    Current Transformer

    During a temperature-rise-test (TRT) in the lab the device to be tested is fed 4kA current taken directly from the grid. Usually the voltage applied is 1V so that the power during the test comes to about 4KW. Now we are investigating how we can improve the efficiency of this lab and TRT. Is it...

    Slip-Ring Recovery System vs New Synchronous Motor

    We have an asynchronous slip-ring induction Motor and we are currently evaluating ways to improve our energy efficiency. We have two concrete suggestions so far Motor-Generator specs 6KV, 25MW Pf= 0.9 R= 2975/min f=50Hz i) Slip-Ring Recovery System Saving the slip power during the run-down...

    Suggestions on Improving Efficiency (Motor-Generator )

    (Drawing of the setup attached) Background: We conduct electrical tests in our lab on electrical components (circuit breakers, switchgears,etc). In the lab we have a short-circuit Generator that generates the electricity for the tests. The generator is powered by an asynchronous motor with a...

    Asychnronous Motor-Generator

    We have an asynchronous motor (slipring rotor) to run our short-circuit Generator which produces electricity for our testing procedures. Power factor = 0.9 During a capacitive current test we need only a capacitive current. During operation the output from our generator consists of both active...

    Three Phase Power Measurement

    Hi We are measuring 3 Phase Power of an asynchronous Motor-Generator and have equipment installed on Phase 1 (L1) and Phase 3 (L3) to measure the current/voltage/power. I have some questions regarding the results. Q) Why is the Power of Phase 1 positive and Phase 3 Negative ? Q) How can I...
