In one of our newly commissioned plants we have a motor Motor ( rating 415 V,2.2 KW,4.3 Amps, 1455 rpm).This motor is powered through VFD ( V/f control ). The normal operating range for the motor was 265 to 1465 rpm . However for meeting the process requirement , the motor is required to be run...
What is electric efficiency and thermal efficiency for a gas engine ? If power output is given , how to calculate the fuel consumption ? Which efficiency will come in the calculation, electric or thermal ?
For our installation , we are planning a common emergency DG set (EDG) of 2000 KVA , 415 volts. However there is one location with anticipated requirement of 200 KVA which is approximately 2 km distance from the EDG. The location and the logistics do not allow a separate EDG set of 200 KVA to be...
We are planning a captive power generation of approximately 18 MW ( 3 x 6 MW gas engine driven generators). Can we go for a 1600 KW DOL start motor ? What is the correleation between the generator capacity and the maximum permissible rating of motor for DOL start ?Is there anything we can take...

For our newly installed induction motor , the cable size used is 3C x 95 sq mm ( PVC , Armoured) , whereas the gland (double compression) size is higher ( suitable for 3C x 120 sq mm) . As a result there is a slight gap between the cable and the gland. Does this effect the Ex d protection of the...
