    ASME Y14.100 PINS & Material List

    Trying to understand the intent of the standard and how to reference or correlate part numbers and specifications within the Material List. Traditionally for a Material List I've seen column headings of: Item, Qty, Cage Code, Dwg/Part Number, Description, Specification. In the Mil-environment...

    What does this mean...anything?

    I'm somewhat unfamiliar with the process below and am not sure what it really means or if it is even correct. 3Hp motor; 3Ph; 415V; 84%Eff; 0.8pf The problem started by: (3Hp * 0.7457 * 0.8pf)/(415V * sqrt(3) * 0.84) = 3.0A [Active] (3Hp * 0.7457 * sqrt(1-0.8^2))/(415V * sqrt(3) * 0.84) =...

    Real / Reactive Current

    I'm trying to understand Active/Reactive/Apparent ampacities. A 415V3Ph 15kW load with 0.8pf, the Active Current : 15,000/(415*1.732*0.8) = 26A. How would I calculate the Reactive Current? Would the Reactive Current be calculated : 15,000/(415*1.732*sqrt(1-pf^2)) = 35A. The resultant...

    3 Phase Power - Unbalanced Loads

    Hypothetical Question...I have a delta wired three phase power panel with a series of single phase loads that total 100kVA phAB, 200kVA phBC, 300kva phCA. How do I determine the resultant 3 phase load and the equivalent generator needed to supply the panel? There was a rule of thumb method...
