Tawfiq... my email address is: cepsicon[at]AOL[dot]com Phil

To those who are interested in learning the solution to the Electrical Power Transmission puzzle, contact me off-list! Phil (cepsicon[at]AOL[dot]com)

TAwfig... if you are contemplating "wireless" methodology to reduce the jangle of cables and wires (telecomunications, controls, ESD, metering, lighting, bonding, etc) associated with liquid-transfer between the ship and shore, then contact me for a solution. It was implemented on a fleet of...

Nam… whether or not the second generator is on line is incidental. Only one is necessary to solve the puzzle. Phil

Gentlepeople... don't quit so soon! To simplfy problem, here is Hint No. 6: Isolate one of the two generating plants, so that the entire 100 mile line is served from a single generating plant. Beware The Ides of March, Phil Corso

Sumeet... A1) No! A2) No! Hint no. 5: Read Hint No.1 again! Phil

Nam... No, you do not make a second loop! Hint No. 4: Closing the breaker just closes the loop! Phil

Sunil... to clarify your understanding, they were and still are, connected via the 100-mile circuit. Hint No. 3: phase-to-phase voltage magnitudes are equal!

Sorry Bob... I did not see your response, "HUH?" I guess that was directed at Nam! Phil

Wael… if the motor's nameplate gives its rated temperature-rise there is way to obtain the information you seek! Determine its temperature-rise over ambient, then, Hp(out), kW(in), kVA(in), PF, and Efficiency, can be derived, with reasonable accuracy! Please note, this was the procedure...

Nam & Bob... both of you are wrong! Hint 2: The generators are, indeed, synchronized! Phil

Sorry, Sadar9... Hint No. 1 should have read, "A SINE-wave... ! Phil

Sardar9... good start. Reur attempt to "picture" the situation, imagine a 100 mile loop, which is "open" at the substation between the two plants. Here is hint No. 1, "A wave of any frequency is still a wave!" Phil

Hesham… The reason for contacting me off-forum is that I need detail about your application. The schematic in Schmooot’s case covered a 1.5 Hp, single-phase, dual-voltage, start-cap, run-cap, motor, which had been substituted for a 3-phase motor. The conversion was more involved because of...

Hesham... please contact me off-forum. Regards, Phil Corso (cepsicon[at]AOL[dot]com)

Vince... further to my earlier post: Total length of single-core cable (if selected) is 3.6km. Total length of 3-core+earth cable (if selected) is 1.2km! Y-D motor, in run-mode is comprised of qty 3 phase-to-phase loads! Then, for VD-calc, distance is taken as 1.2km, and not 0.6km...

Vince... yes! There are two concerns: 1) Economics. There are six leads, so the an additional de-ratng factor must be used, which will increase the conductor size (mmq) as well as the conduit size (if used)! 2) Voltage-Drop. During Start & Run, the two sets of conductors are in series...

SKG... thank you for the sketch. Several more questions: 1) Is wind-power plant (or Wind-farm or WPP) provided with typical induction-generators or self-excited induction-generators? 2) Is Rev-Pwr alarm actually 1.5 x Gen rating, or is it 1.5 x power required to motor the turbine? (or was...

Ashkan... I believe you are trying to solve the "classic" transient-stability problem. My interpretation is, "For any load change can torque-angle measurement preempt AVR response?" If your answer is NO!... fuhgeddaboutit! If YES, then contact me for several references I can send to you...
