    LFI AC interference calculations using Australia Standards AS3835 and HB101 (and HB102) vs AS4835

    Hi everyone, I am wondering for those of us who are based in Australia, could we use the calculation methodology as per HB101 and HB102 for AS3835 to evaluate the AC induction voltages for a pipeline? The AS3835 is titled "Earth Potential Rise - Protection of telecommunications network users...

    Operating temperature of PVC conduit for X90 and X110 rated XLPE cables

    Hi all, Where we use X90 and X110 rated XLPE cables and we "push" the cables to run at a higher ampacity with a higher conductor operating temperature, say we take 80deg in this instance. If we run these cables in PVC conduits (typically buried in-ground), would these PVC conduits not be an...

    Zigzag TX rating - Westinghouse T&D vs IEEE C62.92

    Hi all, I am trying to size the kVA rating of the zigzag TX. The parameters are: 11kV, Ineutral = 400A, 60sec rating. Based on Westinghouse T&D book, the rating is calculated to be 11kV/sqrt(3) x 400A x factor of 0.104 = 264.2kVA. Based on IEEE C62.92.4:2014, the rating is calculated to be...

    Notable changes between IEC 60479-1:2010 and IEC 60479-1:2018?

    Hi, I am wondering if anyone can tell me if there are significant notable changes between the 2010 and 2018 version of IEC 60479-1? I have the 2010 version but not the newer 2018 version and the cost of 2018 is rather high for me. I am trying to weigh if it is really necessary to get the 2018...

    EN 50522 permissible touch voltage - body resistance question

    Hi all, I have searched the forum and found a few threads about the permissible touch voltage calculations but the threads do not answer my question so I would like to ask here. I wanted to calculate the permissible touch voltage as per EN 50522 and/or IEC 60479. Referring to annexe A of EN...
