Power systems: formulas and calculations you should know for transformers and motors
1:05:30
Dan Carnovale, Director Eaton Experience Centers, demonstrates calculations that are key to understanding power systems and commonly used by electrical consultants. These formulas are focused on three-phase power components, specifically transformers and motors. Dan starts off by explaining the importance of the three-phase power analysis formula and why one-line diagrams are helpful to have. Transformer calculations cover: • Dry-type (standard and isolation transformers) • Pole-mounted transformers (single-phase and three-phase) • Pad-mounted transformers • Substation transformers Specifically, we calculate full load amps on the primary and secondary, fault current on the secondary, and breaker/fuse size and kA rating. Dan also talks about infinite bus and what that means for impedance. For motors starting calculations: • Simplified motor starting analysis (hand calculations and thresholds of concern) • Formal motor starting computer simulations • Demand charges • Motor inrush And lastly, Dan discusses the power triangle (real power, reactive power and apparent power) and give examples of power factor correction. This video is a great introduction to power system calculations or if you’ve ever asked yourself one of these questions: • How to calculate power, current, voltage? • How to calculate load current? • How do I calculate full load amps? • How do I calculate power factor? • How do I calculate power? • How do I calculate on a per unit system? • How do I calculate transformer ratings? • How do I calculate motor inrush current? • How do I calculate impedance? • How do I calculate demand charges? • Why do the lights flicker? • What is a per unit system? • What is power factor? • What is kVA?
