Hi All, I am designing a 5kV distribution system in underground ductbank, utilizing single-conductor, shielded phase conductors with an equipment grounding conductor included with each parallel set. System is low resistance grounded. Are the equipment grounding conductors required to be the...

lmbt, I believe the main substation transformers are each 25MVA 69/4.16kV. There are several secondary unit-subtations connected to this system ranging from 750 to 2000kVA, 4.16kV/480V. There are several large 4.16kV motor loads ranging from 250Hp to 6000Hp. Largest Motor Loads: - 2-4000Hp...

Marmite & Laplacian, My apologies. The installation is part of a plant expansion project, so it would be an entirely new distribution system. Thank you for your opinions. Regards, EETD

Hi all, I have a client who wishes to consider the cost change associated with changing from underground distribution to overhead for the following system: 1)Utility Transmission Voltage, 69kV 2)Plant Distribution Voltage, 4.16kV 3)Main Plant Switchgear: - Main/Tie/Main (N.O. Tie) - 4000A...

Thank you dpc and resqcapt19 for your input. I like the option of using 4/C cables. We'll just have to make sure the incoming section at the MCC can handle the cabling. And, I'll be sure to review 240.21(C)! Thanks, EETD

A while back I had heard a rumor that one of the styles of fluoresecnt lamps was going to become obsolete in the near future. (T8 or T12) Does anyone know any facts about this? Thanks for the help.

Thanks everyone for your responses. They have been very helpful. EETD

I am applying a 600kW primary service diesel generator at a manufacturing factility with an 8 to 10 hour production shift. A small load (i.e. 30 to 60kW) would need to be maintained for the remainder of the day. In general, when the facility is not in operation (16 hours a day) is it better...

Hello all, I am working on a project in South America in which the supply will be 415V/3Ph/50Hz, 4-wire. The requirement has been made that lighting and control system loads (i.e. motor starters, I/O, etc.) should be at 110V. In the states I am used to using a 3Phase 480-208Y/120 transformer...
