    Bus bar protection commissioning

    Hi, I have had experience in testing busbar protection via secondary injection methods. This is easier because no live circuitry involved, no HV switching required. Can anyone give me tips on how to carry out site-commissioning, especially with regard to adding new bays to bus protection to...

    Transformer Differential Protection feeding a aluminum smelter

    Hi, We've had a few trips on our transformer differential relay that feeds an aluminum smelter. The differential relay is microprocessor-based, low impedance type. Are there anyone who has seen any funnies with this load? What from the load side could affect the protection adversely? The...

    Busbar equipment rating

    Hello, We have two 15MVA star-star transformers terminating on two 11kV busbars with a bus-tie. Full load current for the transformers are 787Amps. Assuming the load is spread evenly between the two buses, how would the bus-tie CB and bus-equipment be rated? Thanks.

    CT sizing for transformer overcurrent application

    Good day, I'm in an IEC world. I have a 11kV/0.4kV, 200kVA xfr. This means 10.5A high side nominal current, and 282A low side nominal current. How do I size the 11kV CT for overcurrent protection? The fault levels on 11kV is 25kA. b.

    66/11 kV substation construction & design

    Hi, I would like to have access to books/documents or url's regarding substation design from environmental impact assessment, sub location, construction, equipment rating, substation layout, cables layout, water ducts, and other factors that might affect design. Your comments would be appreciated.
