Problems in electrical load design
Thread Content
For the equipment on the east side of chemical plants, many come with backup units. When designing the electrical load, should it be based on the normal operating load, or should both the standby and operating loads be taken into consideration? Please have an experienced poster discuss this.
Both standby and active loads need to be taken into account, with different coefficients applied based on the usage conditions.
In chemical processing plants, although there are many standby units among the moving equipment, their capacity cannot be ignored when considering the power load. When calculating the load, the power consumption of these standby units must be taken into account, and unlike ordinary plants, chemical processing plants use coefficients that are one level higher than those applied to regular plants.
Expert upstairs, could you give an example? Deepen our understanding.
