IN OLTC we observed "OUT OF STEP" Alarm, we have two
different transformer, when both are in parallel this type
of alarm observed. what's the meaning of this alarm and why
it occurs???

Answer / nasseem
Out of step means that the Two transformers at different tap.
i.e. TR-1 at tap n and TR-2 at tap n+1 or n-1.
And as you know the two transformers should have same tap
"if the two transformers have same tap size i.e 1.25% for
example" when it operated in parallel to prevent the
circulation current between the two transformers.
So it seems in your case if we assume TR-1 is master and
TR-2 is follower TR-1 change its tap position while TR-2
still at it is original tap.

For details of the parallel operation of transformer refer
the website:
http://nptel.iitm.ac.in/courses/IIT-MADRAS/Electrical_Machines_I/pdfs/1_14.pdf
According to the literature the cause for the out of step
operation maybe due to
1)Change in voltage ratio
2)Change of polarity

sir,in our plant we r using SATEC PM172E power reading meeters in HT panel side it is monitoring the MB data smart viewer(sever).but last one week we did not get readings inthe server only available in meeter.tell me how communicate meter and server. and also what steps we take for checking.
Determine the minimum cable size for a 28A single phase final sub circuit originating from the distribution board supplied by three phase submain. The route length of the final sub circuit is 54 m. Assume 1% voltage drop in the consumer's mains. Submain specification: Cable: 50mm2 4 core V75 copper; Route length 42m; Maximum demand 135A per phase
