I'm using ETAP underground design latest version. If I have two duck banks, one has a layer of fluidized thermal backfill, and the other doesn't, why are they coming out at the same temperatures? See attached.
in this example, Concrete RHO=30
FTP RHO = 40
Earth RHO = 200

ScottyUK the UPS option was remove because of cost. A 480V 3/P UPS that is large enough to start the motors is about 26K. had about 3 manufactures price this for me
mikekilroy: great point! I am looking at a price point of between 1k-and 2k each for the first 500 units.

there is not enough inertia to get the CFM I need.(@14 seconds i only have about 25% of the CFM i need) that was my first and most obvious path. next i tried to see if i could increase the rotating mass of the fans... for various reason this did not work. then i thought i could add more fans...
Battery's in series is not an issue for me. VD is not an issue. just need to find a VFD that will do this with no power on primary AC Bus. perhaps i'm posting the the wrong place. really need a VFD expert.
I have a 480V 3 phase fan motor (<5HP) that i want to keep running for 14 seconds once the power it cut off. is it possible to connect a string of batteries to the DC bus of the VFD that will keep the DC bus energized in the event of a power outage? the DC bus would also have to keep the...
One of the biggest misunderstanding about RHO is that engineers get the soil tested and then say " look it is X Rho In-situ lets use X RHO" good paper here on this. http://www.neher-mcgrath.com/41/neher-mcgrath_FAQ.html
Reality is present RHO is no guarantee of future RHO, The real truth is...
55 is not a safe number to use any more than 90 is a safe number for earth. We have concrete tested and it the RHO can range from 45-90.

great info thanks all. but my main area of concern is copper and aluminum bus bars that are inside electrical switchgear.
again thanks

Hello I am looking for information on the off-gassing or out-gassing (I have seen both terms used) of Electrical PVC conduit at various temperatures. Is this information available??
