David,
Ideally a bigger generator would be the best option.However, that option is not available. The sequencing of the load is actually what we are doing.
What is ampacity of these latching contactors
Hi,
I need some advice. I am an electrical engineer in charge of a telecom facility electric distribution system. We have a generator that cannot manage the start up load of the facility.
It was suggested that a time delay be used to bring the load online 3 minutes after the generator has...
Hi,
recently relocated a 415V distributional panel. As a consequence that panel is fed from by a sub feeder carrying about 200 A and it goes through an appropriately sized circuit breaker. I am thinking that that breaker is one too many potential failure points.
What do you think? and what is...
Catserveng,
in my propsed system I wowuld want one ATS to chose between two gen. This output would feed another ats, say ats 2. Ats 2 will chose between gen power and utility.
Have you ever setup anything like that?
Thanks for your responses. I do not want a parallel system as Catsereng realized. Just for record I did not purchase or spec the gensets others did and I am trying to get the setup to work.
Thanks for your responses. CATSERENG, I am going to do some research into the ideas that you have given me.
Hi,
I am an electrical engineer at a telecom facility. We want to improve the reliability and redundancy of ac power system. Previously we had one diesel engine generator, however, we purchased another genset (ATS and generator).
I told the installer that I wanted the standby system to set up...
Is it possible that even after adhering to to NEC 450.3(b) rule the primary breaker could still trip from inrush current?
Also how can I be sure that the circuit breaker selected can handle the inruch current?
