    HRG & Capacitive Charging Current

    Our 13.8kV, 30MVA generator has a neutral HRG (single phase transformer w/ resistor on secondary) that is designed to allow 5A (primary) on the generator neutral during the first phase-ground fault. Our end user on a new install is advising that their system has a nominal continuous value of...

    Convert a 0-200 Microamp Signal for use in PLC?

    I have an old turbine control system that uses black boxes for temperature and speed control. I'm trying to get the speed (passive Mag pick-up) and temperature signals (Type K Thermocouple) in to a PLC for monitoring. I think piggy backing off the Mag pick and taking the signal into a high...

    Neutral Bar Clearance, 13.8kV Generator

    Anyone know what the clearance requirements are for a 15kV (13.8kV nom) generator neutral bar? This is the neutral bar within the generator terminal box and would typically have leads T2, T4, T6 landed on it. Is there any code requirement or industry standard I could refer to? Live phase...

    3 x Single Phase OR 1 x 3-phase Power Transformer

    I have the opportunity to install qty (3) 333kVA single phase transformers (pole-mount, oil filled) or qty (1) 1000kVA 3-phase transformer (pad-mount, oil filled). Not considering any other factors (installation, space, etc.) which set up would be most electrically efficient at full load? Is...

    Unusual Generator to GSU Transformer Configuration

    I've inherited a project with an existing standby generator, 2.5MW, 480V, wye connected which feeds an existing 480/11kV Wye-Delta GSU transformer. In this case the wye connected generator is connected to the wye windings on the primary of the transformer. Wye's are solidly grounded. Service...

    LMS100, How Dear?

    Anybody have an idea what the current cost is for a GE LMS100PA genset package is? Just looking for an idea of the package, and GE-supplied auxiliaries, not necessarily install or other EPC costs. David www.mavenpower.com

    Wierd Curiosity for RSLogix Security Login

    I have RSLogix500 running for months on my PC and now I get an error message and it's asking me for Security Login username and password. Never had to do this before. Strange thing is, I can see my proper activation in the Factory Talk Activation Manager. I have no idea what this username...

    Motor-Generator vs. VFD?

    I have an application where my existing power control room runs about 250kVA of load at 480V, 3P3W, 60Hz. This PCR will be shipped to a 400V, 50Hz country. My initial solution was to use a motor-generator set (50Hz motor turning a 60Hz Generator) due to its simplicity, few parts, and pure...

    Inrush Current for Multiple Power Transformers in Series?

    I have an application where a generating station is providing power to a regional load via two power transformers. Generation is at 400V, steps to 24kV at Trafo1, and then 600m later steps down to 400V at Trafo2. Both transformers are 2000kVA w/ impedance of 6.43%. Assuming no cold load...

    Allen Bradley PanelView Component? Yeah or Nay?

    I have a small automation project we're working on which will use an AB Micrologix1200 processor. I need a low cost HMI and am considering the AB PanelView Component family, which I have never used before. I know there were some serious issues with programming speed/latency, validation, etc...

    Inverse of a VFD

    I have an application in which an induction motor (island mode w/ capacitors for reactive power) supplies a variable rotational speed/frequency input and I need a constant speed/frequency output. In other words, I have an input, single phase voltage signal which will vary from 0-60Hz, and I...

    Ever had to join 2 x 200A load break elbows together?

    Has anyone ever had to join two 200A load break elbows together? Is there a product out there like a joint or spool piece that we could use to temporarily join two circuits together while waiting on a piece of distribution equipment which will have the traditional bushings/inserts. Thanks in...

    Legacy PLC-5 Processors

    Hello All: I have several PLC5/40C ControlNet processors at our plant, and need to have several standby spares to replace the processor card in the event one fails. These are the ControlNet processors that have ControlNet v1.25, not the more prevalent v1.5. Rockwell no longer sells/actively...

    Logos Wrong for Years

    My CAD draftsperson created our logo and put it into in a DWG file title block using our company's special font. It is ttf font type that is not part of Windows core load, but is commercially available and been around for years. But when I open the drawings on my machine the font associated...

    Mystery USA Pump Manufacturer

    Hello All: I am trying to find pump curves for the pump shown in the photo but am stumped as to who the manufacturer is. Does anyone know who the "D Pumps" manufacturer is (see casting in photo)? I have tried Dayton and Dover, but they don't seem to fit what I have. It is a 3-5 year old...

    Heavy Hydrocarbon Dropout

    I have a standard pipeline quality natural gas steam which is composed primarily of methane, but some heavy hydrocarbons are present such as pentane, propane, and butane. My question is, for this given gas stream, how can I calculate the amount of NGL (nat gas liquid) available in the form of...

    Earthing Transformers vs. NGRs?

    Hi Collegues: Our standard generator package is provided with low resistance 26Ohm/300A/10sec neutral grounding resistors. A new customer of ours has specified neutral earthing transformers for each of three, 5MW generators that will be installed and connected to their system (customer is a...
