    Non-utility Generation

    The University of Wisconsin in Madison is having a conference entitled "Interconnecting Distributed Generation to Utility Distribution Systems." I imagine that it can apply to utility-owned and non-utility-owned generators. The dates are April 9-11, 2001, and the cost is $1195. Contact...

    Home audio question

    I hope it's OK to post a personal question as opposed to a business one. I just got a CD player for my home stereo system. I'm out of inputs on my receiver. Can I use RCA Y cables to connect both my VCR and my CD player to the AUX input of the receiver? My concern is will the output of one...

    Is This True?

    Sorry, peterb. My eyes skipped over the word "drop" in your response. I see we do agree on the voltage issue.

    Is This True?

    Jbartos and peterb are correct in that KWh meters mesure KWh, only. In fact, utility companies test their meters a .5 PF to make sure that they are unaffected by KVARs. I disagree with peterb on one point, though. Adding capacitors to an inductive load will actually raise the voltage at the...

    corner grounded delta.

    Since the corner of the 139/240 volt delta was grounded, the neutral of the low-wye would be at 139 (or in your case 137) volts to ground. You can remove the strap between the neutral bus bar and the generator frame (trailer) ground and then ground the generator frame. Caution!: Some people may...

    High leg incoming service - 3 phase 2legs 120 0ne leg 210V

    The high leg can be used as a source for 208 volt single phase loads, but I wouldn't recommend it. Without doing a full circuit analysis of the situation, I'm not sure how much load would be imposed on each of the transformers. I would also have to know how the transformers are connected. If...

    High leg incoming service - 3 phase 2legs 120 0ne leg 210V

    I'm wondering if you are measuring the power factor correctly. What you have here is a delta connected transfomer bank with one of the windings center-tapped for the neutral. The two 120 volt legs can be used for single phase loads such as lighting and office equipment. The high leg, which...
