i seen a 132kv/11kv transformer,and thier is a sugar factorys 10MW EXPORT PLANT,MY QUESTION IS THAT WHEN THEY EXPORT ELECTRICITY THEY USE THE SAME TRANSFORMER AND THE CONNECT IT TO 132/11KV TRANSFORMERS SECONDARY SIDE CAN ANY ONE EXPLAIN IT.. THE TRANSFORMER IS OF KIRLOSKAR MAKE AND IT HAS TAP CHANGER.

As we use capacitior bank in 3ph ckt for improvement of PF, why not we use capacitor in single phase domestric use, at our house their are many inductive equipments,like fan,mixer,tube choke,air conditioner they also draw PF... by using capacitor can they improve PF. if yes--what are advantage and how to connect a capactor in single ph,and which type of capacitor if no- what are disadvantages.

In EDO ACBs what is a purpose of closing coil and motor, what is the operation of these devices are they inetconnected. means if we give supply to motor and by BCS we charge Closing coil,what exact is operation is and how it charge a spring of ACB. Sir if anybody has an wiring diagram please send me the link to operate and EDO breaker.

PCE,

Electrical Engineering 1753

We use MCCB not MCB for motor starters because MCCBs has capablity to drawout the motor starting current which is 5-6 times the full load current of motor for 1sec. Then why we use SDF in starter panel means MCC panels. Pls reply if any one knows this answer.

Question { 9798 }

What is the fuction of UV & how it works in circut breakers?
is it one type of relay?


Answer

UV IS Under voltage realease type relay,
uv is installed in breaker and it is designed so that when
the supply of its coil is interupted it opens the breaker.
when you give supply then only you can close the breaker.
it is installed manily for interlocking.
we can use them in almost all type of onload ckt breaker
like-- MCCB,ACB,VCB,SF6 Etc...


if their is any mistake in this answer pls post it,i am diploma holder and working in panel manufacturing co--

Question { 3507 }

Can anyone explain about Control and power circuits of star delta starter & DOL starter ? How it works? please!


Answer

DOL- DIRECT ONLINE STARTER
we use one contactor,one thermal o/l relay
in this connection we use the contactors NO contact parallel to contactor coil after stop push button,
when we push start P/B and realease it at this time the NO
contact becames NC and the contactor run continously.

Question { Apollo, 7003 }

how do you select the ct/pt rating in substation


Answer

First we should know the operational voltage of Substation,
transformer rating in MVA/KVA,Depending on this values we have to find the current,after getting all this values we can select the CT/PT ratings.

Question { 8199 }

Capacitor panel CT is normally fixed on Y phase of the main
panel.why???


Answer

no my friend,it depends on APFC relay,
1.in L&T make APFC relay ct is looped in R-phase.
2.in Sentron make APFC relay ct is looped in Y-phase.
3.in Sycon make APFC relay ct is looped in B-phase.

if you have any dout see all above relays wiring diagram.
For measuring PF APFC relay required any two phases & one CT sence on remaining phase from main PCC Phase.
Eg.(R-Y phase & BCT from Main Panel)

Question { 8199 }

Capacitor panel CT is normally fixed on Y phase of the main
panel.why???


Answer

Thanks Zia Mam,For Sharing Additional information,but what about the manufacturing relay companys who manufacture the relay which has R,Y,B phase Selection of CT which i have mentioned in above answer,should we select our relay as per our Phase Load.

Question { 3156 }

what is the step by step formula for calculating bus bar
phase and neutral size of a panel board.suppose the incomer
of panel board is 100A..???step by step answer please


Answer

It depend on which metal you are using copper/aluminum.
& it also depends on density.
to calculate busbars multipy cross sections.
For AL if density is 0.7/1A
Eg.for 100A incomer density .7 busbar is 20x10MM=140A.
with 1A density 10x10mm=100A
For CU standard density is 1.5/1.8A

what is the different ratings of ACB/VCB/SF6 which is used
at HT side


Answer

FIRST OF ALL CORRECT YOUR QUESTION,
ACBs are not Used In HT Side.
& THE DIFFRENT RATINGS OF VCB/SF6 Breakers Depends on your system voltage.
VCB ratings 11kv,33kv
SF6 available from 11kv to 440kv and so on.
