    Data Center in close proximity to a 115KV Substation

    Is there a minimum separation recommended between a Data Center and a 115KV Substation. The Ground Potential Rise in an existing Data Center adjacent to a 115KV substation (wall to wall) is 809V, there's a concern about the EMI affecting the performance of the servers, routers, etc. GPR of 809V...

    Switchboard

    Hi, A question about a switchboard rated 3,000 Amps, 480V, 3 phase. When we say in our drawings that the equipment is 3,000 Amps, the manufacturer always provide the equipment with the busbar rated 100% or we have to specify in our drawings, that the bar is "3,000 Amps, 100% rated". Thanks for...

    Load Interrupter Switch for Medium Voltage Generators

    I have 4 medium voltage generators (13.8KV) connected to a paralleling switchgear. The generator's manufacturer is recommending to use a load interrupter switch, SF6 type, rather than a simple safety disconnect switch on each generator. I know that the circuit breakers in the paralleling...
