Clarification. This is a Skid mounted generator set designed to be housed in some type of container or building.
Thanks for the replies. I apprceciate your feedback!
I am installing a new 480 Volt, 1825 KW standby generator (its predecessor suffered a generator bearing failure during an extended run). The new unit sat outside at the dealer for a couple of weeks in almost constant rain/wind and high humidity. It was wrapped in plastic sheeting for part of...
I am using RSLinx V2.42.00 to communicate over a WAN to 32 remote PLC's. These are Micrologix 1200 and Micrologix 1500 PLC's with 1761-NET-ENI modules being used to provide the ethernet interface. Is there a maximum number of OPC topics that can be configured within RSLinx? Somewhere I heard...
Thank you for the many responses to my original question. One last issue that you may be able to help with. Can anyone direct me to a copy of the IEEE 1584 standard, or at least the section that shows that it applies only to AC. Not trying to circumvent copyright laws, but I don't need the...
You need 15 volts and 3 amps, but for how long? This will determine in large part how large your battery pack needs to be. You need to figure out the desired amp hour rating of your application. 15 amps @ 3 volts is 45 watts. If it needs to run for an hour, then you need a 3 amp hour...

I agree with your train of thought, however, the 20 cal/cm2 requirement wasn't taken from article 320. Our engineer used the incident energy calculation taken from Annex D, paragraph D.8.3. This calculation does not specify a minimum application voltage. If you plug in the available...
We operate a fleet of diesel generators. Most of these generators utilize two 12 Volt batteries in series to provide 24 VDC starting power at approximately 400 Amps continuous cranking current. The batteries are rated at 190 Amp Hours (20 hour rating) with 1300 cold cranking amps.
We recently...
Thank you to all for this information. There are several good links to other information contained in these replies and it is definitely worth checking them out.
Bottom line for me is that there is still some debate regarding the type of testing that is most effective for Medium Voltage cables...
Thanks for the information on IEEE 400. I have read through this document and there is good information to be found. Below is a specific case of what I am working with:
Currently, we are testing 5KV cables terminated at one end in the generator (4160 VAC) and at the other end in switchgear...
I have quite a few on-site backup power generation facilities (located at customer sites, commercial and industrial)ranging in size from 16 MW down to 350 KW. Age ranges are from 3 years to 12 years or maybe a little older.
I am trying to establish an electrical preventative/predictive...
