204 Motor Starting Analysis and Application with PTW 2-Day Training

  
 
     
 

Objectives:

  • Review of fundamental considerations for motor starting, including motor fundamentals, theory, application and common motor starting techniques
  • Discussion of the effects of motor starting on electrical distribution systems
  • Presentation of several practical examples of motor starting in a laboratory environment
  • Presentation of several class examples that will help students gain a basic understanding of motor starting performance calculations
  • Discuss issues and examine study results, potential problem areas and implementation of study recommendations

Prerequisites:

  • Basic computer skills
  • SKM Power*Tools Standard 3-Day and Advanced 2-Day Training OR Hands-On 2- Day Training, OR working knowledge of SKM PTW Software
  • Students are urged to review:
    • IEEE Brown Book Std 399 - 1997, chapter 9
    • IEEE Red Book Std 141-1993, chapter 10

Course Description:

This course involves the application of the Power*Tools program to analyze a sample AC electrical distribution system containing various sizes of motors utilizing different starting techniques. A motor starting analysis of the distribution system will be reviewed and then performed using the software. Students will earn 1.6 CEUs for this 2-day course.

  
 

Typical Industrial and Commercial Power System Example:

  • Data gathering and input data requirement
  • Exposure to load flow analysis to the extent to establish initial conditions for motor starting analysis
  • Comparison of induction motor models available: single rotor and double rotor circuits vs. graphical model
  • Review of data required to properly model the motor to be started
  • Understanding of the motor performance test data including torque slip vs. slip, current vs. slip, hot and cold start thermal limits, etc.
  • Importance of inertia, both motor and load, on motor starting
  • Discussion of various motor starting methods: delta-wye, autotransformer, capacitor, and soft-start
  • Examination and interpretation of PTW study results and potential problem areas in the power system
  • Discussion of methods and procedures for completing a typical study
  • Overview of motor protection and relationship to motor starting methods
  • Discussion of compliance with various standards and requirements

Hands-On Lab - Analysis of a Sample Electrical Distribution System in PTW:

  • Interpretation of Equipment datasheets
  • Data gathering, data input and system modeling
  • Relationship between Load Flow results and Motor Starting study
  • Examination of specific motor starting technique being utilized
  • Verifying compliance with related codes and standards
  • Discussion of study results and methods to improve distribution system
