What does 1 way, 2 way and intermediate light switching mean?

There are 3 basic types of switches that are used for domestic purposes: 1 Way Switches: If a light switch is ‘1 way’ this means it is just an on/off switch. This is the simplest type of switch that you can get. The single switch controls a single light (or lighting circuit). 2 Way Switches: A ‘2...

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...

Is there any equivalence between a class PX (class X) and a class "5P" current transformer?

You may use the below formula to find an equivalent current transformer of class "5P" that closely matches your actual class "PX" current transformer.

Why is the HHP ATV61 internal heat sink fan is not turning on when the drive is running?

Product Line : ATV61 Altivar 61 Environment : ATV61HD55M3X, ATV61HD75M3X, ATV61HD90M3X, ATV61HD90N4 - ATV61HC63N4, ATV61HC11Y - ATV61HC80Y Cause : Fan not turning on. Resolution : Check the "Drv. thermal state" in (Drive) Monitoring...

What are the G1, G2, G3 and Gx classifications for the ANSI Standard, ANSI/ISA S71.04-1985, “Environmental Conditions for Process Measurement and Control...

The G3 specification references the ANSI Standard, ANSI/ISA S71.04-1985, “Environmental Conditions for Process Measurement and Control Systems: Airborne Contaminants,” . The G reference refers to the severity and classification of the test and it can be G1 (Mild, Moderate, Harsh and Severe (G1, G2,...

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...

Power Monitoring Expert (PME) components, Vista, Designer, and Management Console fail to load.

Issue When attempting to open Vista, Designer or Management console it may fail with a warning that this module is not licensed or become stuck in a state of loading. Product line Power Monitoring Expert 7.2.x Power Monitoring Expert 8.x (applies to Base, Health Care, or Data Center Edition) Power...

What is the earth fault impedance?

Earth fault loop impedance is the path followed by fault current when a low impedance fault occurs between the phase conductor and earth, i.e. “earth fault loop”. Fault current is driven round the loop by the supply voltage. The higher the impedance, the lower the fault current will be and the...

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...

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...

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...
