Q&A Friday – January 10, 2025

Join me at 12:00PM Eastern on January 10, 2025. Just click above and book mark it.

Here is where we tackle questions  that have been made to some of my videos and that have come across my desk related to technical topics.  We will continue our discussion on selective coordination which is a topic that just won’t go away and take on a few more. I”ll keep this as a running list moving forward.  

Questions on the table

Selective coordination through a transformer. Do you have to selectively coordinate through a transformer? Don’t you stop at the primary and then restart your analysis on the secondary?

Where to find the maintenance of capacitors and power factor correction system?

Can we touch on the temp ratings of copper buss like a section of gear that service wires connect to. The bus feeds to the next section that has the Ultility ct and then main. Could the 90 rated wire and pressure connectors be code compliant? The service conductors would start at the utility transformer with 90 degree pressure connectors

Maybe this has been said, but I think that boat hoists are different from Boat Lifts. So both terms should be included, and defined. I think I boat hoist is one of those thing where you put your boat in the slip and then lift it (hoist it) out of the water for whenever it is not in use. The LIFT brings the the boat up and out to be stored elsewhere.


Last week’s Q&A Friday focused on questions related to selective coordination. You’ll have to check out the video post to find out some of the areas we explored. I’ll just tell you I had a blast and I think those who watched walked away with a bit more than what they came with.


TD University

So I’m exploring new things with introducing some educational content through UDEMY. We’ll see how that performs and maybe gets a little funding for the resources I’m bringing to the electrical safety world.

Transformer Protection

This class takes a loot at transformer protection and focuses on two dry-type transformers including a 75kVA and 500kVA transformer example.
