    TC-ER Control Cable Grounding NEC

    Doing a further dig into the NEC it looks like I am able to classify the circuits as Class 1 Remote-Control and Signaling circuit (assuming my CPT is a Class 1 transformer). I can't however find any grounding requirements that are associated with class 1 circuits. I have dug pretty deep into...

    TC-ER Control Cable Grounding NEC

    Greetings, I have a 120Vac Control Cable that runs from a small 100VA 1-Ph CPT located in a MCC to a Relay Panel. Am I required to run a equipment grounding conductor within the cable to consider it TC-ER rated? There are numerous of these cables that are running between the two pieces of...

    Table 310.104(E) Cable Insulation

    7anoter4, Yes you have the same question as I do. Why does the 1hr. time limit come in for 133% insulation? Also how much current/potential is allowed on the shield for over 1 hr on a 133% insulated cable. If it is zero (Current/Voltage) then I would be forced to add some type of protection to...

    Table 310.104(E) Cable Insulation

    Can anyone give me an explanation of how duration of line to ground fault is tied to the insulation level (100%,133%, 173%) of the cable? See notes 1,2,3 in NEC 2011/2014 Table 310.104(E). I'm curious how these times were determined and if fault current has anything to do with this duration...

    Calculating Subtransient Sequence Reactances

    Hello Everyone, I am trying to calculate the positive, negative, and zero sequence subtransient reactances for a generator. I asked the vendor for this information and was of course supplied with different information than I requested. Is there a way to calculate (pos,neg,zero) subtransient...
