Thanks all for your valuable feedback.
Mbrooke,
Does the utility just lay power cable on the ground if the cable has concentric ground and proper ground monitoring protective device. If so then i can implement that in my application. We typically use STARTCO relays for Ground monitoring...
Hello All,
I have a question regarding the regulations over using a Medium Voltage cable (4160V or 7200V) installed by just running above ground(Not direct buried or concrete)
For our project of dewatering the pit(Yes we are a mining company) we are considering options to supply a barge which...
@Gragas: Thank you much for your valuable feedback. Will follow up with your suggestions.
@86ed: We have already written the contract in such a way to levi monetary fines on payments if they dont meet the installation timeline. What i am worried is that even then we levi fines, that is only a...
@zogzog - No The lineup was old and with Air insulated Circuit Breakers. Maintenance cost was high and reliability was low. Hence opted to go with a new gear.
@VTER - We have already hired a EPC contractor and termed the project to be a turn key project. Hence they are supposed to do all this...
Hello All,
We are planning to change our old lineup of switchgear to new Arc Flash switchgear next year shutdown at our company. The gear is already in order and in production. We hope that it will be ready by June which is when we have our next shutdown. Right now we have 12 days to complete...
Thanks for the reply mgtrp but I am still not getting it.
Even if i connect the multiplex transformer phase-phase i can only go between 2 phases. Hence there is going to be an unbalance right. Wouldnt that current be flowing in the neutral? Am i missing something here??

Hello All,
Please see the attached photo of a transfer switch which is used in a portable conveyor system. This switch is used to supply power either from a 13.8KV/480 V transformer or a 480V Generator.
The problem we have been having with this transfer switch is that it shows high temperature...
I am yet to receive the report from the gearbox company but according to what i heard from the phone conversations, it has got substantial damage and has to be repaired..
All,
Thank you so much for very useful insight you all have provided in this topic.
Based on all the reply's i am intending to incline that Hipot and Surge testing is the end user's option. Having said that, on my particular situation, dont you all agree that having the hipot test and surge...
I searched for this topic on this forum and did find some topics discussing this. But none answered me straight if Baker testing is destructive or non destructive.
I do not have a problem with coil resistance test and Meg ohm test. I know they are not destructive as the voltage level do not...
Bill,
I understand that its a out of phase sync issue and so the loading of 500KW is not the influencing factor. But, it is hard for me to disregard that if that machine were to be running at 15MW then, it should have got to have more torque on that shaft. So when the out of sync condition...
Hello Everybody,
Just thought of giving an update on the findings of the inspection test performed for the benefit of those who are curious...
The stator looked fine... the end windings were all normal and were spared....
But one of our rotor windings was shorted. Further more to our agony...
