While doing the arc flash study, I wonder what effect does the single line to ground fault has on arc flash current and incident energy?
When I performed the arc flash study, I did a mistake of low resistance grounding the transformer and generator instead of solidly grounding them. There was...
Hi,
I am currently doing a coordination study and I would like to know how to set the UPS instantaneous setting. I know I have to calculate and add the inrush current of all the pdu transformers and set the instantaneous setting of the static bypass switch circuit breaker to a level where it can...
Hi
I am currently working on the coordination study using SKM power tool analysis. Questions regarding the ZSI settings.
The SKM support told me that I have to input the Trip/Delay time(sec) for the breakers with ZSI module. The manufacturer said that the minimum trip time is 0.1. Please have...
There are two vista switchgears, one fed from A-side and the other one fed from B-side. These switchgears serves transformers.
Since the B vista switchgear is energized through the closed loop switch in each transformer a fault on a primary conductor will be fed direct from the utility and...
Hi,
I am trying to select a S&C vista device. Downstream of this device is a fused transformer rated at 2500kVA, 34500kV/480V. The transformer fuse is rated at 8A. The current on the primary side of the transformer is only 5A. Can I select a vista fuse rated at 100A? Is it too high?
I have a question regarding the protective device voltage. The utility is 34.5kV and the relay connected to the S&C vista SWGR is rated at 23000V. I always thought that the protective device voltage should always be higher than the bus voltage. Please advise...
Thanks
I am currently working on coordination study of a project. The curves of few breakers are overlapped. So it is tough to say which one will trip first. But what I understood is that, since the breaker trip units used has the characteristic of Zone selective Interlocking (ZSI) , the breakers...
Hello everyone,
can someone please let me know how to set the settings of a vista protective relay? On what basis is the pick-up, U2 inverse, Instantaneous and the definite time settings selected?
