    3 Phase electric power and load calculation

    Three phase load: For a balanced wye connected load only: P = 1.732 x VL x IL in your case the load is not balanced so do the loads individually and add them up like magoo2 suggested. 56A x .22kv (phase A) + 42A x .22kv (phase B)+ 40A x .22kv (phase C) If the load was balanced and the...

    Main Service Shunt Trip Push Button!

    Hello all, I was asked to provide a shunt trip push button on the building exterior instead of a main service switch (knowing that the main distribution panel inside the building has a main breaker). This is asked to save cost since the main service is 3-phase 800A and providing a shunt trip...

    3 phase panel on an open delta service?

    I appreciate the responses , it all helped , i just don't understand the logic behind having such system, it just makes thing much more confusing for future upgrades and creates an unbalanced system!

    3 phase panel on an open delta service?

    I am designing a project at a building that has 120/240V, 3 PHASE, 400A electric service. I called the electric utility company and confirmed that there is (2) pole mounted transformers on the outside pole to provide open delta 3 phase service to the building(it means the neutral is center...

    The use of 25KV rated equipment on a 26.4KV primary?

    it is, it is either 25KV-125KV BIL OR 35KV-150KV BIL , government spec. but that is still not the question

    The use of 25KV rated equipment on a 26.4KV primary?

    it is 125kv BIL but if i get bushing or load break connectors and switches rated 25KV that is below my 26.5kv on the primary, it is like getting a disconnet switch rated 240v on a 480v system???

    The use of 25KV rated equipment on a 26.4KV primary?

    the question remains can i use (bushing,load break connectors, surge arrestors rated at 25kv) knowing that the transformer is 26.5kv Y - 480V Y ? the next standard rating for the (bushing,load break connectors, surge arrestors) is 35KV

    The use of 25KV rated equipment on a 26.4KV primary?

    these ratings are for the bushing, load break connectors, surge arrestors inside the transformer.

    The use of 25KV rated equipment on a 26.4KV primary?

    OK, so when equipment are 25kv rated, is this 25kv to ground or line to line voltage? if to ground then i am ok otherwise my line to line voltage is 26.4kv!

    The use of 25KV rated equipment on a 26.4KV primary?

    I have a pad mounted transformer rated: 750KVA,3 PHASE, Y-Y, 15.24/26.4KV - 277/480V. The rep. is telling me that i can use a class rating of 25KV,125KV BIL instead of 35,150KV BIL for insulation, but i am still not 100% convinced it is 26.4kv on the primary how can i get away with 25kv rated...

    Supply-side Bonding Jumper Vs Grounding Rod

    Hello Folks, I am having a debate between using a supply-side bonding jumper or a grounding rod for my main distribution panel. I have an outdoor 4.16-204KV-208/120V, 75KVA pad mounted transformer feeding an outdoor 3 Phase, 225A main panel mounted on a unistrut to feed sports field lighting...
