    Fiberglass Conduit

    The IEC Standard 60287-1-1 chapter 1.4.2 Buried cables where partial drying-out of the soil occurs presents the calculation in the case when the soil is drying around a power cable run underground directly buried in the soil. There is different study to state the critical temperature in...

    Fiberglass Conduit

    It is very interesting how each part of the heat evacuation way reacts on variable heat load, indeed. All the known cable ampacity calculation standards consider steady state load-as far as I know. However, in order to provide a good protection of power cables there are standards which present a...

    Step-up transformer = Star-grounded LV / Star-grounded HV. How to calculate EPR?

    I agree with cherryg. The short-circuit current which does EPR rise it is only medium voltage current, since the low voltage current flows only through the grounding grid. The EPR =Iearth*Zgrounding So, the standard it is not IEC-60364-1 but EN 50522.

    Fiberglass Conduit

    According to Neher&McGrath Table VII Constants for Use in Equations 41 and 41(A) [for cables temperature rise in a pipe-duct or conduit- calculations] it is not a big difference between metallic and fiber pipes. However, the thermal resistance [see Table VI Thermal Resistivity of Various...

    Can someone guide me on how to determine the influence of substation GPR on a nearby pipeline?

    If no OHLine is close then the GPR fades exponential with the distance.See, for instance, the attached table from ENA EREC S34 Vx=ρI/(2.pi().r).arcsin(r/x) Formula P6.3 [Annex B]

    Directly from 30 kV to 0.4 kV? Or step down the voltage in stages, typically from 30 kV to 6 kV, then from 6 kV to 0.4 kV.

    In a power station of 700 MW coal fired steam turbine where the most of equipment Is of 1 to 20 MW rated power-see the boiler air draft fan, for instance- the main auxiliary distribution is 6 or 10 kV and not the low voltage [0.4-0.48-0.690] so you have here 6 kV already. But, if you have to...

    UHV/EHV Cables in aerial rack distance to Coke/Blast Furnace Gas

    You said: The main goal is to calculate the minimum distance between UHV/EHV cables and that pipe. If the transmission line goes parallel with the pipeline, induced voltages and currents are present in the pipe. There is a book[EL-904-V1+V2] as a result of the collaboration of EPRI [Electric...

    UHV/EHV Cables in aerial rack distance to Coke/Blast Furnace Gas

    The gas resulting from the melting process may be conveyed to another place to be used. For a power station gas turbine [fuel], for instance. No power cable should be above the gas conduit. On the Blast Furnace Complex, where I was, 110 kV cables ran underground. See NFPA 850 7.2 Fuel Handling —...

    UHV/EHV Cables in aerial rack distance to Coke/Blast Furnace Gas

    Usually, the coke used in a Blast Furnace is conveyed as solid particles of 100-200 grams from the storage to the highest level of the blast furnace and introduced from here together with the ore and other materials through open conveyors. If the cables are insulated, shielded, and grounded, no...

    Experience with Subterranean Transmission Lines (161kV+)

    Around 1970, I was a young engineer in a vast Siderurgica [steel manufacturing] complex. I was responsible for 110 and 10 kV distribution maintenance [with some 130 technicians, most of them]. The complex contained 4 blast furnaces, a steel plant, and 4 thick sheet metal rolling mills [and many...

    NEC art.503.10 for wiring above coke field. NESC Rule 234. Clearance of wires, conductors, cables, and equipment from buildings, bridges, rail cars, swimming pools, and other installations However Jpascp said: Is there any standard that refers to the minimum distance between UHV/EHV Cables and...

    L-G Fault Zero Sequence Current in un-faulted phases

    If we follow, for instance, IEC 60909-0 the short-circuit current is: 4.2 Initial symmetrical short-circuit current I”k I"k=sqrt(3)*c*Un/(Z1+Z2+Zo) For a far-from-generator short circuit , the absolute value is calculated by: I"k=sqrt(3)*c*Un/(2*Z1+Zo) That means if the short-circuit is phase A...

    Cable bus sequence values

    In my opinion, it is like the transmission line parameter calculation where inductance Lx=2/10^7*ln(GMD/GMRx) H/m For imperial units, see -for instance: LINE&CABLE PARAMETER CALCULATION
