    Why use a buses when connecting a DFIG machine to a voltage source (grid)?

    In your example the "B1" and "B_stator" are not buses. They are three phase current and voltage metering blocks which are probably re-scaled to save some space.

    Zigzag transformer calculation

    Hi Slavag, Sorry it is getting late, the earlier post only shows the faulted bus currents and their RMS, I forget to attach the plots from the winding currents. http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=9b0ac6e7-2443-4357-a9fa-870238056ea8&file=Zig_Zag_Transformer_Currents_.pdf

    Zigzag transformer calculation

    Hi Slavag, The attached file shows the phase (winding) currents and the neutral current when there is a bolted fault on the phase A (24 kV supply).http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=5e2ef44c-86e7-4c28-a832-c84170f25df2&file=Zig_Zag_Transformer_Currents_.pdf

    Measuring DC voltage, current and power mean values witin AC/DC system

    Your model is wrong: 1.) You should use Thyristor bridges instead of IGBT bridges when you using a pulse 12 pulse generator. (GenPulsos1) 2.) Use the ”MedicionR” block is only for AC power. 3.) Use a “mean value” block to smooth the DC Current and voltage before the DC power calculation.

    Standard Cable Sizes

    Additionally the factor a (7)sqrt(10) = 1.39 is also used e.g. 25mm^2*1.39 = 35 mm^2 ; 50mm^2*1.39 =70mm^2; etc.

    Standard Cable Sizes

    The geometric series factor for IEC cables are calculated as: (5)sqrt(10) = 1.585 where the numbers rounded off

    Help with IEC Util. Category AC-3 description

    ScottyUK, The following excerpt from IEC 947-4-1 "5.3.5.5 Starting and stopping characteristics of starters c) one direction of rotation, or two directions of rotation as in item b), but with the possibility of infrequent inching (jogging). For this service condition, direct-on-line starters...

    Help with IEC Util. Category AC-3 description

    Occasional inching and plugging could be the reason.

    Help with IEC Util. Category AC-3 description

    jraef I think it means that the motor is still rotating and the motor terminal voltage is approx 20% of the line voltage due to the trappad flux in the rotor circuit.

    Siemens-Allis thyristor drive

    Gunnar, My background is also with ASEA. Sorry but I did not realize that you know DC converters.

    Siemens-Allis thyristor drive

    Gunnar, 1. Using an insulated oscilloscope or high voltage differential probes check first that that the control (synchronizing) voltage is in phase with the bridge voltage. 2. Check the alpha and beta limit (the rectifier and inverter limit) of the control. The easiest way to do it not...

    Fault Current Calculation

    To calculate the X/R ratio from the peak and Rms current check the IEEE 242 -2001 chapter 2.4 (eq. 2-3)

    Failure of Power Factor Correction Capacitors

    Asymptote, The parallel resonance frequency of your system can be estimated by the following formula n = sqrt(Ssc/Qcap) Based on the given data I calculated the approximately 144 MVA short circuit power @ the 6.6 kV bus Therefore in your case n = sqrt(144/0.4) =sqrt(360) = 1439 Hz which is...

    DC motor speed control with PID.

    Use a PI regulator instead of PID, it will improve your speed control stability, the D part of the controller is not very suitable for speed control application. If you looking for a very accurate and tight speed control your current controller response time has to be 6-8 times faster than a...

    Simultaneous 4kV Motor Failures

    The failures happened during start up or the system was running? If it happened switching do, you have a vacuum breaker or switch and three-phase cable feed from the switchgear to motors?
