    Substations vandalized

    As eye watering the cost would be, IMO every substation serving >5MVA of load have their transformers outfitted with ballistic protection and concrete perimeter walls expanded to none BPS/BES substations. Substations weaknesses are too well known amongst bad actors not to be rectified.

    North Carolina power substations taken out by gunfire

    It appears both auto-transformers were indeed damaged at the West End Substation. Aerial footage shows both 230kV disconnects open and associated bushings grounded. Disassembled radiators can be seen in front of the north-west unit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGE92ryM5vI&t=6s Based...

    North Carolina power substations taken out by gunfire

    One of the substations mentioned is called "West End 230kV Substation 6910 NC Hwy 211". Which can be found here on Google maps: https://www.google.com/maps/@35.21967,-79.5303,515m/data=!3m1!1e3 Viewing Google earth it appears this station has three 230kV incoming lines, two 230/115kV...

    Loop Impedance in US (NEC) based designs

    "Loop impedance" and "path impedance" are one in the same. You're thinking of "earth fault loop impedance testing" which differs from calculating the series impedance of a circuit during design.

    Loop Impedance in US (NEC) based designs

    Hi David, this is simply untrue and a very dangerous assumption: Please see 110.10, 240.4 and 250.4 (A) (5): Table 250.122 makes a note of this. Circuit impedance is required to be taken into consideration in order to allow an over current protective device to open before the thermal...
