I gave the load and the rate difference, but I'm not looking for a complete analysis of my situation anyway...
I was merely looking for thoughts and experiences about going primary. I have heard from more than one source that there is a "5MW rule" (At least at that level of load primary usually...
Yes but 1.5%-2% of a relatively continouus 1500kW load can add up to a bit of money in a year.
We could get a $0.003/kWh deduct for going primary, but my understanding is the incentive usually accounts for the transformer losses that are now on the customer, not leaving much if anything for the...
Does it really pay to go primary?
You get a better rate, but now you maintain and replace the transformers...and now have to account for transformer losses...
Unless you directly utilize medium voltage, it seems that primary doesn't make sense once you factor in transformer losses bringing...
What’s the medium or long answer? :-)
It appears to be do-able from looking at OSHA 1910.333(a)(1) & 1910.333(a)(1) if I have qualified people and proper techniques, tools, etc.
I was curious if anyone had direct experience with this issue. We will likely require de-energizing first as a rule...
Does a fixture need to be de-energized merely to replace a lamp? (assume HID hi-bay for now)
Is de-energization only applicable if the the work would involve exposing live conductors?...such as in a ballast replacement, etc...
So if a utility feeds a building with one main transformer serving all resistive loads, the utility will “see” an overall load at near unity pf? Even though it feeds this inductive transformer?
The reason I ask is that two of the bigger claimed contributors to low power factor is motors and...
How is "primary power factor" affected by secondary (load) power factor?
Example: Power transformer with purely resistive load vs. all inductive load – say 0.8pf (What is pf seen by upstream distribution?)
Does pf vary/depend on the % loading of transformer?
Does pf vary/depend on the size of...
