The following explanation refers to the examples in Configuration A and Configuration B of the Bus Load Configuration Examples documentation.

The example below illustrates a configuration in which a single load with different operation modes is connected to a bus with or without a circuit.

Load Power Parameters

A three-phase asynchronous motor loaded at 75% of its rated power connected to a bus by a feeder circuit. The following parameters have been used:

  • Motor rated power = 10 kW

  • Break power = 7.5 kW

  • Coincidence factors:

    • X = 1

    • Y = 0.5

    • Z = 0.1

    • ZZ = 0.05

  • Efficiency and power factor at full load = 0.82

You can connect the motor to the bus via a feeder (indirect connection) or without a feeder (direct connection).

The following two images show the connection of Motor M-30 without a feeder.

In a single line diagram:

Load_Calc_SLD_1

The following two images show the connection of Motor M-2 to Bus A through a feeder.

In the Electrical Engineer:

Load_Calc_EI_2

In a single line diagram:

Load_Calc_SLD_2

The calculation results remain the same in both cases, regardless of whether the connection is direct or indirect.
