    Auto transformer for Motor rating abovr 4MW

    In my organization...Upto 4MW Motor ratings is fed from 6.6kV,3150A (Vacuum Circuit Breaker feeder). Motor ratings above 4MW.... is fed from 33kV Bus through a 33/11kV auto transformer. The circuit breaker operations does not demand frequent operations and hence Vacuumm contactor is not a must...

    PD sensor for PD measurement in EHV Cable

    Which is the most preferred PD sensor used for PD measurement in EHV cable? We have copper foil type PD sensor in our EHV cable network which are placed every 500 mtr. What is the sensitivity of copper foil type sensor? I understand HFCT sensor can sense PD upto 1km on its either side and hence...

    Disconnector and earth switch in 220kV GIS

    Why do we need disconnector + earth switch after every component in 220kV GIS ? This is not the case in 33kV GIS. For e.g In a typical Bay we have "disconnector+earth switch" after busbar assembly,after Circuit breaker,and again after current transformer. Pl advise.

    High speed grounding switch and its purpose in EHV GIS

    What is the use of High speed grounding switch in EHV GIS and in which location of the bay is it exactly used? Why only in line feeder bay? Some specs mention that both earthing and high speed earth switch should be able to make a fault..some specs say only high speed earth switch needs to have...

    Matt Black paint inside busduct enclosure

    In a typical conventional LV busduct, Matt black paint is painted on busbar as well as inside of busduct enclosure. While black paint on busbar shall help in radiation of heat from the busbar towards outward direction. I feel black paint on inside of busduct enclosure too shall radiate heat in...
