    Multiple Circuit in Single Duct Bank Conduit

    Without using expensive software to determine the heating effect on each individual cable is there method to determine cable ampacity for multiple circuits in a single Duct Bank Conduit. I have 11 motors, 3 lighting loads, and 2 receptacles that are 750 ft from the nearest 480 Vac source. It...

    Compensate for Load Voltage Drop with a Transformer

    Senselessticker I believe I'm providing the confusion. I don't think I used the proper notions to describe the situation and I didn't understand the complete system. To clarify I have a 277 Light Panel in an electrical room. Due to the voltage drop the lighting panel would not be an option...

    Compensate for Load Voltage Drop with a Transformer

    Thank you sense. You mentioned using the secondary tap however I have not been able loacte a transformer with a secondary tap. Is this a special order item or standard on most industrial transformers. Sometime I get confused when denoting the voltage. For 480/277 source the primary voltage is...

    Compensate for Load Voltage Drop with a Transformer

    I have a situation where I have a 277 Vac, 20 A load about 750 ft from the source. Due to the voltage drop I would like to us a 480/277 transformer at the source and bump the secondary voltage to approximately 285 Vac to compensate for the voltage drop. Two problems I have is; that I will need...
