    BS 7430 resistance to earth

    Hi, May I seek some advice regarding BS 7430 requirement on resistance to earth. I see in Annex A regarding legislation (the Electricity Supply Regulations), it states resistance to earth has to < 1 ohm. I think it's referring to TN-S system. But how about TT system? And how about the HV (or...

    Rule of Thumb for Sizing Breaker for Future Capacitor Bank and Active Harmonic Filter

    HI, May I know if there is any rule of thumb to reserve the breaker provision for future capacitor bank and active harmonic filter in an electrical system - i.e. sizing the breaker for the future cap bank and AHF. The reason is that at the moment of design, we don't have any information about...

    Air Flooding System

    Hi, May I have some advices on air flooding system. Assume I have to design an air flooding system, e.g. a pressurized raised floor, how to estimate the air pressure drop of this flooding system in order to size the external static pressure of the AHU ? Thanks.

    Humidity Control for Tape Storage

    Hi, I've a case where it requires an indoor air conditioned environment be maintained at 16 to 25 degC and 20% to 50% RH, for tape storage equipment. Assume the load basically is sensible load (tape storage equipment only). If just using a normal chilled water system, e.g. 7 degC supply and 12...

    Transfer of STS at Phase Angles Difference

    Hi, Would like to seek some advices on STS. The design consultant designs with the source 1 and source 2 input to a single phase STS in different phases (e.g. S1 on L1 and S2 on L2, S1 and S2 originate from different power transformer). Assume this is incorrect / bad practice as normally S1 and...

    Non Standard Part Load Value for Chiller

    Hi, I'd like to get some advices regarding NPLV testing for chillers. Per AHRI, there are testing conditions defined for NPLV. However, I'm not sure if under BSEN 14511, are there similar testing conditions defined for non-standard operating conditions? Thanks PGEE

    Gas Suppression System Time Delay

    Anyone have experience designing / installing a gas suppression system with a gas discharge time delay of > 30s. My understanding from NFPA is that the time delay should be sufficient for evacuation, but not definitely 30s. However, in some authorities, it's stated in their code that the time...

    UPS static bypass vs STS

    Hi, If I have 2 separate UPS systems supplying a load through a downstream STS (input from the 2 UPS systems, what would happen if e.g. there is an inverter fault at UPS A (primary source to STS) - 1. UPS A transfer to the internal static bypass while STS still stick to UPS A as primary source...
