Extension of 5,5 k V panel
Extension of 5,5 k V panel
(OP)
Hi,
I am actually working in Africa and I am facing with an issue that I need to address urgently. We have a problem with a 1 MW 400 V electric motor and the time for repairs is too long ( nearly two months )for us to wait. We have got at hand a 1 MW 5,5 k V motor. The 5,5 k V cell could be extended without any problem and one spare cell complete with protection relay, CTs is readily available. The starting issue is not a problem as the network is very big > 25 MW. Is there any issue that need to be addressed viz short-circuit level etc. ?
Many thanks for any help.
