    How to learn MV measurement diagrams

    Please send me some links, documentation with MV measurement . I am kind of confused when i see 2 ct-s, 3 ct-s, with 2 secondaries, 3 secondaries. Or 2 VT-s, 3 VT-s , in star, delta, etc... Thx.

    fuse supervision relay

    Well, relay coils in parallel, or voltage monitoring after fuse does not indicate if fuse have melted. It indicates voltage absence, as well. I found some solutions at Siba, Bussman- simple switches, and Jean Mueller- electronic relay...

    fuse supervision relay

    Thanks for reply. There are 2 models needed: 1: for 3 HRC fuses 40-100 A. Fuse monitor has 1 NO+1 NC contact, used in control. 400 V AC. 2. for 220 VDC fuse, 6 A, to protect control voltage in LV switchboard drawers. Fuse must be small, for example bottle type.

    fuse supervision relay

    Hi Can you give me some technical description of fuse supervision -(some relay or other method to monitorize fuse melting)? Also some models and manufacturers? Thanks.

    Multiple earth network

    Waross, you said: "The neutral must be free of intentional grounds between the neutral CT and the load. " No. Those groundings are all intentional. Those grounds are the problem, and the normal current(not fault current) will have the shown path in my drawing, i believe! So, the earth fault...

    Multiple earth network

    I add a little sketch.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=ee7afee8-af53-4e9c-986b-e15dcc14fe82&file=Multiple_Earthed_Neutral_UEF.pdf

    Multiple earth network

    Hi . For a multiple earthed network(the neutral wire is earthed at the powerhouse, at the point of supply to each consumer and at other points along the line between powerhouse and consumer), I have to use 3 p ACB, that's clear. But designer wants Ground fault. And CT on neutral. I know ground...

    LV neutral grounding in IEC standards

    I do not think there is a Standard that shows as mandatory using 5 wire cables(or 3 wire in case of 1phase loads). You can use 3p+N cables, and connect PE from grounding system of building, with steel band.

    Standard illuminance

    No, IEC standards govern, and local codes from Romania.

    Standard illuminance

    Do you know the standard value of illuminance inside an auto repair workhouse? And which IEC standard shows illuminance values? Thx.

    Short time withstand current- more than one trafo

    Hi Does anyone know what is the short time withstand current of the bars fed by 2, 3, or 4 transformers, let's say 630 KVA Uk=6%? If the Icw(1 sec)= 15 KA for bars fed by 1 transformer, for 2 transformers Icw(1 sec)= 2x15KA , for 3 transformers is 3x 15=45 KA? Is this the rule? Thanks.

    How to recognize phase A?

    Back to topic: So: There is no method to find which one is A? Just to trace the phases all way back to generator. And more: it doesn't matter which one is A. If u have to connect 2 circuits, just to be sure that there is no phase difference between them. I have found something, but it is too...

    How to recognize phase A?

    Great. I measure all 3 voltages. And i will have voltage information. But how do you measure which is A?

    How to recognize phase A?

    Hi I am disputing with a colleague: I say : Phase "A" exists. every 3-phase system has a phase "A" He says: Phase "A" is random. Important is just the rotation ABC, or BAC. You cant determine which is A. I believe: every circuit has a phase A, that can be measured, and labeled as A. If there...

    86 protection

    Slava, 86 relay sends "Open" command? I thought it sends "NO close until reset" command? Regards
