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...

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...

What is the definition of ANSI 50V/51V - Voltage-restrained overcurrent?

Phase-to-phase short-circuit protection, for generators. The current tripping set point is voltage-adjusted in order to be sensitive to faults close to the generator which cause voltage drops and...

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...

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...

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...

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...

What is the Restricted earth fault protection and how to implement on Low...

The restricted earth fault protection (ANSI 64REF) can be applied if the downstream power system neutral is earthed at the transformer (document attached). This is a differential protection function...

In a 3 phase system, why does the meter still show voltage reading on one...

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...

Which RL(lead resistance from CT to relay) is to be used in Knee Voltage...

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...

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,...

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...

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

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...
