Per Unit System: Problem Solved For Easy Understanding (continued)
In this post, we calculate the full load current drawn by the load. See linked post to view how the per unit impedances were calculated.
Electrical Concepts
Articles cover electrical concepts such as per unit systems, industry jargon, etc.
Why We Need Electrical Power Substations
We build substations for the following reasons: Practical Considerations for Power Substations To satisfy load growth When people or businesses move to a new location that has little to no power supply infrastructure, it might make a case for building a substation close to the community. Supplying this new load from remote substations is inefficient …
Per Unit System – Practice Problem Solved For Easy Understanding
Let’s understand the concept of per unit system by solving an example. In the one-line diagram below, the impedance of various components in a power system, typically derived from their nameplates, are presented. The task now is to normalize these values using a common base.
What Do Symmetrical, Asymmetrical, Momentary, Interrupting, Close & Latch Ratings Mean?
These terms were coined over a time period to identify the appropriate short circuit current magnitude that engineers could use to size the switchgears, switchboards, panelboards, and the circuit breakers.
Symmetrical Components – Demystified
Learning symmetrical components can be overwhelming if you are considering its mathematical aspect only. It is time to step back and understand this concept from a macro view.
