    Installing 600V single conductors in cable trays

    don't forget with single conductor teck cable you have to connect the ground only on the feed side (by standard) the teck connector have to pass thru a non ferrus material...aka aluminium or stainless and at the other end the connector must pass thru a fiber plate that is to prevent current to...

    Using a 351 relay for LTC control

    could probably use an output with an overvoltage function and timer to make it go lower and undervoltage to raise it if you don't need load compensation and parrallele stuff that could be easy

    Breaker sometimes trips on transformer inrush current

    ok will make it short 1-the problem with a breaker triping time to time, is one days it will trip for real and the operator will get it face blown or blow something...so it is better to solve the tripping probleme 2-i have seen i similar probleme were i customer had large tranformer but with...

    Remote Racking Circuit Breakers

    do you have a link for cbs arcsafe, i did a quik check and didn't find anything on it

    Effect of Lagging Power Factor

    if there is no $$ gain..or fire possiblity...then forget it lol some time if you have load expension adding cap can prevent changing cables so $$ over here if your TOTAL power factor is below .95 the electrical company charge a big extra for it

    Remote Racking Circuit Breakers

    i do field service mi i don't consider those remote thing good stuff, because you can't feel when the breaker is problematic but reading this i was just wondering how come nobody come out with the old idea using a 3 phase winding rotor, so you could rack it remotly but still fell it ... hum...

    Determining correct phaseing on 3 phase system

    without load you are kind of in trouble with your current value you always have to check that your voltage are abc and your current (plus the power factor difference) but if you don't have load you have to pray that all wire are mark correctly

    Grounding of a Un-grounded System

    i don't know the specific but just make sure i wont diconeect it self on a fault i had a customer how put the zigzag thoug a breaker on the first falt the breaker opened to clear the FALT no good lol for protection you don't really protect the transformer you protect the device, so you should...

    Circuit breakers withstand S.C current & no. of operations?

    yep breaker are always breaker, so not to much operation is prefered contactor are good for operation but don't open any short circuit i think your way will be the new ABB breaker Amvac serie if i remember correcly there is in fact almost no mechanical part... i think they are good for 100...

    Generator/transformer circuit breaker

    yep that would be like opening a upstream breaker i just wonder how the generator will do with the transformer inrush...probably will just lower voltage a bit

    Voltage trasnformer connection to busbar

    if those cable are what i think there are 5 to 15 kv jumper cable normally there are not supposed to touch any metal part and neither themself. (other wise on the long run you will get tracking....and maybe surprise lol) normally they use fiber support to pass them thru the red color is to...

    Voltage relay for ground fault

    some relay, fpe kind (bought by ipc..anf now guard something) don't need the xo, they kind of make there own xo(with resistor) and use phase to ground voltage to decide if there is a fault but personnaly if your costomer has an xo...maybe it would be tiem to sell a resistor...after that it...

    Isolation Transformer test

    for me all always do maintenance test with a 1000 v megger 1-on hign voltage (with lo side grounded) 2-on low side (with high side grounded) 3-on low and high side(at the same time)be carreful to have an clean and a bit of isolated jumper normally number 3 gives you the lowest of 1 and 2 if...
