    How to calculate the effect of ground Enhansing material (GEM) in Earthing

    Can anyone advice me on how to take in the effect of Ground Enhansing Material (GEM) used in Electrical Earthing to reduse the earth resistance? in all the suppliers specification they only mension the GEM reduse the soil resistance drastically? so should i consider 1/5th,ro 1/10th or 1/100th...

    Lost Neutral on 3 Phase system - how do you calculate the effect on line voltage

    I know the effect of a lost neutral (floating neutral) on a 3 phase system, and the theory of why the line voltages can vary. However, I have been attempting to show this by calculating the line voltages of a phase system at given loads on each phase. Lets say:- Red 296 Amps, Yellow 279 Amps...

    How do you calculate the tollerances from a 3 phase winding measurement

    Assuming that you measure the windings for a power transformer, for example: A-B: 2,258 ohms B-C: 2,262 ohms A-C: 2,250 ohms, how do you calculate the tolerances for these? What formula do you use? You consider as reference the highest or the lowest value from every 2 readings? I just wanna...

    Level 3 Design Project - How to calculate Zs?

    So I’m doing my level 3 design project at the moment, and I’m on the question where you do all the calculations on each circuit, I’ve taken the max earth impedance from the regs, but it’s asking me for the earth fault loop impedance of the circuit. I think it’s asking me to calculate it, and I...

    How to calculate an MCB size

    I am doing a campervan conversion and have a 16A/250V shore power connection coming into a consumer unit which has two breakers - one for the AC input into a Victron Multiplus inverter and the other to go to a plug socket for non inverter loads. I would like to know how to size the MCB for the...

    how would i calculate the approximate frequency of the sinewave? see parameters below

    so suppose i have a single-pole (first-order) low-pass RC filter that gives me a unity gain upto the corner frequency of 1536Hz and i apply a 12V amplitude sinewave to the input of the filter and i am getting a sinewave with the amplitude of 4.1V from the output of the filter

    How to Calculate Size of Cut to Set Cable Tray

    I worked with cable tray about 40 years ago and remember I created a couple of simple formulae to work out how much triangular section of the cable tray to cut out to do various sets. I have tried to explain them below. The first one is when you know the angle you want to create and the second...

    What do I need to know to calculate size of single phase motor?

    About 20 years ago I bought an old table saw from a local school. I only had single phase at the time so I changed the motor and switchgear as it was 450V. I'm thinking of buying a 3 phase 50s bandsaw and have the same problem, but I can't remember how to work out the size of the replacement...
