LOSS FACTOR


What is loss factor and how it is used in system's loss analysis?
When a loss study is performed on a particular item of equipment, peak load conditions are often assumed in the first analysis. After peak load losses are determined, the cost of these losses is computed using the calculated demand cost of losses. After peak load losses are figured, the total energy dissipated in losses over a year must be determined.


Since losses vary with the square of the load, they should not be calculated on the average load with the assumption that the result is the average losses. The only completely accurate way to calculate the average losses is to determine the load on the component for each hour of the whole year, make a separate loss calculation for each hour, and then average  the results. Obviously, this method is impractical for most applications, although it is sometimes carried out by computer for studies of large substation transformers. (TVPPA nov. 1994)

Fortunately, there is an easier method for determining average losses that can be carried out with minimal calculation. This method defines the LOSS FACTOR as the ratio of average losses to peak losses. Thus, formula for loss factor is as follows. (TVPPA nov.1994)


Estimating the Loss Factor

The loss factor's relationship to the load factor is nonlinear. Test made on typical electrical loads have revealed that the following formula offers a good approximation by which the loss factor can be calculated from the load factor: (TVPPA nov.1994)


The constants 0.2 and 0.8 are round off approximations to constants determined by various load studies. REA Bulletin 61-16 suggests that the constants 0.16 and 0.84 be used to estimate the loss factor.

PARTS OF A POWER TRANSFORMER

What are the name of the basic parts of a Power Transformer? We can not deny the fact that only a handful of electrical engineering students are presently familiar with power transformers especially on what it looks like. Unlike a transformer we found in our homes, a power transformer’s appearance and construction is somewhat more complicated. It is not just a simple winding with a primary and secondary terminal although basically any transformer has one. The function that a power transformer plays in an electrical system is very important that an electric utility can not afford to loss it during its operation. Our discussion here will focus more on the basic parts and functions of a power transformer that are usually tangible whenever you go to a substation . Although not all power transformers are identical, nonetheless they all have the following listed parts in which the way of construction may differ.

ELECTRIC MOTOR FRAME SIZE STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS

ELECTRIC MOTOR FRAME SIZE STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS How is electric motor frame size being specified? Motor frame dimensions have been standardized with a uniform frame size numbering system. This system was developed by NEMA and specific frame sizes have been assigned to standard motor ratings based on enclosure, horsepower and speed. The current standardized frames for integral horsepower induction motors ranges from 143T to 445T. These standards cover most motors in the range of one through two hundred horsepower. Typical example of where you can locate the frame is shown in Fig 1.2.D – Frame No. The numbers used to designate frame sizes have specific meanings based on the physical size of the motor. Some digits are related to the motor shaft height and the remaining digit or digits relate to the length of the motor. The rerate, or frame size reduction programs were brought about by advancements in motor technology relating mainly to higher temperature ratings of insulating mate

ELECTRIC MOTOR NAMEPLATE SPECIFICATIONS

How do we interpret an electric motor nameplate? Motor standards are established on a country by country basis.Fortunately though, the standards can be grouped into two major categories: NEMA and IEC (and its derivatives). In North America, the National Electric Manufacturers Association (NEMA) sets motor standards, including what should go on the nameplate (NEMA Standard MG 1-10.40 "Nameplate Marking for Medium Single-Phase and Polyphase Induction Motors").
