    German CT Symbol

    Good afternoon, I am attempting to figure out what is meant by the CT symbol in the attached picture. I work in the US and I have never seen a CT shown like this, especially with two polarity marks. Thank you! Kyle

    HV Disconnect Position (52aa & 52bb)

    I'm having a hard time finding exactly how the 52aa and 52bb contacts work for a disconnect switch. I believe they work as follows, but please correct me if I'm wrong: As the disconnect closes from open: 52bb opens, 52aa closes, 52b stays closed, 52a stays open When the disconnect is closed...

    Monochrome Plotting

    You will have to excuse my ignorance as I am not as experienced with AutoCAD as I would like to be. I get to do a little electrical drafting now and then. We just upgraded from AutoCAD 2004 to 2005. I like most of the features in 2005, but one plotting element has me a little confused. In...

    Doble F6150/ProTest Test Plans

    We have used Pulsar for several years, and we just recently purchased a Doble F6150. Our techs are familiar with the Doble lineup so I am confident that they will be able to run with this. My problem is the creation of test plans. I understand the macros as they are similar to those of the...
