    6 pulse rectifier - transformer overheating

    I'm considering a 6 pulse recitifer which is used to control a dc motor. A delta-wye transformer is located before this rectifer and is being subjected to excessive heating. I am interesting in seeing the Irms^2*R (heat) that is being produced, due to the harmonics of this rectifier. I'd like to...

    DC Drive Harmonics - simulation

    I'm considering a dc drive which consists of two six-pulse bridges (i.e. 12 pulse converter). One of the bridges is supplied through a wye-wye transformer and the other through a wye-delta. I'd like to simulate current harmonics produced by this system and I'm looking for a recommendation of...

    Predictive Harmonic Study

    I'm considering an industrial distribution system which has a variety of harmonic producing equipment. I am interested in predicting the effects of these harmonics on the power system. With the use of software, is it possible to predict the properties of harmonics in a system ? If so, how...

    high speed op-amp oscillator - sine, square, triangle waveforms

    I'm trying to design a variable frequency RC-component based oscillator (with a large frequency range) using HIGH SPEED OP-AMPS (no special IC's). I want the output to be symmetric sine, square, as well as triangular waveforms with amplitude control. Has anyone designed such a circuit in the...

    Ground Potential Rise Estimate

    I'm considering a distribution system that is not connected to any grid. It is supplied by a Hydel and diesel generating station. The Hydel produces at 600 V and is bumped up (via a x-mer) to 25 kV. There is 5 km of 3/0 Piegon transmission line that is used to connect the Hydel to the diesel...

    Transmission Line Drop

    The following transmission line is being considered: ACSRSL 167.7 6/1 Pigeon 3/0 25C If the above 3 phase line was stretched a distance of ~8000 ft, would it be expected to see a large drop over the line ? i.e. should the current at the end of the line differ a lot (if any) from the current...

    impedance diagrams

    I'm performing a fault study on a small distribution system and I was wondering if anyone new of software that would generate impedance diagrams so that later, relay settings can be determined. I've determined the positive/negative and zero sequence impedance at a variety of locations...

    multiple generator modeling

    If I'm considering a distribution system that is solely supplied by synch. generators and I have 3 of them running at once......is there any way to model these in terms of reactance (sub-transient, zero sequence, etc.) as one large generator ? Is it as easy as considering them connected in...

    cable impedance

    I'm trying to compare some impedance values between a table that I've found with values that are modeled through a computer program. The cable that I'm considering is 350 MCM 69 kV (Teck90) 3/C. The software that I'm using models it with the following parameters (this is in p.u., based on a...

    short circuit study - transformer data

    The software that I'm using to perform a short circuit study asks me the following information when I insert a 2 winding transformer: KVA/phase, Z+(pu), Zo(pu), configuration, grounding impedance (ohms). The transformers that I'm considering are 3 phase banks (single phase transformers...

    generator - sequence impedances

    The software that I'm using to perform a fault study requires me to enter the maximum 3 phase fault current and the X/R ratio (of a substation/generator) and from this, it produces the positive and negative sequence impedances. It leaves the zero sequence impedance blank for me to fill in...

    Short Circuit Ratio Calculation

    Not familiar with short circuit ratio (X/R) of synchronous generator calculation. Given generator reactances (Xd, X'd, X''d, ....), time constants, stator/rotor resistance, etc. How would on compute the short circuit ratio ? (if it is possible with the above info.) Thanks

    generator - thevenin impedance

    I'm using some software to perform a fault study on a distribution system. When I input a substation (ie. generator) I have to specify the 3 phase fault current and and the short circuit ratio (X/R). From this, the program determines the positive and negative thevenin impedances....the zero...

    Generator Fault - Leakage Reactance

    I'm trying to determine various faults on a synchronous generator. I received information from the manufacturer -> ie. Xd, X'd, X''d, Xq, X''q ...... The one piece of information that was added that I was not used to seeing was a leakage reactance. Here are some typical numbers that I have...

    transformer sequence impedance

    I have 3 single phase transformers that have no physical common bond between each other except for the fact that there terminals are connected delta-wye (from a generator (delta) to the main bus (wye)). Each transformer is 250 kVA, 600V-25kV, Z%=6.02. For simulation purposes, I want to...

    transformer bank

    If I'm considering a 3 phase transformer bank (made from 3 single phase transformers -> 25kV - 120/208 V, 50kVA, Z=2%, wye-wye), how would I model such a thing as one unit ? (i.e. what would the impedance be, if I were modeling the above as a 3 phase transformer for computer simulations ?)...

    transformer sequence impedance

    Can anyone give me some info on determine positive and zero sequence impedances for a transformer ? The one that I'm considering is a 3 phase, delta-wye (wye solidly grounded), 250 kVA, 600 V - 25 kV, Z = 3.42 %. Thanks in advance

    generator data

    Not familar with this topic at all......do manufacturers such as CAT usually have the available short circuit current of their generators ? If not, I would like to know how to calculate it. What I do know about the generator in question is, 1.) 60 Hz, 1200 rpm 2.) 650 kW 3.) 600 V 4.)...

    short circuit capacity

    I'm looking at a system that is supplied from a 1 MW sync. generator. The voltage on the primary line is 600 V (from the gen.) and then stepped up through a transformer to 25kV. The transformer is a 3 phase, 250 kVA, Y-Y, Z=3.42%. I don't know the generator reactances and I want to calculate...
