    NCEES Power #129

    I revisited this question again, since I am not used to factoring power factor when calculating volt drop in the real world, and found a slightly different approach published in the NEC Handbook that I would like to share. As a matter of preference, I found this method to be more methodical than...

    NCEES Power #115

    Good spot. The question number indeed should read #115 and not 114. I would fix but I can't figure out how to do it. Just though I should learn how to use the calculator as a way to double check the answer, and to save a precious minute. Especially if there are a number of integration problem...

    Thanks Mudpuppy. Now it make perfect sense with the expanded equation for Zbase.

    NCEES Power #107

    Sorry for missing the ^2 on the equation in original post. What I am confused about is the Z(line) of 50 ohms per phase in the question. The pu impedance seem to be calculated by dividing a phase value of 50 ohms against a line-line value derived from kV^2/kVA.

    NCEES Power #107

    The solution in the book is given as pu impedance = Zline/Zbase where Zbase = kVbase/kVAbase. With Zline given as 50 ohms per phase. Is it not incorrect to determine pu impedance using Zline per phase against Zbase established from 3-phase kV and kVA as the solution seem to suggest. Shouldn't...
