    70:250.30(A)(1) Exception 2

    In my opinion, the art.250.30 A(1) System Bonding Jumper requests a single SSBJ at the source enclosure, and Art.250.30 A(1) exception 2, permits 2 SSBJ: one at the source and the second at the disconnector side. In this case, we may not connect these two SSJBs with a bonding wire in order to...

    Protection Functions

    In my opinion all the symbols except Ursd and df/dt are IEC 60617 protection graphical symbols. Ursd may be Residual Voltage Relay and df/dt it has to be rate of change ROCOF relay .

    iec 60364-5-52

    My edition of IEC 60364-5-52 standard it is from 2001 In this edition Annex B is for information, only. Also, in the last edition [of 2024?] as I saw, Annex B it is informative only. So, the actually normative part is still A. On A 20 it is written: NOTE 3 Values are given for vertical spacings...

    Powerfactory zero sequence voltage calculation

    First, I calculated the primary phase-to-phase angle and I took for secondary phase-to-neutral the same angle[see the sketch]. Then I calculated the secondary phase-to-phase voltage using these phase-to-neutral secondary voltages, changing the absolute value -only-in order to create a...

    Powerfactory zero sequence voltage calculation

    If we recalculate the Delta phase-to-phase voltages using voltages phase-to-neutral the absolute value is not 400 V but 402.7 AB, 411.4 BC and 407 CA. That means the phase-to-neutral voltages are different. If Powerfactory software may approximate these different phasor values in order to reach...

    Ground(earth) continuity conductor (ECC) within substation

    If the cable run in trefoil formation -as per IEEE 575-for a rated load -up 1000 A the built-up voltage it will be less than 3 V . In case of short-circuit up to 90 kA- the voltage will be 250-300 V In flat formation-one feet distance, not cross bonding-for rated load may be 10 V, but for 90 kA...

    open delta 3 phase voltages - 2 single phase transformers

    If there are 2 single phase transformers 240/120 you'll get only 120 V between X1,X2,Xo ,if instead of H1 and H2 connected in the middle [short-circuit!] you'll put H3. In order to get "high point" you need 3 transformers, but for only 104 V. For 208 you need 240 V secondary [not primary!]

    Elevated cable trays - when could these be considered subject to physical damage and unsupported tray cable not allowed per the NEC?

    In order to protect the cable, from cable tray up to connected equipment, you have to keep the minimum required in NEC Art.300. In a power station -mainly in a machine room-it is recommended to run the cable from cable tray up to maximum 6 feet from the equipment in a rigid conduit-usually rigid...

    Short Circuit Studies

    Three-phase short-circuit current I"k3=Un/sqrt(3)/Z1 Phase-to-ground short-circuit current I"k1=Un*sqrt(3)/(Z1+Z2+Zo) That means: Un/sqrt(3)/Z1<sqrt(3)*Un/(Z1+Z2+Zo) or: 1/Z1<3/(Z1+Z2+Zo) 3*Z1>Z1+Z2+Zo Usually, Z2=Z1 then Zo<Z1 in transformer Neglecting the resistance Xo<X1 See ABB attachment.

    Class1 Dive2 Group C&D

    If the process area it is an open site and your panels are also in open air it is not a hazardous area for this equipment. The hazardous area border if it is enclosed it is 5 m more or less [in outgoing conduits].

    Does anyone know of any type of software or Excel database for dynamic analysis of the capacity curve for an electric generator?

    I'll try to transmit a Excel file as I did 20 years ago. See: http://circuitglobe.com/capability-curve-of-a-synchronous-generator.html

    Thermal resistivity for UG cable calculations

    First, the IEC standards use elevated earth resistivity -see IEC 60364-5-52 [2.5 K.m/W] or IEC 60502-2 [ 1.5 K.m/W]. However, directly buried power cable produces a soil heating and then the soil around stays dry. The standard IEC 60287-1-1 presents a way to overcome the actual change in earth...
