Application Note INTRODUCTION Voltage sags, or dips are the most common type of power quality (PQ) event. Knowing the directivity of the sag, or where it originated, is very import when trying to locate its source and to ultimately mitigate the problem. This application note outlines some rules of thumb to help determine the directivityContinue reading “Determining Sag Directivity”

Loose Bus Bar Bolts Cause Sags
Published by Dranetz – BMI Case Studies An administration building in a government complex in New Jersey had a transformer with a 4KV primary, 120/208V wye, 800A secondary. The buss duct ran up to a second-floor panel, which supplied an office area. Computer misoperations and lights flickering were occurring randomly for nearly two years. EmergencyContinue reading “Loose Bus Bar Bolts Cause Sags”
