Motor Bus Transfer (MBT) Seminar - IEEE Std. C37.96-2012
This seminar will explore several new findings from recent research regarding motorbus transfer. Recent IEEE PSRCC work has demonstrated that a long-held transfer acceptance criterion has poor correlation to motor torque and gives passing grades to severely excessive torques upon transfer. Time-based transfer criteria are ineffective and permit severely out-of-phase transfers or conversely may preclude perfectly good synchronous transfers. A Motor Bus Torque Ratio metric is proposed as the aggregate peak torque at transfer expressed as a multiple of the aggregate load torque prior to transfer and displays a high correlation to the phase angle at transfer with little effect from voltage or frequency difference at transfer. If it is torque that reduces the life expectancy and damages motors or driven equipment, or both, as suggested in industry standards, then the industry must use a torque-based criterion to assess if transfers are being completed within acceptable torque limits. The seminar will cover the following:
