    Economy Fuse & Manufacturing

    Does anyone know if another company sells Economy Fuse & Manufacturing's product line? Looks like they may have been a part of Federal Pacific Electric at one time. Thanks

    ABB Arc-Flash Relay (REA 101) Experiences?

    My firm has been asking ABB for assistance in applying this relay for several years with very little luck. We have heard the same thing from switchgear manufacturers about poor support. However, one of their application engineers came by a few months ago and we will probably install on the...

    Is SKM Training worth the $$?

    I recently went to one of SKM's training sessions and found it very useful. Like you, I have been using their products for a while, so all of the material they covered was not new. However, you will probably pick up a few things that will allow you to do your job more quickly or give you more...

    Overexcited power transformer

    It would depend on the relay. Many microprocessor based relays operate only on the fundamental component of the current.

    Oil furan Level standards (test ASTM D5837)

    There is not consensus on the level of furans that indicate a transformer is at the end of its useful life. I have seen values quoted from 100 ppb to 4000 ppb. When trying to make comparisons, it is important to know if the paper insulation is thermally upgraded (typical in North America) or...

    Federal Pacific Electric Power Transformers

    Looking back at a Federal Pacific catalog, they became North American in 1987. I guess Waukesha would be the contact now.

    Stainless Steel galling

    I have looked at this issue some and asked a similar question in one of the other forums. Some possible mitigation methods other than lubricants are: Galling resistant Stainless Steels are available. Use of a torque wrench to prevent over-tightening. Silver plating. One manufacturer suggests...

    PROTECTIVE RELAY COORDINATION

    In addition ANSI/IEEE Std 242 "IEEE Recommended Practice for Protection and Coordination of Industrial and Commercial Power System" or the Buff Book could be helpful

    PROTECTIVE RELAY COORDINATION

    IEEE Std 141 "IEEE Recommended Practice for Electric Power Distribution for Industrial Plants" or the Red Book provides some guidance, but is not specific to the process industry.

    Basler is good. Who else is there?

    Beckwith and GE are possible resources

    Transformer OIl testing

    S. D. Myers has a pretty good book that covers oil testing and other topics related to transformer maintenance. Go to the bookstore at: http://www.sdmyers.com/new_site/

    Grounding transformers

    This standard busbar referenced is good. Another standard you should review if you are specifying a grounding transformer is: ANSI/IEEE Std 32 IEEE Standard Requirements, Terminology, and Test Procedure for Neutral Grounding Devices. A good application reference, with examples, is...
