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...

The overall protection graph for Phase Overcurrent Protection (ANSI 50-51) is presented by multiple segments as follows: Calculation of tripping time in terms of settings for each curve/segment can be summarized as detailed in attached file.

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...

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.

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.

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...

The minimum breaking current of a fuse (or I3) is the minimum current value which causes the fuse to blow and break the current. For our range of MV fuses, these values are between 3 and 5 times the In value. For current values less than I3 , the fuse will blow, but may not break the current as...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Issue: What is Power Factor Correction (PFC) - Does it help conserve energy? Answer: Explanation 1: 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...

Register the Easy UPS with APC by Schneider Electric customer support. This is a one time process required to be done only during initial installation. The Easy UPS output cannot be turned on without successfully completing registration process. After successful completion of the registration...
