    NEC - Capacitors with motors

    Found somewhere in the board, may be useful for discussion. "If a motor with 60A needs a feeder ckt of 1.25*60=72A  and a capacitor rated for 60A is connected somewhere near motor terminals ( A hypothetical case for understanding purpose only), will the motor feeder ckt conductors now required...

    Double line to ground fault

    Graffeo Ex 53: In this example, for Double line to ground fault current only Ib is considered here which is incorrect. I think the fault current shall be "Ib+Ic" or "3 x Ia0" which will lead to the answer "j10.71". Please correct me if i am wrong.

    Calculate apparent power when real power given in PU

    Question states : "A 3-phase, 22 kV, 500 MVA star-connected synchronous generator has a reactance Xs of 1.5 pu and supplies 0.8 pu real power (P) at the rated voltage, with a lagging power factor of 0.6 to the load.Calculate the magnitude of the actual complex power consumed by the load in MVA."...

    PU & X/R ratio relationship

    Cut sheets are taken form old thread (link at the end) Question) Ans: (only initial description, no calculation) Any idea how PU impedance of generator is 0.1 pu? I couldn't understand how identical X/R ratios leads to ratio of powers that provides PU impedance of GEN. Please go through the...

    Wildi: Ind. Motor

    If i change the P (hp) to P (watt) and use the formula P=sq.rt(3) x VI, the value of current will be 93.6 A. This is different from the answer in the example as, I=600Ph / E. Am i missing something here. Cuz in exam for these kind of question, the first thing i will remember is P=sq.rt(3) x...
