bus bar

                                          BUS BAR

            Bus bar is a group of conductor, which is used to carry the current from one place to another place. in bus bar, material like bronze, aluminium, copper are used as a bus bar. aluminium is good to use, because it is cheap, less in weight. The bus bar's are manufacture in the shape of rectangle, square, and round tubes. The most common of the bus-bars are 40x4mm (160 mm); 40x5 mm (200 mm2); 50x6 mm (300mm2); 60x8 mm (480 mm2) ; 80x8 (640 mm2) and 100x10 mm (1000 mm).


WHY BUS BAR'S ARE USED IN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:

             In some case using of bus bar's are most useful then the using of cables

EXAMPLE:  in a power plant or power distribution center, sometimes they handles high amount of power, for that cables aren't convenient. they might need a cable as thick as a firehose and six times as heavy to carry the current. If not cable can melt, In those cases, instead of using cable, we can just use slabs of metal instead.

ADVANTAGES OF BUS BAR :

       *  Bus bars reduce system cost 
       *  Improve reliability
       *  Increase capacitance
       *  Eliminate wiring errors
       *  They also lower inductance and increase                                   capacitance.  
       *  The physical structure of bus bar offers unique                       features in mechanical design.

DISADVANTAGES OF BUS BAR :

  • Commercially not viable if the number of switch gears is low
  • Specialists needed for construction of the busbar system from a wiring diagram
  • Lack of adapters for mounting different electrical devices on the busbar
  • Special type of busbars needed to construct busbar system which can carry current more than 800 Ampear

LAYOUT OF 110/11KV SUBSTATION

                   LAYOUT OF 110/11KV SUBSTATION: CIRCUIT DIAGRAM: THEORY : 1. The 3 phase 3 wire 110 KV feeder is tapped and brought to the Gang operated (GO) switch. The GO switch consists of isolators connected in each phase of the 3 phase line. 2. From the isolator the 110KV line is brought to the 110 KV Bus bar through Circuit Breaker (CB).  3. From the 110KV Bus bar, the 110 KV line is fed to the HT side of the 110KV/11KV stepdown transformer through Isolator. The transformer steps down the voltage to 11KV.  4. In fig.1.2. two 110/11KV transformers are connected from the 110 KV bus bar and the LT side of the power transformers are connected to the common 11KV Bus  through CB and Isolators. 5. From the 11KV Bus bar no of feeders are taken through  isolator and CB.  6. Lighting arresters are provided for protection from lightning and current transformers for...

SELECTION OF MOTORS FOR DIFFERENT DUTY CYCLES

   SELECTION OF MOTORS FOR DIFFERENT DUTY CYCLES : 1. Continuous duty cycle :                          It denotes the motor operation at a constant load torque to reach steady state temperature. The load time and. temperature time graph are shown in fig 1.1 EXAMPLES :               Paper mill drives compressors, conveyers, centrifugal pumps and fans                                              fig. 1.1 2. Short time duty :                   It denotes the operation of motor at constant load for short period followed by rest to cool down to the original starting temperature. Short time duty timings are generally 10, 30, 60 and 90 minutes. The load time and the temperature time graph are ...

FACTORS GOVERNING THE SELECTION OF MOTORS

                               FACTORS GOVERNING                                              THE                              SELECTION OF MOTORS :                 The following factors are taken into consideration while selecting a motor for industrial applications.  1. ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS  a) Running.characteristics b) Starting characteristics c) Speed control  d) Braking  a) RUNNING CHARACTERISTICS :                                     The running characteristics of a motor include the speed-torque or the speed-current characteristic...
