    Motor FLC, Rated current, running current and nominal current.

    Good evening, 1) Is the motor current on the nameplate always the full load current: the maximum current the motor can draw without there being damage to its winding insulation. 2) Often in motor books, I see the term nominal current? is this the current that the motor draws under normal...

    Nominal Voltage

    Why has nominal voltage gone from 250Volts back in the good old days, to 240Volts, several years ago, to 230Volts more recently? What is the legal max and min tolerance in the 230Volt level?

    nominal current rating of main switch

    hi guys if installing a shower consumer unit with a 63amp rcd main switch and a 100 amp OPD PRIMARY SUPPLY then main switch is of a lesser value than the main over current protective device how do we get around this.

    volt drop calcs and 230 v

    why do we have to do the calcs to 230v when the supply never is 230v measured voltage at source is 248 volts at the site i am on at the moment , can somebody shed some logic on the idea before i start engineering an 18 volt drop into my cable sizes ( a joke of course but why not ? ) :ihih:

    Inverter nominal power ratio

    hi guys, i'm doing my MCS in the next few days, originally i was installing 12 x 250W panels. the mounting kit i've been supplied with hasn't got enough roof brackets so i can only install 9 panels. i already have the SB3000HF inverter however. Using sunny design it tells me that the system is...

    Table of info from DNO

    Is there any such thing called Table of info from DNO that, for a given main fuse rating and nominal voltage and Ze, you have the info for maximum PFC and so on? For instance what could be the PFC for a 230 volts nominal voltage and 0.8 ohms Ze? Thanks

    disconnection times v voltage bands

    Guys BS 7671 table 41.1 shows that a disconnection time of 0.4 secs for 120<volts to <inc 230 volts, and a disconnection time of 0.2 at 230< to < inc 400v. (TN systems). My query is with a 10%+/- tolerance which could possibly increase 230 volts to 253 volts hence taking your 230v 0.4s disc...

    Sunny Design - What is optimal Nominal Power Ratio?

    I'm getting confused - can anyone clarify what is the most desirable Nominal Power Ratio? In both versions of Sunny Design it say in inverter compatibility that the ration should be in the range of 80% to 120% but what is most desirable? Are we looking to get as close to 100% as possible or as...
