    Is there any estimate reference for Power System Studies?

    Hi, Sometimes, I propose my quotation of power system studies to my client. They might ask me how to get the amount of price, even ask me what the basis of your quotation is. I always explain that would spend how much hours and cost per man hour(MH), so get it totally. Like this is a personal...

    The length of CT lead of differential relay

    There is a differential relay of generator placed on GCP. The both CTs of differential relay, one in the 13.8kV SWGR and the other one located at secondary side of generator. There is a question that the length of CT lead from 13.8kV SWGR to GCP (eg. 1000M) is far longer than from Generator to...

    Close NDS at Generator side or Transformer side?

    There is a power system, one Generator connected to 13.8kV Bus and one Step-up transformer 69/13.8kV primary side connected to the power grid, secondary connect to 13.8kV Bus. Both generator and transformer have equipped with NGR for forming a low resistance grounding system. Choose one of two...

    Record macros with shapes

    I would like to record macros with shapes. When I done the shapes (eg. Two circles to form a transformer symbol), then group them as finish. Next time I want to get the transformer symbol in group, just pick the dedicated macro up. But, the work isn’t so smooth expectedly. The said macro can’t...

    How to calculate the SLG kA contributes from Utility

    Hi, I run the short circuit in SKM. And, I fill in the SCC contribute from Utility in MVA as below. 3 phase = 8000MVA Line to Ground= 3000MVA I got the kA value from SKM are 20.082kA and 22.654kA base on 230kV respectively. If(3p)=MVA(3p)/(1.732*VL-L)=8000/(1.732*230)=20.082kA---OK...
