Kyphil to the list & itsmoked: Steel conduit might have alleviated the problem, but it is difficult to shield a strong magnetic field. Having designed several MRI facilities, I am familiar with this. I think next time, I would use steel conduit, twisted shielded DC wiring and certainly kept it...
PROBLEM SOLVED! I thought I would let the members who have been helpful on this thread know what the solution was. The controls on the 15Kv tranfer switch were goofing up and they were getting all their supply from the 24VDC batteries. What was happening was that the two #12 in pvc conduit...
Hello Chemicalguy from kyphil:
Have you considered a white LED light panel of sufficent size to give you the coverage you need? Depending on the footcandle level you need, the LED's could be placed on a grid pattern on the board. They operate around 12 volts and could be dimmable, to tune the...
kyphil to the group: to answer Dnicejr, I am in Lexington, KY, USA (therefore kyphil). I have in my possession a demo unit made by Hioki, which seems to be a pretty reputable company. I am just learning about how to use it and will keep you all posted on my progress. It is indeed a lot more than...
kyphil to the group:
I have some more information based on your good posts that might help shed some light on the situation.
When the utility failure is simulated, the transfer switch signals the genset to come on and energize the pad mount to generate 480 volts wye that in turn generates...
As contractors, we have installed an emergency generator at a prison facility here in Lexington that is not functioning correctly. The configuration is a wye 12,47Kv primary feed to a 15Kv xfer switch. The xfer switch has two 15Kv C-H breakers in it with Lakefront electronics logic and control...
Hello Zogzog - thanks for your message. I agree with you that it is more than just taking pictures. I believe I can do the work, but will look into subbing it out.
Thanks / kyphil
I have a client who asked us as contractors to do a thermal survey of their hospital panels and transfer switches in the emergency system as a routine maintenance procedure. I know the technology and as a consultant, specified it many times but now as a contractor I have to do the work! I have...
