    Is there a way to monitor the position of open blade outdoor 15kV air switches?

    As per one of the previous replies, use voltage sensing to confirm switch position. Easy to integrate into SCADA.

    Earth Leakage Protection on VSD installation

    @ LiteYear. Thank you for your reply. much appreciated. We are based in South Africa. We have already recognised the problem with regards to the higher frequency fault currents and that is why I am curious to know about these protection devices. We are also aware of the Low impedance earth...

    Earth Leakage Protection on VSD installation

    Does anybody have experience with regards to the use of earth leakage protection devices in a VSD installation. We are using a resistance grounding system (IT-system) on our MCCs and need to use Earth Leakage protection on all feeders from the MCC. With the VSD installations, however, we have...

    Motor current, when drive in sensorless vector and scalar mode

    Are all the other parameters set correctly i.e Min Speed for instance. Sometimes we overlook the stupid things.

    Newbie with AC motor

    I don't know how high-tech you want the project or if it only for testing. Try a light dimmer to control the speed of the motor if it is only for testing

    low votlage ground fault testing

    It sounds as if you are using M&G Masterpacts. I know these breakers have an external test facility.(Plug in unit). I don't know if it will help if you disconnect the shunt trip on the breaker for the test (Dangerous when in cct). Maybe an investigation into the breaker workings can help. I...

    Magnetisation Current Calculation

    The current that you gave is the infinite bus Fault Current calculated by I = (VA/(Sq3 * Vp))/Z The Magnetising Current is the current to overcome the No-Load losses in the Transformer.

    automobile starter motors

    How about using a generator from an older vechicle. Should that not work better than a starter motor. OR even a wiper motor with the gearbox.

    Determining CT ratio

    Usually in Switchgear they put the CT rating plates inside the cubicle, behind the test block, against the back wall because the CTs are hidden away at the back.
