    Overcurrent Relays - Tap Setting vs. Tap Range

    Thanks for the answers gentlemen. For the older style relays where several tap ranges are available, is there a difference in the characteristics (curves) of the same relay with different selected tap ranges? Or do they overlap over the values that the range is the same? I ask because I'm...

    Overcurrent Relays - Tap Setting vs. Tap Range

    Hi Everybody, I have a simple question regarding 50/51 overcurrent relays. I understand that these relays have both a tap range and a tap setting within that range. Some of these ranges however overlap, i.e. Tap range 1.5-6.0 & 4.0-16. My question is if I have a tap setting of 5, does it...

    Theoretical Motor vs. Actual Motor

    Hi Everybody! I have a contradiction between theoretical induction motors and actual induction motors I can't seem to wrap my head around. In theory, motor efficiency is characterized by 1-s where s is the motor slip, i.e. Pout = Pag(1-s), where Pag is the motor air gap. This implies that...

    EC&M Short Circuit Calculation Guide wrong???

    Thanks ijl! Great! now my calculation comes pretty close :) The reason I want to learn the manual calculation is so i can better understand the results and data input required for the software. Thanks again for the help!

    EC&M Short Circuit Calculation Guide wrong???

    Hi friends! I recently tracked down an EC&M article discussing the calculation of short circuit calculations using the p.u. They have the following for fault impedance calculation of: ZFault=(Zutility+ZT1)||ZMotor1||ZMotor2=(0.0021+j0.083+0.005+j0.07)||(0.49+j13.8)||(29.8+j298)=0.166+j2.817 pu...
