AI Thread Summary
Setting MVAR limits of a Slack bus to zero for both maximum and minimum during load flow analysis is possible, but it may not yield a convergent solution. The negative sign in the limit indicates whether the reactive power is leading or lagging. If the slack bus generates -373 MVAR, it exceeds the specified minimum limit of -42.7 MVAR. The discussion also prompts inquiries about the specific software being used and requests for a power flow diagram. Overall, understanding the implications of MVAR limits is crucial for effective load flow analysis.

Question related to Slack bus ( help please ) !

Can we set the MVAR limits of a Slack bus as Zero ( for both MAx. and Min. limits ) during operating load flow program !?

and what does the minus sign exactly mean when it's written in the limit , such this one :
Qmin. (MVAR) = -42.7
Qmax. (MVAR ) = 97

if the slack generates -373...did the limit is already exceeded !?
PS : excitation is 105%

thanks for your attention.

You can, but you probably will not converge on a solution.

and what does the minus sign exactly mean when it's written in the limit , such this one :
Qmin. (MVAR) = -42.7
Qmax. (MVAR ) = 97

Sign denotes leading vs. lagging.

thanks for your attention.

Which program are you using? Can you post your power flow diagram?
(Is this homework?)
 

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
