Load Flow Study

Pioneer Power Group — Mon, 16 Oct 2023 13:59:24 +0000

Pioneer Power Group was contracted to perform a load-flow study for a large commercial facility. The end goals of the load flow study were twofold. One study goal was to prove that the loading within the system would not cause voltages in the system to sag or swell to the point where system performance was impacted, or equipment would be damaged. A second goal of the study was to ensure that distribution equipment, transformers, and cables were not subjected to continuous currents above their rated values.
