    Slots/holes on bus bars, what's the effect?

    AC (50~60 Hz) current distribution may not be uniform across the cross section of the conductor..... skin effect.... this can be verified by Finite Element Analysis of the current distribution. In the above case its quite possible that the holes may be located such that it doesn't greatly effect...

    Interview

    not sure what you mean by the "impresions they give if they have to give an impression about the job"?? Sarg

    Interview

    If you got to the stage of the phone interview, it means you have 90% of the job.... now it depends on your presentaion and communication skills to make it 100%. Normally in phone interviews the employer wants to know your technical background and also get to know about you. Show interest in the...

    When does a transformer become a bomb?

    Here is a link that I found thru a web search: http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/transformers/subcommittees/power/C57.143-EPRIDCXIII-ESKOMpresentation.pdf It states in one of the case studies that the rate of rise for Methane and Ethylene is 2PPM / day. But the over all message is TO REMOVE THE...

    generator pole to pole connection

    Th epole to pole connections are subjected to centrifugal forces during unit operation. Normally the rotor would expand up to 300 thou due to this centrifugal forces. It is therefore important that the pole to pole connections have enough flexibility to avoid any undue stresses which may end up...

    Rust treatment and removal

    I have a 5 years old car and I find that some of the parts like door hinges and bolts etc are starting to get rusted.... is there a product available that would clean and protect these parts? Sarg

    Name Plate Issue

    rmw. In our case the contractor wants to provide a name plate with a higher rating 30MVA where as we are asking for 24 MVA. because this is what the generator can generate with the max available head and the present turbine. The thing is that we go with a higher rating we'll have to get into...

    Name Plate Issue

    skogsgurra: whom should this second plate come from? The contractor or us? Sarg

    Name Plate Issue

    We have a recent generator rewind and upgrade. Runner was also refurbished. We asked the contractor/supplier to provide a name plate that would show exactly the power the generator would generate when coupled to the existing generator which is less than what the generator is actually designed...

    Moisture in Transformer Fluid

    First of all... how much moisture did you find? For R-Temp Fluid I believe the max allowed moisture content is 35ppm. Sarg

    RTD and DCT for Generator

    From the info given above ... the CTs could be the cause. I would check for loose connectiones on the CT wiring and also check the insulation & turn ratio of the CTs Sarg

    Depends what you mean by recent.... actually it was back in the 90s. Sarg

    Gas Turbine 125 V DC Ground

    As Scotty indicated your best bet would be to use a Battery Ground Fault Locator. I have personally used it to locate ground faults in hydro power plants. I would say it's a great piece of equipment.... allowing you to trace ground faults without having to shut the unit down. In fact without the...

    Substation Batteries

    Hello sumeng05 Yes one of the facilities I used to work in had Ca and YES we had problems with buckling and expansion of the plates within the first year. The expansion of the plates was so severe that it was popping open the top coves of the containers. We did register an increase in the...

    Selection of Tap Changer on Transformer

    Just to add to the list of precautions ... personally I would feel comfortable in energizing the transformer, after each tap changer operation, only if the transformer turn ratio is checked. Perhaps checking the contunity of winding won't hurt either. Sarg

    How old can generator cores get?

    In old stator cores one should look for any deformations, localized heating, damage due to shorted winding, fretting corrosion etc. Core loop test is a good way of knowing if there are any hot spots. Normally minor hot spots can be treated by weeping epoxy. However bigger hot spots with...

    What is the size of the series connector compared to the coil size?

    KH2 I know only one manufacturer (sorry cannot disclose its name) who's generators employ the series connectors you have explained above (may be there are more but at least in my limited experience I have come across only one). I am sorry I don't have all the technical details but apparently...
