    IEC v ANSI Low Voltage Circuit Breaker Short Circuit Ratings

    gardengnome747, Thanks for your information. Kiribanda and veritas, Thanks for your opinion. I agree to select by Ics. It's safer selection. However, have any guide or practice to highlight how to select CB according to Icu/Ics? Please advise, if any. Thanks again.

    IEC v ANSI Low Voltage Circuit Breaker Short Circuit Ratings

    Dear All, There is a question I wonder to know how select the breaker. It assumed already have the calculated fault current by SKM. Which do I select the Icu or Ics accordingly? For example, the said calculated value is 42kA @480V InitSymRMS 3P. IEC breaker rating Icu/Ics = 50kA/38kA @500V...

    Harmonic current direction

    7anoter4 and electricpete, Thanks for your excellent opinion. I also think that triplen harmonic current flow under a loop condition. Again, please advise how to get the magnitude of neutral current under unbalance condition? Should include triplen harmonic and unbalance current? Regards,

    Harmonic current direction

    Hi, I find an image in the website accidently about the harmonic issue. This image mark the direction of triple order harmonic. So, I curious and wonder to know their direction if lost the neutral line or add grounding wire. Please find the five(5) schematic as attached and advise these...

    Three-winding transformer damage curve

    Thanks for your reply from Evergreen1231 and cranky108. The tertiary winding is also Wye connection. I wonder which damage curve of winding should be concerned? Secondary winding? Tertiary winding?

    Three-winding transformer damage curve

    Dear all, There is a three-winding transformer rated: 345/13.8/6.9 kV transformer; 92/54.5/37.5 MVA The impedance percentage of PS/PT/ST is 16/13/1.9%. Please advise how to draw its damage curve? What is the difference between the 2 winding and 3 winding transformer? Thanks for your help in...
