    Inverter earth fault

    Hi to all. I have noticed some tripping of a Danfoss inverter VLT5000 with alarm 14 EARTH FAULT. After recycling the power and resetting the inverter it resumes normal operation. Is there any logical explanation for this ? Earth fault is a short circuit between phase and earth and is something...

    Electromagnetic flowmeters

    Thanks for your answer m777182. I suppose that the rings are for achieving the same potential between inlet and outlet of the plastic pipes but i was waiting for a justification.

    Maximum allowed operating temperatures

    Hello to all. i am new to this forum and i want to ask for your help to the following. i want to know which are the maximum allowed operating temperatures ( or temperature rises) in conductive materials like busbars, cables, contactors, circuit breakers, terminals, cable joints etc. I find this...

    pH and redox troubleshooting

    I have install a system for the combined measurement of pH and ORP(redox) in a starch slurry tank. The electrode is Mettler Toledo 3250SG and it is cleaned periodically. Unlikely i have noticed a permanene deviation of pH measurement (sensor 2,95, laboratory measurement 3,3). Which are the...

    Electromagnetic flowmeters

    Hello I have to install flowmeters in PPE pipes for measuring the flow of HCl(hydrochloric acid) 35%. Should i install the grounding rings as the manufacturer suggest? And also what is the straight unimpeded run at the inlet of the flow sensor? The manufacturer suggest 5xD (sensor diameter)...

    Temperature rise acc. to Standards

    Hi guys I am working on a thermpographic survey of my plant and i want to find the highest temperature limits in which an electrical equipment, like a circuit breaker or a fuse switch disconnector can work. The manufacturers state always the ambient temperature, not the working themperature of...

    Explosive area question

    Hello to all. I am looking for the operating temperature limits of electrical installation equipments. From the manufacturers manuals it is indicated only the maximum permissable ambient temperature. From other web sources i have seen that there is a direction reference to a term called...

    Capacitor power connections in Star-Delta starter

    Thank you all for your time and advise. I am doing what most of you suggested. Connect the capacitors to the live part of the contactors (after the fuse disconnector) and give control voltage to the capacitor contactor from a auxiliary contact of the delta contactor. laundry the motor is 0.79 pf...

    Capacitor power connections in Star-Delta starter

    First of all thanks for your response. I have already purchased Siemens capacitor contactors and i am thinking to energize the capacitor when the D-contactor(triangle-full speed) is on. I will connect them after the fuse-switch disconnector instead of using dedicated fuses for the capacitors...

    Capacitor power connections in Star-Delta starter

    Hello to all. I have a star-delta starter for a 37kW motor(400V,50Hz) and i want to connect the 30kVar capacitors to the circuit. What is the best connection scheme that i should use ? I want also to use a capacitor contactor. Thank you very much for your time.

    Cleaning of redox electrode

    Hello. I have installed a Intrac mechanism for a combined pH/redox electrode with automated cleaning system. I have checked that after cleaning the pH reading is coming to its normal value after 1 minute but for the redox(ORP) reading there is always an offset of +40 mV. The temperature before...

    Temperature of contacts of contactors

    rraghunath Thanks for the reply Is there any documentation from web where i can see more details. In all the manufacturers that i have search i have seen that the give only assmbly instructions for the main contacts.

    Temperature of contacts of contactors

    Hi . I want to make a study about the temperature effect on switchboards. I ahve found enough docs on internet except from one subject : the temperature of the main contacts of a contactor or a circuit breaker. In all the documentation i have seen specifications for the ambient temperature but...

    Siemens Midimaster Vector trip

    Hi to all and many thanks for your responses. I tried the setting with 30 seconds in parameter P003. After that we stop the inverter without any overvoltage trip F001. Also about the vector control , it seems that the inverter in vector control is far better and has a more dynamic response (it...

    Siemens Midimaster Vector trip

    Thanks for your time. weh The motor is 40HP/2pole/400V and drives a centrifugal fan. I have changed the operating mode P077 from 1 (flux current control) to 3(sensorless vector control). sed2developer I have also increased the ramp down time to 30 sec. Now i wait for the next stop command to...

    Siemens Midimaster Vector trip

    Hi guys. I have an inverter Midimaster Vector (Siemens). After start-up we have periodically trips with code F001. There is not a problem in the load. I have chosen operating mode P077=1 and the ramp-down time is 12 sec. Can you tell me your opinion ? Thanks in advance for your time.
