All,
I have a 3 phase, 415V, 1100kVA diesel generator as an emergency standby,the diesel engine is 1000KW. Currently I have 7 distibution boards that are supplied by 2 incoming feeders from the 6.6kV board. 1 feeder is supplying 2 boards that are conected together by the busbar tie and it is...
Hi,
I am looking for some clarification on my understanding of generator frequency response following a recent sequence of events.
The generator is an 280MW machine with a gas turbine prime mover connected to the national grid. Following an instantaneous drop in grid frequency fromn 49.97hz to...
Hi,
Please could you help my understanding on the generator performance and change in p.f when connected to a grid system in the following scenario;
A generator is connected to the national grid via a step-up transformer. The maximum achievable voltage at max power that can be achieved is...
Hi,
Please could you help with a theoretical dilemma I am having;
For the purpose of the question, imagine a three phase Ac generator with a rotor that is excited via a static excitation system and the dc supply fed via brushgear and slip rings. If the brushgear is removed, the excitation...
Hi,
I have been given a question that I dont fully understand or better put couldnt explain my answer 100% confidently , can anyone confirm and expand on their answer please;
The effect of a sudden increase in load on an electrical generator not controlled by an automatic voltage regulator...
Hi,
I am currently investigating and will be looking to eventually procure a transformer to supply an immersion boiler. The primary supply is 6.6kV and the boiler load is 400V / 2.5MW. I have contacted Siemens with a request for a quotation for a) an oil filled and b)a dry cast resin...
Hi,
We have a problem with our emergency diesel generator. The generator is a 1100kVA 400V 50 hz machine, manufacturer Leroy Somer with Siemens SIPROTEC 7UM62 relay protecton. On running the generator up it is stable and running fine for anything onload between 40minutes to an hour and then...
Hi,
We are in the process of beginning a feasibility study into upgrading our main cooling water pump motors to VFD and ideally removing the gearboxes as these are prone to failure.
Motor Details;
6.6kV, 4 Pole, 1500rpm, 2200kw
Pump Speed;
380rpm (Speed range would be 200-380rpm)
My question...
