I will be working closely with the project leader hence I have set up this simple spreadsheet for the other team members to populate as requirements in order to get their part of the work done. I will be making lots of phone calls this week to arrange handover of information. Tomorrow is the...
Hi Guys,
I have only recently joined the company and this is one of the projects I am getting involved with from the inception. Ofcourse I am checking with our Info Services, dept. and even put something up on the intranet. It won't hurt to check how other people are doing this sort of thing...
Good day,
I need to collect data from munics, mines, utilities. The data could be in electronic and paper format. Is there a format of a sort of checklist that you guys use to ensure all necessary data is collected, from whom and by whom, basically tracking everything? This info will go into an...
HI All,
I am doing an electrical masterplan for a council and need to do a load forecast. At this stage I have historical load data i.e. maximum demands and will hopefully have a saturation value once the land use is finalised.
I am looking to develop an s-curve for the different supply points...
Hi,
Has anyone been able to do this successfully? I may be using PSS Sincal for a modelling a distribution network for a masterplan. However my client uses DIgSILENT Powerfactory and is expecting .dz casefiles.
DIgSILENT support suggests outputing a .raw file as was done with PSS/E. I have not...
HI Gents,
Thank-you for your inputs. Please check out the attached p.51 of the ABB Softstarter Handbook. Centrifugal pumps would draw up to 3.5 times Steadystate current. We are currently debating this issue in the office. Hopefully we will have consensus on Monday :-)
Enjoy the weekend &...
Hi,
The problem I have is that most of these motors are decades old. Nameplate data is not visible and some manufacturers don't exist anymore. There are no electrical single line diagrams as well.
We have decided to use a factor of 2 at this stage for soft-starters. Any idea of where I could...
The motors are pumps in a fresh water pump station which lifts water into a reservoir for a gravity feed to customers.
There are 3 motors of 55kW each fed from 400V. The start-up is generally staggered IIRC and thats the arrangement required from the client. All I have is a soft-starter model...
Good day,
I need to match a genset to motors with soft-starters on them. What would be a good estimate to use as a multiplier and what references can I base this on.
Regards,
