    Reactive Load Bank vs Resistive Load Bank

    Can anyone tell me or point to a white paper that explains when you should spend the extra money for a reactive load bank? What is the chance you will test the genset using a resistive load bank and when you need to start large, (4160v 800hp), motors it fail, etc?

    parallel utility for load bank

    Thanks for the details on paralleling, and how to use the plant rather than the utility for the loadbank, I will need to work on isolating load and not shutting down plant. As for the advise to find an expert, I did when I found you guys, and that will be me when I complete this project.

    parallel utility for load bank

    I guess I was unclear; I am not trying to get around the utility. The plant has failing loadbanks and are considering purchasing new, but someone said if we were paralleling with the utility we did not need to purchase the loadbanks just use the utility - is this islanding? I was asking for...

    parallel utility for load bank

    Can you explain how to do the procedures you have referenced and provide the Manufacturers part numbers for the components/equipment you recommend? The test procedure to use the utility load was to save money over buying load banks, so I can not use the salt water test, but it will be a good...

    parallel utility for load bank

    I hear a lot of people talk like the utility will not allow paralleling but at my company we have gotten approvals, but never used it. However, the people here believe too that the day we ask for it we will get "what did you say, or I can't hear you, or your are breaking up call back later...

    parallel utility for load bank

    I am working on an upgrade to sync 3 generators 2000kw each to an incoming utility with 4 feeders 4160v, the current system is not sync'd, and I want to use the utility instead of loadbanks for testing, can anyone tell me what will be needed?

    Run time error

    I get a run time error when I start AutoCAD using its own startup shortcut, but I can open a drawing using Windows Explorer, what does Windows Explorer do that AutoCAD does not, that allows me to start AutoCAD like this, and how do I fix it, can anyone help?

    500hp unloaded motor jerks on startup using soft start controller

    Thank you for responding to my query. Maybe I was not clear, this is a intermmittent problem where the motor does not start, and jerks (short partial turns like it is sticking or the controller is misfiring). The application is for a potable water pump station. The controllers are Cutler-Hammer...

    500hp unloaded motor jerks on startup using soft start controller

    Can anyone explain why a soft start controller would cause a motor to jerk on startup. We had the manufacturer of the motor test the power and noticed the amps go up to 3000A, and the sinewave amplitude rise above and fall zero as a whole.
