Did you know you that the bay screens on the Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL) 700 series touch screen relays are extremely customizable? See the photo for an example of what you can do! Thanks to Destin Chan for building that specific bay screen. Great work! Reach out to us for your next electrical engineering project. #electricalengineering #powersystems #protectiverelays #switchgear #substations #relays #SEL787 #SEL751 #SEL700G
What do you gain by being bold in the engineering world? Does it payoff to communicate boldly... especially when dealing with project that are late, scheduling or budget issues, or technical challenges that seem insurmountable? In a word - absolutely! If a project is at risk of failure, is it better to hide it and posture, pretend everything is ok to the customer, and make false promises, or better to be open and transparent, and give an honest update and collaborate with the owner to find the best solutions? I know my preference! By communicating boldly (and being respectful while you're at it), you build trust with those you work with, and provide real value to others. The engineer who keeps problems or solutions to themselves isn't doing the world (or their customers) a favor... but by communicating it you open the door to better collaboration between all stakeholders, and bringing real value to everyone involved. This has been the essence of what I've been personally teaching our team at Delta Wye Engineering. I do this first by having it ingrained into our values, second by personally role modeling it in business and in my personal life, and third by demanding it of every one of my team members! If you made it this far, and you're looking for power systems engineering (from LV, MV and HV), please reach out to me, and I would be honored to tell you about what Delta Wye Engineering does, and how we communicate differently.

So we should all know that the universal colors for breaker status (in the power systems world) are as follows: 🟩 Green status = open 🟥 Red status = closed However, things get confusing when you look at the color of the physical pushbuttons located on new breakers. The photos below show several breakers, both LV and MV, where the status flag is as indicated above. But the pushbutton colors aren't based on the state that you want it to go to, rather the state that it would presently be in. For example: 🟩 Green pushbutton = push to close 🟥 Red pushbutton = push to open Why did someone come up with a convention that seems so confusing? I don't think the pushbutton colors have always been this way - conventions change over the years - I recall seeing green pushbuttons to trip and red pushbuttons to close in some older gear. There's at least one vendor who uses black as push to close to seemingly make things less confusing. But maybe this makes perfect sense to someone other than me? Anyone have some good history or thoughts on how we ended up where we are today? #breakers #switchgear #HV #MV #engineering #powersystems Delta Wye Engineering, Schneider Electric, Eaton, Siemens, ABB

Why are Neutral Grounding Resistors used at large industrial facilities such as P&P mills? What about variable frequency drives and neutral grounding resistors? What about grounding for medium voltage distribution systems, such as 13.8 kV? Why are 400 A resistors so common in medium voltage systems? What happens when you have multiple ground sources in one large distribution system such as multiple transformers, multiple generators, all with NGRs? These questions and more will get answered in a webinar that Bender is presenting in collaboration with Delta Wye Engineering. Jeff Glenney, Dale. Boyd, and Leo (Cole) Busch, and myself will be co-presenting. Registration link is ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/ei5cbuVv Looking forward to seeing you there! #NGR, #powersystems, #papermills, #pulpmills, #industrialpower, #grounding, #HRG, #LRG

How do you choose a substation transformer protective relay? Well, it turns out that between two of the larger relay manufacturers, (SEL and GE Multilin), there are a total of 15 different relays that offer transformer differential protection! Having a hard time choosing, here's a few steps you could take. 1. Use what you used last time. Usually not a terrible choice, but you might miss some features, or maybe it's obsolete, or maybe it doesn't apply at all for your application (i.e. 3-winding transformer but you last purchased a 2-winding transformer relay) 2. Go to a transformer protection comparison table. These are actually quite handy to get you on the right track. Here's a link to the SEL one https://lnkd.in/er3Dy3VR and here's a link to the GE one https://lnkd.in/eJYdWM9w 3. Spend some time digging and researching to make sure you'll get what you need. 4. If you can't figure it out from there or it seems like there are too many options, it's probably time to ask someone for help! (lots of other manufacturers too, these are just two of the most common ones I see in NA these days) #protectiverelays, #powersystems, #substations, #switchgear, Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL), GE Grid Solutions

Yesterday, I had a fantastic time attending the Global Energy Show at the newly revamped BMO Centre in Calgary, Alberta. Despite calling Calgary home and working here for over a decade, this was my first opportunity to experience this impressive event. It was a delight to connect with innovative businesses and individuals, and to share insights about our expertise at Delta Wye Engineering. The exhibits and discussions were inspiring and left me excited about the future of our industry! I look forward to leveraging these new connections and insights as we continue to support our customers with our power system expertise. #GlobalEnergyShow #EnergyInnovation #Networking #Calgary #DeltaWyeEngineering

Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL) just released a HUGE quality of life firmware update on the SEL-751 relays which adds a separate "manual trip" feature. Previously with the default logic there was no differentiation between a protective trip and a manual trip, which would sometimes cause a lot of confusion when the trip LED was active - was it protection, a trip handle, or did someone push the button? I'm sure there were a few different solutions out there to resolve this confusing. We would often use a separate SV variable with a drop-out timer for manual trips, and then not even put manual trips through the TRIP equation at all. But I'm looking forward to testing this out on future projects! Thanks Keenan Moe, P.Eng. for pointing this out when programming relays yesterday! #powersystems #engineering #protectiverelays #SEL751 #firmwareupdates
