There is one way of getting it from ABB itself. Ask for "reference list" for the 670 series relay of your interest complete with authentic "customer feedback" from utilities already using them. There are some relays supplied to the 400kV and 132kV networks in UAE for utilities such as FEWA...
TM is a trade mark that is not yet registered.
R in a circle denotes a registered trade mark.
A service mark is a trademark applied to a service, whereas a trademark is applied to a product.

Electic,
SA are replaced based on following criteria in most networks:
1. When the Continuous / Steady State Leakage current as measured in the leakage current meter is 4/6/8/10 times the value at commissioning instant
2. More than twice the number of discharges in any specific period, as per...
Hi,
Found on the nameplate of a CT (Gas Insulated Switchgear of Japanese make):
CT Ratio – 2500/1 A
Turns ratio – 1/2500
Accuracy class – 0.03X700R6
Can you please explain this accuracy class? I guess, CT class is X and 0.03A is mag current at knee point voltage 700V and winding resistance...
Client's specification calls for soil resistivity to be measured before and after backfilling if the thickness of back-fill exceeds 1m. Wonder why this should be done!? [ponder]
Does this have any reference to IEEE 80 / 81? I am working is IEC area.
Thanks in advance!
If there is a separate...
Dear RRN,
Free convection air current is taken as 0.2-0.5ft/sec. All formulae for Convectively dissipated Watts are applicable only above "these" air current values (- look for specific formula for application). Standstill air cannot dissipate convective heat, by logic! Your Wc will be zero, if...
Client's specification calls for two (2nos) Wiping Contacts as part of the Auxiliary Switch Contacts of a 11kV Sw Gr Breaker. It also calls for "slow closing device". Can some one help me with what purpose do these serve?
thanks in anticipation!
Dear MissMe,
Hers is a brief on the curve. See the reference to one mains cycle of 20ms meaning the graph is equally applicable to 50Hz systems!
best regards,
The Information Technology Industry Council (ITIC) curve, formerly known as the Computer and Business Equipment manufacturers...
Dear electromott,
REF is about balancing the residual current of the phase CTs against the current of neutral CT. As one approaches the distribution level, the current transformer ratios become 'numerically' higher leading to 'less effective' translation of current changes/unbalances. At the...
Dear PowerfulStuff,
Following extract from an article makes a point -
Determination of the probable condition of today’s operating, and somewhat aged, power transformers is a complex and arduous exercise. This requires a rigorous methodology in order to benchmark and rank the units on any...
Dear PowerfulStuff,
Are you looking for data in the form of
<<Unit Size-No of Units-Forced Outage Rate-MTTF-MTTR-Scheduled Maintenance wks/year-Loading pattern(daily/weekly/yearly)>>?
MTTF: Mean Time To Failure
MTTR: Mean Time To Repair
FOR: (MTTR)/(MTTR+MTTF)
Not that I have the figures readily...
Dear Kiribanda,
Suggested reading - Article 2.6.3(c) from Van Warrington's Volume 2: Protective Relays - Their Theory and Practice.
For a project in the erstwhile SCECO(E) - Saudi Consolidated Electric Company in the Eastern Province, I was asked to do a complete application check on the usage...
