I think I already know the answer to this, but I will ask anyway.
A substation with a 10MVA 138KV/4160V Delta Wye transformer feeds our facility. The power company is planning to install a neutral grounding resistor during our next shutdown.
Here is where my question comes in. The...
I have never run into this scenario before so I thought I would double check:
I have a 2400V service that feeds a Delta Delta 2000KVA 2400V/12470V step up transformer that is connected in series directly to a Delta Wye 1500KVA 12470/4160V transformer (This was done this way due to transformer...
Here is the scenario:
There is a substation outside our gas facility (approximately 800'). We are running a set of conductors (6 -750MCM per phase underground) from a dedicated substation breaker to the main switchgear at the gas plant (MLO). This is the only connection to the substation from...
DickDV: I am not sure why you need to size the VFD for no less than 150% of the motor FLA? I have used 3000HP drives to start 6000HP reciprocating compressors. Obviously you can't load the compressors, but for motor starting the drive rated current actually can be ~40 - 50% of the FLA of the...
In the last year I have been involved with the install of 4 4000HP Siemens air cooled drives and I am currently installing 4 more. Siemens recommends about 15Tons of HVAC for every 1000HP if you are exhausting directly into the building. We chose to actually build ducts into the building for the...
