    Directional earth fault protection ( 67N)

    Hey Guys, I am taking a deep dive into directional earth fault protection. I would like to know;if the relay is using Uo on the horizontal plane for polarizing the relay, does this means the internal calculation to determine the trip angle is a power calculation either reactive or active.

    Megawatt override

    Hello guys, In most power plant I worked, we use a feature called megawatt override this is programmed in the Woodward 723 plus. This featured is use when operating the plant in base load and if the frequency drop to 59.5 or rise to 60.5 the Woodward control will trip to droop to assist in...

    Miller timing vs F-timing on diesel engine

    thread71-351425 Good morning A few months back, I posted a question about the F-timing vs miller timing for diesel engine. I final got the answer. Miller timing- Is when the intake valve close a few degree before bottom dead centre,on the intake stroke. F-timing - is the same principle as...

    Replacing MX 341 AVR with MX 321 AVR

    hello everyone, The problem I am having is that I replaced a Stanford MX341 AVR with a MX321 AVR. The 341 is a good working avr, but the genset is going to be synchronize with two other gensets with 321.This is why we replace the 341 with the 321.The problem I am having with the new avr is...

    Different power factor display

    Hi guys, At a 50 MW power plant that is parallel with the grid i observed that the power factor of the out going feeder is different from the station transformer, the outgoing feeder is pf0.85 and the station trafo is pf0.95. Since we are running in pf mode,by changing the pf the voltage change...

    Three phase transformer

    Guys, I have a question if we connect 3 single 100 KVA transformer in a three phase configuration what will be the total power that can be use from the transformer 3*100KVA =300KVA or 1.73*100KVA=173KVA.
