    3-leg core type vs 4-leg shell type vs 3 single phase bank

    A Y/YG transformer, Y side connects to a source and Y grounded side connects to lines. There is no zero sequence current return path as the Y side is ungrounded. However, for a core type transformer the residual leakage flux through the tank wall cannot be ignored. The air gaps have very high...

    Abandoned Underground Power Cable at Station

    HI all, Can someone share your practice of dealing with abandoned underground feeder cables from substation to raiser poles on street, which the cable cannot be pulled out due to the ruptured ducts. Thanks

    UR T60 differential mis-operated on an external downstream fault

    UR T60 differential mis-operated on an external downstream fault. I looked into the relay settings and found several things I thought may cause the T60 mis-operated from most likely to least likely in the following order: 1) SRC 1 doesn't get any frequency and phasor measurement 2) in...

    Reset time in ANSI/IEC TCC curves

    Some modern relays have a "Reset Time" for ANSI or IEEE and IEC inverse-time overcurrent curves. I understand the reset time is to emulate the disk type relays for the disk to return its zero position. My question is how does the reset time in the modern relays affect the TCC curves so as to...

    SLG and LLG SC MVA

    Hi all 3P short-circuit MVA is very clear, pre-fault_VLL*If*1.732. But how do you guys see the definitions of SSC MVA for LG and LLG faults?

    Any Problems Associated with the Tap Changer Control?

    Hi All Does anybody see any problems on this temporary operation: We are replacing 2 transformers on a single DESN station. Two existing 110kV/14.2kV 20MVA transformers will be replaced by two 30MVA transformers. First one is going to happen in spring and the second one is to happen in fall...

    Remanent Flux vs CT secondary Current

    May I ask someone correct me if I am wrong here. Assume the remanent flux on a CT core is 80% of the pu value, therefore, can I say: 1) there is only 20% capacity left before it saturates 2) the secondary current will be reduced by 80% Thanks a bunch!

    Voltage imbalance limit?

    Hello, does anybody know if there is a requirement in North America that sets the voltage unbalance limit for a utility supply? Thanks in advance!

    Primary neutral Current and Transformer Inrush

    Does the instantaneous current value of the 2nd harmonic from all 3 phases cancel each other on the neutral during a transformer inrush? The question was raised from setting up a neutral or ground element, do you need to avoid the inrush? Any differences between Wye primary and Delta primary...

    Induction Generator?

    Are wind turbines induction generators? Is there a gear box that is used to adjust the rotor speed according to the wind speed? What mechanism is used to prevent it becoming a big motor? Thx!

    CT ratios

    A CT nameplate is labeled as such: 1200/800/600-5 X1-X4: 1200-5, 2.5L800 X1-X3: 800-5, 2.5L400 X2-X3: 600-5, 5L400 It seems the CT has three ratios on the given tap connections. However, if connect the taps as below you may get: X3-X4: 400-5 X1-X2: 200-5 The questions are: 1) is this a common...

    How to explain this

    Assume there is a resistive and inductive line, which means no capacitance considered. A 3phase short circuit occurred on the end of line, let's also assume the source is 1pu with 0 phase angle. My question is will it be possible that at some point along the line the voltage leads the source...
