I realize that this is an engineering forum, but how many of you would consider yourself a scientist?
I would think of scientist in terms of taking something that either
1 is heavily based on the recent advanced research of another and then applying this to bettering something or
2 is...
Hi everyone,
A recent discussion with an engineer here got me to thinking - are there such things as tunable capacitor banks? IE you have a bank of caps and depending on the inductive properties of the load (which should be able to be measured by probing the voltage and current waveforms and...
Alright, So I went above and beyond and created this tool that automatically stores project related emails to the appropriate project folder on our network. I mean, I put in a good deal of hours on this thing. I was kind of proud when I finally got it working, (I am an EE) with some...
Thanks guys,
This does shed some light on the situation.
Motor contributions will have an impact on calculated upstream fault current values for a short (few cycles) duration is the consensus I am hearing.
I need to pick up my college motor/power circuits book and review the different kind of...
This conclusion is one that apparently a couple people have reached, as they have said this in another thread. I would like to gain more intuitive understanding of this.
I understand perfectly the idea that a motor will 'feed back' on the distribution system and act like a generator when power...
Some of you guys are completely missing the big picture.
Generalists are great if you are in a commodity driven market and not interested in advancing anything. If you just want to minimize outflow and maximize your product/service, then by all means hire all super fast cad guys.
A good...
I just tested placing the Littlefuse in my SKM model and put a bus on either size of the fuse to test available short circuit current at both sides.
Identical.
I don't get it, I think I need to be thinking at this more from a time of trip/break the circuit perspective...
please shed light for...
Anyone very familiar with SKM reply please -
I am trying to model putting a particular fuse in my system to see if SKM dappor/captor short circuit simulation is somehow adjusted if you put a particular fuse in the system. I'm just putting busses on the same side. I still don't quite...
peebee, the discrepency is not whether current limiting fuses and VFDs work together to bring down fault current, but whether reactors and VFDs/not can be used etc.
I factored in motor contribution. This bumped up the original fault current from 36kA to 38KA, ish. So we were still a bit...
I dont know what the policy is on here of naming specific companies. I guess since I don't know (can someone tell me please) I will refrain. But I recently talked to a guy at a bigtime (everyones heard of them) software company and he said that the 80 hour workweek is pretty regular. I really...
Looking around job postings in the ENERGY/financial analyst, traders, etc. This appears to be a cool field where you need both an understanding of some EE but also the ability to accurately model and predict energy/financial markets, using tools like MATLAB, PSS/E, C++, etc.
I'm wondering if...
Yeah, what peebee said.
The most helpful analogy for lighting protection (for me) was when someone talked me through the rolling globe analogy.
The lower limit of a sphere is positioned at air terminals. Any structure below the sphere is covered. Any structure or equipment that intersects...
I thought of the lengthening the feeder thing. My manager thought it was 'idiotic,' though. I checked and it would only take about an additional 35 feet of feeder..
DPC:
Your solution 1) (at top) seems great. This is what my manager suggested looking into. But after digging and talking to...
