He argued that between any (2) earth electrodes the resistance of the earth resistance would be (depending on the soil)1000s of OHMs. I disagree. I argued that most of the resistance would occur around the areas immediately...

    Paralleling MV Generators

    dpc What you had to say makes alot of sense to me. A big reason most of my collegues are reluctant to institute LRGs is simply becuase we have never experienced a problem running an ungrounded system. However, eventually a ground fault will occur. I think I could sell the LRG on the basis of...

    Paralleling MV Generators

    Our whole system is known as the Deployable Power Generation and Distribution system (DPGDS). It is used for primarily for military applications. The generator units are rated at 920KW. Typically we will parallel up to 4 of these generators (depending on the load). The units come with a Primary...

    Paralleling MV Generators

    We have MV generators that distribute at 4160V.For plant operations the generators are connected to a common bus. Up to (4) feeders originate from this common bus through SF6 switches that provide overcurrent protection. The generators have a nuetral tap that can be bonded to ground but...
