Power Loss Calculation in Distribution Systems

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on identifying the best software for calculating power losses in distribution systems, specifically for medium voltage (15 kV) and low voltage (0.4 kV) systems. ETAP and ABB NEPLAN are highlighted as potential options, with ETAP being recommended for its capabilities. Users are encouraged to seek further confirmation on the effectiveness of these tools. The conversation also touches on the need for clarity regarding the type of distribution system being analyzed, whether AC or DC. Ultimately, the choice between ETAP and NEPLAN remains open for further discussion.

Hi Miki
welcome to PF :smile:

what sort of distribution system ? AC, DC, Hi voltage ? low voltage?

Hello,
a power distribution system which consist of 15 kv medium voltage and 0.4 kv low voltage

etap can do it

also ABB NEPLAN, maybe, seek confirmation from someone else.

which one is better (etap or neplan)?
 

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...
