What is the calculation for heat dissipation in BTU/HR?

Issue: How to calculate the heat dissipation in BTU per hour Product Line: All Schneider product lines Cause: The calculation to determine the BTU for adding a piece of equipment to a cabinet to prevent overheating. Resolution: To calculate heat dissipation, multiply watts by 3.4192. The result...

What is the Utilisation cat for NS MCCB and ICS and ICU percentage ?

IEC 60947 define ICS as the "rated service short-circuit breaking capacity" while ICU as the "rated ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity". The Ics is a percentage of Icu. For "Utilization Category B" breakers, Ics is always equal to Icu. An example for Utilization Category B breakers from our...

Are there any standards for sizing the neutral/PE bars?

The earthing schemes and sizing differ according to the earthing scheme (TT,TN-C,TN-S,IT...etc). According to the required earthing scheme, you should size your earthing and neutral conductors. IEC standard 60364-5-54 illustrates how to size a protective earthing (PE) and neutral conductors. This...

What is the definition of ANSI 27R - Remanent undervoltage?

Protection used to check that remanent voltage sustained by rotating machines has been cleared before allowing the busbar supplying the machines to be re-energized, to avoid electrical and mechanical transients.

What is the definition of ANSI 50N/51N or 50G/51G - Earth fault?

Earth fault protection based on measured or calculated residual current values: ANSI 50N/51N: residual current calculated or measured by 3 phase current sensors ANSI 50G/51G: residual current measured directly by a specific sensor.

Why a 4-20 mA is preferred to 0-10V in analog signals?

The bottom span 4 mA expresses a minimum signal value than a broken wire. Since the loop current never falls to zero, it can be loop powered, allowing for a two-wire circuit. 20 mA is considered an intrinsically safe signal in most locations. Elimination of the voltage drop errors results from long...

What is meant by vector group for transformers and why is it important?

What is vector group for transformers? A vector group is the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) method of categorizing the high voltage (HV) windings and low voltage (LV) winding configurations of three-phase transformers. The vector group designation indicates the windings...

VIDEO: Testing Citect Credentials Fail for Application Services Host

Issue A users credentials fail to authenticate in Application Configuration Utility > Application Services Host: Citect connection unavailable. Note: Citect runtime must be running to perform this test Note: Citect Runtime is already running. Product Line PowerSCADA...

What is meant by Symmetrical and Asymmetrical breaking currents?

issue: Customer wants to know the value of the symmetrical and asymmetrical breaking current of the circuit breaker and what do they mean. Environment: Circuit Breaker Resolution: - Symmetrical breaking current is the RMS value of AC component of short circuit current at the instant of separation...

Apa alternatif replacement battery UPS SURT15KRMXLI jika APCRBC140 tidak ready stock?

Apa alternatif replacement battery UPS SURT15KRMXLI jika APCRBC140 tidak ready stock? ======================================================================= Untuk alternatifnya bisa menggunakan battery pack type SURT192XLBP sebanyak 2 sets, karena didalam 1 set SURT192XLBP terdapat 2 sets battery...

In a 3 phase system, why does the meter still show voltage reading on one of the phases even after breaking the phase circuit?

Issue: Testing phase loss on a meter doesn't result in a null voltage reading. Environmnet: EasyLogic Series Power Meters PowerLogic Series Power Meters Resolution: The voltage seen is what we call "phantom voltage", its a known phenomenon with all high impedance power meters. These phantom...

What is Power Factor Correction (PFC) - Does it help conserve energy?

Issue: What is Power Factor Correction (PFC) - Does it help conserve energy? Answer: Power Factor Correction (PFC) doesn't directly reduce the overall electric consumption of a device or system, but it does play a role in optimizing the efficiency of electrical systems, which can indirectly lead to...

Which RL(lead resistance from CT to relay) is to be used in Knee Voltage calculation if Current Transformers (CTs) used in High Impedance Restricted Earth...

Issue: Having two different values for RL ( Lead resistance from the CT to the relay); RL from the phase CT to the relay and RL from the neutral point CT to the relay Environment: Protection Function ANSI 64ref High impedance differential Sepam 80 Current Transformer requirement Resolution: In any...

What is an Electrical "Ground Loop" - How does it affect my equipment?

Issue: What is an electrical "ground loop" and how does it affect my equipment? Environment: Ground loops can occur in any situation where multiple electrical devices are interconnected, especially when those devices are powered from different sources or located in different places with varying...

Voltage, Current and Resistance Explained

Issue: How do I remember the relationship of voltage, current and resistance in an electrical system? Environment: N/A Solution: Voltage (unit of measurement - volt) is like the water pressure in the pipe. When you turn on a faucet, the water pressure makes the water flow out. Similarly, voltage...

What is the selection criterion of Circuit Breakers for the Capacitor bank application.

The selection should be done after derating the Circuit Breaker taking into consideration voltage variation and capacitors tolerances that could increase nominal current up to 1.5In. The Derating factor of 1.5In Where In = Q/ ( Square root of 3 ) Un Q = Capacitor Power Un = Nominal Voltage...
