    Transmission Line Voltage drop/rise equation

    Resistance and reactance per feet or meter are usually given in tables at a specific power factor or a power factor of 1. If your power factor is not 1; you would then need to use Vdrop = IRcos(phi) + IXsin(phi) to account for the difference in power factor. phi = arcos(pf). To answer your...

    Low Voltage fuses

    Not sure what you are trying to find out about lv fuses; but NEC 110.9 deals with code related issues related to fuses. A manufaturer of lv fuses is Cooper Bussmann, and they have some application guides that deal with lv fuses and their interrupting capabilities. There is a guide called...

    IEEE std 242 Vs. The Art and Science of Protective Relaying

    Thanks for all the responses. I've decided to go with Blackburn's book. It seems to be more up-to-date. It would be nice to take one of the SEL classes, I did not know they were offered. Has anyone else taken any of them? If so what do you think about it? Here is a link to the Texas...

    IEEE std 242 Vs. The Art and Science of Protective Relaying

    Hello, I wanted to get an opinion from some experienced engineers in this forum about the two books mentioned in the title. I have started reading both books in order to gain knowledge on the topic of protective relaying. IEEE std 242 seems to be application geared; where as, The Art and...

    Thoughts on Substation/T-Line Engineer

    Zogzog, Maybe we can communicate through another board where I've made a similar topic question: http://engineerboards.com/index.php?showtopic=18769 MikeDB, Thanks again for you input. Texas does look like winner; there seems to be many opportunities there. Also the fact that they have...

    Thoughts on Substation/T-Line Engineer

    MikeDB, Thanks you for your synopsis. I think with 34 years of experience under your belt, your advice is very valuable. When you say you would avoid California, does that apply to the Western Interconnection in general, or just that state? Also, do you have an opinion on Texas and ERCOT, I...

    Thoughts on Substation/T-Line Engineer

    ZogZog, I'm open to moving to several states. My preference is to live in the state of Texas, Denver Colorado, Florida or California. Other states/cities of interest are Portland Oregon, Missouri Kansas City and Atlanta Georgia. As you can see I'm very open. Hopefully you are looking...

    Thoughts on Substation/T-Line Engineer

    Thanks for your response dpc. You are correct in that T-line engineers do not do fire alarm system design; which is precisely why I'm looking to change career paths. I want to work in an area that brings me closer to working with power systems. When I make reference to the Energey Delivery...

    Hello, I'm currently making a switch from working in the healthcare industry doing electrical distribution, Communications, and fire alarm systems to the Energy Delivery industry. I was hoping some of you could share your thoughts about working in this industry; and what the opportunities are...
