Electrical Question

shano04 · 2004-05-31 12:07:56

Can anyone tell me the regulation for the protection of a Three Phase Electric Immersion. I think an ELCB/RCBO but I'm not sure. Also what is KVAR, I know what it stands for what exactly does it mean?

Hmmm... well I know kVAr is kilo volt amp reactor; basically this is used to measure the 'wasted power' in a reactive device like a motor. i.e. the amount of power supplied that doesn't any operating affect of the equipment. The lower the better.

As for the 3 phase immersion , don't know the combination of the protection circuits. Sorry.
