    CT Earthing (grounding)

    I have three protection CT's (1 in each phase) in the delta loop of a star-delta starter. The original installation had the CT secondary's (s2)connected together and grounded, and the s1's are connected to a motor protection relay (MPR) However the protection relay manufacturer's generic data...

    Motor starting current and fault level

    Is there any formulae available, from which you can deduce whether direct online starting of a motor will dip the mains voltage to an unnaceptable level, given the 3 phase fault current level at the motor control center. i.e If I have a 3 phase fault level of 25kA at 415 volts at the MCC, would...

    kwh meter reading wrongly

    I have a 2 element kwh meter which is reading only 20% of the expected calculated kwh value. It is connected to a 3.3 kv system via two residually connected ct's, and two vt's with a common secondary ground. I have a power analyser meter on which I have measured the input to the upper and lower...

    KWH METER READING WRONGLY

    I have a 2 element kwh meter connected to a delta balanced 3 phase system. It utilises 2 ct's (residually connected to red, and blue phases) and 2 vt's(connected with a common secondary earth). The meter is reading only 20% of the expected calculated kwh. I suspect that one or both of the ct's...

    American phase colouring convention

    Can anyone help with the american cable core colouring system. In a single phase system I have black, white and green. Is white the conventional live core ? In a three phase and earth (delta) system I have red, white, black, (and green). What is the conventional rotation ? e.g. in U.K it is red...

    fault calculation

    Is it true to say that given the 3 phase short circuit fault current at a certain point in a system, that a fault between two phases only will produce 0.865 times the 3 phase current value in those two phases ?
