ideas of why this...

    CYME to Etap Conversion

    Have Cyme but not ETAP. Watched a video on youtube featuring ETAP 14 and there was an XML import in the DataX module, did you try that? Do you know how to export files from Cyme? Are you on the latest version of ETAP? Maybe ask ETAP?

    Line to line fault analysis and equations. Doubt

    I think the problem is in using the A phase sequence components. With the A phase sequence components, you have Ia = I0 + I1 + I2. If I1 = -I2 and I0 = 0 then Ia must be 0. I think to do the derivation correctly the sequence component definition you use must match the the phase that has 0...

    How to get pu reactance values from % reactance for synchronous generators

    It is a percentage of the "base impedance" i.e. X_pu = X_actual/Z_base
