    Looped distrbution

    In this system the primaries of distribution transformers form a loop. The loop circuit start from the substation bus-bars, makes a loop through the areas to be served and returns to the substation. The circuit provides for quick restoration of service in the case of transformer or feeder fault...

    ATS incoming source 1 & 2 Designation

    Your last paragraph is the present situation of the connection of the two incomer feeder cable of our ATS. We used the emergency generator as normal “N” (preferred) power source-1 of ATS and we used the utility grid as emergency “E” (alternate) power source-2 of ATS base on facility existing...

    ATS incoming source 1 & 2 Designation

    Thanks waross, to describe more of my question in my first post, our local standard state that critical security system loads should be supplied by emergency power regardless of how emergency power is defined in NEC or IEEE. My question was if we swap the two feeders does it impact the existing...

    ATS incoming source 1 & 2 Designation

    This question is mainly in regards to consequences. I have a 480VAC open transition Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) to put in service soon; and I'm wondering what happens if we designate single ended 480V switchgear SG-002 fed from existing upstream generators as normal “N” (preferred) power...

    Derating factor for LV Cables - IEC

    Don't confuse the derating factor for multicore cables touching each other (as illustrated in your sketch) with the installation of multicore cables which are laid in several layers on the same tray, I mean does your standard in cable installation allows you to lay low voltage multicore cables...

    Cable Sizing NEC vs IEC

    1- Ampacity calculation and cable sizing can be as per NEC, or from the tables in IEEE 835, or IEC 60364, and IEC 60502-2. 2- Cable derating factors of ETAP or CYME can be use to calculate ampacities, as an alternative to the NEC, IEC or IEEE 835 tables. 3- Soil temperature is 40°C. The soil...
