    200A Fuse in a 400A FDS

    It may be a bit embarrassed asking this question, but this is where engineering meets real life questions IMO. Is this 200A fuse allowed to be installed in the shown 400A FDS or are fuse reducers required (Eaton Part # J-42)?

    Tap motor circuits without Dedicated Short Circuit Protection

    We have a vendor who is supplying an integrated motor control cabinet on a piece of equipment. The motor is a 480V, 250HP motor. Down stream of the main CB, the vendor is tapping the power cables between the CB and the 250HP motor contactors to supply 2 small fan motors, a 3HP and a 7.5HP...

    15KV Switchgear Estimates

    Can anyone offer a website or point me in the direction on some estimated costs for 15KV Switchgear costs? We're likely spec 15KV metal-clad outdoor with common BIL and KAIC ratings. Just need to put together a quick high level estimate and don't need to bother vendors at this point. I was...

    Hmm Two Phase into Three Phase

    Thank you all for your support. You guys are all making sense and I agree it's now a single phase system. Now it's up to us to try to get PECO to admit to it. In the end and if it's too much hassle, we may look into a static converter but I'm not sure that'll work as the HVAC likely has both...

    Hmm Two Phase into Three Phase

    Thank you for the support. FacEngPE - The input voltage were 242,239,237 as expected. Argotier - Thanks for the diagram. That totally makes sense. Here's a sketch of some of the other values.

    Hmm Two Phase into Three Phase

    The second picture is the wiring diagram that was on the failed unit (original) that worked for years. And yes, it is a 5 wire system. Thank you guys. EDIT: I assumed it was a 5-wire system, but now that I think about it, I only saw 4 wires in the fuse box, I would have to imagine there is...

    Hmm Two Phase into Three Phase

    We have a customer in Philly who currently has an old 2 Phase system (which history tells me has a phase shift of 90 Deg). These systems used to be popular in Philly and still existing in some areas. For years, the customer had what appears to be a single phase buck-boost transformer to turn...

    Guy Wire Design Software

    Hope everyone is staying well. Looking for software to assist in guy wire calculations for power poles with OH lines? Any suggestions?

    Trenwall Pre-Cast Cable Raceway/Trench and Cable Ampacity

    Thx 7anoter4. I appreciate it. I didn't know if there was an easy way for not. Open cover might be an idea, just worried about truck traffic and dirt as this is a dirt road. The only way I think the correct de-rating factor might be able to be calculated would be via the SKM module or...

    Trenwall Pre-Cast Cable Raceway/Trench and Cable Ampacity

    Thanks 7anoter4. But Table 310.15(B)(3)(a) is required to be taken into account, as all references in the NFPA 70 for conductor ampacities for 1/C or 3/C. This is why the table is entitled "...More Than 3..." Since there 4 current carrying conductors we need to de-rate the cable by at least...

    Trenwall Pre-Cast Cable Raceway/Trench and Cable Ampacity

    Per the sketch below, can someone confirm these cables only need a 0.80 de-rating factor (Table 310.15(B)(3)(a) since there are 4 carrying conductors per cable (DC application, 2-1500V+ and 2-1500V -) as long as 1" cable diameters are spaced at 1" intervals via intermittent plastic cable...

    35KV Cable Installation Cost Comparison

    Lets assume 35KV aerial is available on nearby road and load is approx 450 feet away.

    35KV Cable Installation Cost Comparison

    Thx dpc. I knew it was more expensive, but never thought 10x, although I can understand why. It's also likely based off of distance. I'm basically looking at a small 200 foot run and the client is looking for a price to go U/G. More of a cosmetic decision.

    35KV Cable Installation Cost Comparison

    Does anyone know of a spreadsheet or website to compare the difference in price for different installation practices for MV power cable? Looking to compare ACSR, Direct Bury and underground ductbank.

    Manufacturers of 4KV Synchronous Motor?

    Thank you both.

    Manufacturers of 4KV Synchronous Motor?

    We have an application where we need to replace an older synchronous motor with a 4KV, 1250HP, 8P replacement synchronous motor. I would prefer to replace it with a VFD and SC motor, but unfortunately, this is not an option. Who, besides TECO Westinghouse, still manufacturers these relatively...

    Pricing - Rules of Thumb - MV/LV Switchgear

    Does anyone have a recommended website, rule of thumb when pricing namebrand MV Switchgear (CBs and E-2) and/or LV Switchgear? Trying to put together some pricing estimates from local suppliers and prices appear to vary significantly until the final contact will be negotiated. Anyone know of a...

    Power Equipment Information

    Can anyone recommend either a publication or website that gives broad overall information on power equipment such as switchgear, power transformer, etc. I routinely need weights, or dimensions. I used to have a Siemens Power Engineering Guide (4th edition?) but have recently misplaced it. It...
