bus duct between transformer and frequency converter - Electric …
May 23, 2015 · The bus duct shall cover distance of less than 30 feet. The question is what is your experience on this type of connection (bus duct) given the high turn ratio transformer and resulting high number of connections between transformer secondary and VFD ? are there any technical limitations or issues you could identify? Any orientation is appreciated.
Bus bar bracing - Electric motors & generators engineering - Eng …
Jun 21, 2006 · I braced the bus bar on about 2 feet intervals meaning supported to frame front and back. I was referring to the distance between insulators. Most of our applications are low voltage, 480 down. The question is: Is there a table (other than the one I have) that will give me insulator centers based on bus sizes and spacing between buses edge up?
Silver plated versus tin plated copper bus - Electric power ...
Nov 28, 2006 · Silver has better bus-to-bus conductivity however, so it is preferrable wherever it can be used without problems. But because of the whiskering issue, some manufacturers have started offering tin as standard and charging a premium for silver. JRaef.com "Engineers like to …
Requirement for spacing between bus bars in 600V switchgear
Feb 25, 2006 · I was once told that 1" was required between adjacent phase bus bars, and given that I learned that the dielectric strength of air is approx. 3kV/mm (7.62kV/in), 1" is more than enough. But I was just curious about what the code requirement was. …
Bus duct: segregated vs non-segregated - Electric motors
Jan 22, 2002 · Segregated buses or bus ducts tend to be more expensive and used for lower voltages as well as high voltages, depending on the application and interpretation of the segregated bus. Therefore, the proper answer appears to be "it depends on circumstances."
ETAP error 101-01 - Bus base kV is 40% different from Nominal kV …
Jul 11, 2014 · The nominal voltages I have to type in, the base voltages are calculated by ETAP starting from the swing bus (read this on the help file) using the transformers ratios; what happens is that the message appears already for the swing bus itself ! That means that all system busses have this problem as the software can't even pass the first one.
Minimum distance requirement between bus bars and enclosure
Mar 21, 2022 · The bus bars are mounted inside the panel via 1.25" tall insulator mounts. Each bus bar is spaced 1.5" away from the next closest bus bar and also separated via a sheet of 1/4" thick Garolite. The closest distance I have between the bus bars and the panel itself is 0.6" with the panel doors closed.
