Anyone using their CAD software database link capabilities to other data sources?
Is there any tangabel benefits to go from simple CAD drawings using lines, circles, arcs, ect for drawings normally associated with electrical equipment installations and operations?
Are circuit analysis...
fb599, what you're describing is exactly my worst fears. I am a big computer enthusiast from way back. I know just how rapidly advances take place, where microprocessor are involved. I also know what made some computer mnfs. successful and other not so successful. What I hope to be able to...
ground cable to be 1' - 6" minimum below existing grade.
ground mat continuous under control cable trench.
gnd mat cable shall be placed the full length, on top, of the lateral duct bank and treminate at the end of the bank.
In other words, underground control cable are sandwiched between...
Is anyone using computer modeling for his or her protection systems? It is not unusual to find protection systems that have contacts that are called upon to break more current than rated to be able to break or a miss-operation due to sneak circuits. We use the PC based Bentley Micro-Station...
Thanks for all the input so far. Yes, we agree with all your suggestions. We have been evaluating different relay mnf's. product lines for a while and are planing on bringing in some of the ones mentioned above. Additionally; we want to go the next step and look at the whole cost; both...
Are there any other utility engineers responsible for finding ways to lower substation costs for 2003. I have been authorized/ordered to throw out our 100+ years of relay panel standards and start over with a clean sheet of paper on a new design for our relay, SCADA, and control panels to be...
Dual Trfs. allow offers the ability to automatically roll load to an alternate power source source within just a few cycles versus waiting for field repairs.
