    Robicon Power Cell pre-charge circuit?

    Not really a confirmation, but in patent US6087738 Variable output three-phase transformer Robicon claims that the main benefit of their invention is to achieve more precise control of motor starting voltage, so in IMO this would be a viable solution to limit dc cap inrush current. Appears to...

    running an executable in matlab

    Try: Check that t012rin is in your matlab work directory (or path) >> ! t012rin "test.t01" >> ! "t012rin test.t01" >> dos('t012rin test.t01') Rewrite the batch file as a Matlab script Good luck!

    Why DC offset in fault currents?

    Interesting discussion, I think all posters have provided good explanations, Homer has possibly nailed it but I would nevertheless like to give my explanation. I have to use some equations but the explanation is IMO simple and it is a slightly different approach compared to previous posters...

    LT Spice generating a repetitive signal

    I found this in the above LTSPICE forum, from "Rick". Apparently, pwl has a hidden file option: A pwl (piece wise linear) file should work for this. Place a voltage or current source on the schematic. Then put the cursor over the source and the press Ctrl right click. Now in the value field...

    LT Spice generating a repetitive signal

    Sorry, can't help you on that one but are you aware of http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/LTspice/ ? You need to register and you need a Yahoo account but it's a good forum.

    Reactor Installation

    Well, if you look at fig 12.5 in ftp://ftp.elteknik.chalmers.se/Publications/PhD/SalinasEnerPhD.pdf you'll see that they shielded a couple of transformers, no reactors though as fas as I can tell but I have honestly not really read it in detail. That, and some other actions, appeared to work...

    Reactor Installation

    I would respectfully say that mr waruss is right, the screen is due to induced eddy currents. Please see fig 6 in this paper http://www.emc.york.ac.uk/cost261/Lille%20proceedings/Enerpaper.pdf . To my knowledge, this technique is occasionally applied to screen substations installed in or near...

    capacitor bank arrangement

    EDIT: I now see that the OP mentions that it is indeed a double ungrounded wye bank.

    capacitor bank arrangement

    144x: Are you referring to a grounded single star bank or an ungrounded double star (wye) bank. If it is a single bank, then I agree with elektroeng but in case of a double bank the CT may actually be able to detect unbalance. However, there may be other unbalance protection relay installed that...
