    Hello all, I’m trying to find the inrush current a new 12 (24MVAR future) 115kv Capacitor bank. I found the formula: I(max)=1330*?(KVAR/LS) for 60hz, Where, LS is the system inductance in microhenries. Now, I know that: Xl=2?fL=377*L Or... L=Xl/(2*pi*f) So my question is, should I just...

    Physical Separation of Primary and Secondary Relaying

    I am curious to see how other people incorporate physical separation in primary and secondary line relays, I'm not talking about separate DC, CTs, etc. On 115kV to 230kV transmission lines, is it necessary to use different panels? If the two relays are on the same panel, is it best to put...
