Hi All,
One more question on this. Could someone clarify for me the meaning of LRC(DOL) and LRC(SD) on the attached Brook Crompton motor datasheet? I think LRC(DOL) is Locked Rotor Current direct online. I am not sure of the other. An explanation would be appreciated. What is the difference...
Great! It sounds like the consensus would be to use a soft starter. However, the chipper we are working with does have a very high inertia. Taking this into account it sounds like the VFD may still be an option despite the higher cost.
Hi Guys,
Thank you for the responses. djs is it definitely the 526 Amps that should be used for sizing the VFD. Surely it will not draw anywhere near this if the startup is controlled.
Thanks ALL
Dear Sirs,
I am having a little bit of difficulty understanding the datasheet, which is attached, for a 315kW BROOK Crompton Motor. Specifically, I could use some help understanding the significance of the current values. Is the 526.2 Amps (labeled Amps Ia @ 400V) the locked rotor current...
Dear Sirs,
I have an XLPE submarine cable with the following characteristics:
Cable Vn (kV) In(A) Rac(Ω/Km) L (mH/Km) C (μF/Km)
150 1088 0.0205 0.352 0.233
Using the parameters above can someone demonstrate how to calculate the reactive current in the cable in A/km and...
Matlab script related to the above post is attached here. http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=7470d14f-8224-45dc-b4ce-9267c3323600&file=Electric_impedance_and_capacity_parameters_programm_for_radial_field.docx
Dear All
I am building a simulation model using the Simpowersytems toolbox within Matlab Simulink. I would like to model a 20km XLPE underground cable using the distributed parameters cable model contained within Simpowersystems. The cable is 3 phase and contains three conductors in a trefoil...
Hi guys
Thank you for your responses. PRC I think you have managed to identify what I was looking for. Your example of a combined cycle thermal power plant where the gas turbine and steam turbine generators feed one transformer with two primaries having different voltages and different MVA...
Dear Sirs,
I was wondering if it would be possible to have a transformer with multiple primary windings that would allow two different voltages (lets say 11kV and 6.6kV) to be connected on the primary side. There would then be a single output on the secondary side of 33kV.
Presumably you...
Thanks for the resposes guys. Collies99 your response confirms what I initially though. The PF at the receiving end will essentially depend on the characteristics of the load (though as highlighted by bacon4life the problem is somewhat more complex in the case of a wind farm).
Out of interest...
Dear Sirs
I am trying to do a calculation relating to the connection of a 3.6 MW offshore wind-farm to shore via a 9km long subsea cable. The scenario is as follows and is taken from an example in a text book (page 236 Example 10.5 of the attached PDF):
A three phase XLPE subsea cable...
Hi Guys
Firstly thank you for to ScottyUK for the link to the paper.
cswilson i worked through the same calculation that you have done and came to the same conclusion. So i think you are correct. Although possibly someone could verify it for us.
98V(rms)/Krpm
98/1000 = 0.098V(rms)/rpm

Hi ScottyUk.
I am not feeding the servo with DC. We have a motor/generator rig setup. Wereaby one of the motors is used as a generator that is driven by the other motor. It is the generator side that is being fed through a rectifier. I could give a full description of why we are doing this...
I am working with a DSPACE unit and i need the code inrunning in Matlab so that i can trasfer it onto the DSPACE. I apologise ther is a small error in the initial post above. This might be clearer:
function [AC_Contactor,DC_Contactor,AC_Precharge,DC_Precharge,X] =...
Hi All
I am using the embedded Matlab function block to write some code for a state machine. Within the block i have the following code:
function [AC_Contactor,DC_Contactor,AC_Precharge,DC_Precharge,X] = V_ctrl_AC(B1,DC_Voltage_Ref,DC_Link_Voltage)
AC_Contactor=0; DC_Contactor=0...
