- 5 min basahinWhat size generator for a dairy shedSize a standby set for a dairy shed from its load list. The vacuum pump's start sets the size, then staggered steps, a drive and a soft starter shrink it.

- 3 min basahinArc flash boundary at a motor control centreArcing current, incident energy and arc flash boundary for a 400 V MCC at 25 kA with a 0.1 s clearing time, and why the equipment type moves the result.

- 5 min basahinCable tray fill for a plant room: a second tierLay ten multicore cables on a 300 mm perforated tray in one layer, see when it takes a second tier, and carry the grouping factor into the cable size.

- 3 min basahinMotor starting current for a 55 kW DOL startFull load current, DOL starting current, shaft speed and torque for a 55 kW four pole motor at 400 V, and what a soft starter or a VSD changes.

- 2 min basahinIP ratings for an outdoor point and a hosed shedWhich IP code an outdoor power point, a milking shed light and a hosed switchboard need, and why an IP67 light can fail where IP65 passes.

- 3 min basahinStarting a loaded conveyorA 22 kW conveyor that needs 120 % torque to break away. Why star-delta and a soft starter will not start it, and what a drive or autotransformer does.

- 4 min basahinMotor circuit for a 15 kW pump: DOL or star-deltaSize a 15 kW 400 V pump circuit: cable, breaker, contactor and overload relay. Compare DOL, star-delta, soft starter and drive starts.

- 3 min basahinTransformer secondary fault current for 500 kVAA 500 kVA 11 kV to 400 V transformer at 6 percent impedance, worked through to 721.69 A of secondary full load current and 12,028.13 A of fault current.

- 3 min basahinFactory power factor correction: 250 kW at 0.78A 250 kW factory load at 0.78 power factor lifted to 0.95. The kvar, the capacitor steps, the current saved, the kVA released and why the bank is detuned.

- 3 min basahinFault level at a sub‑board, 300 kVA transformerWork the prospective fault current at a sub-board 45 m from a 300 kVA transformer, three-phase and phase-earth, and check 6 kA and 10 kA breakers against it.

- 3 min basahinArc flash incident energy at a 400 V switchboardA 400 V board with 20 kA bolted fault and 0.2 s clearing gives 6.23 cal/cm² at 455 mm, an arcing current of 9.64 kA and a 1395.97 mm boundary.

- 3 min basahinIDMT curve grading for a 100 A feederTwo standard inverse relays at 2000 A give a feeder trip at 0.23 s, an incomer trip at 0.99 s and a grading margin of 0.76 s, read off one chart.

- 4 min basahinAS/NZS 3008.1.2 Tables 22 to 29: deratingWhat the derating tables govern, how ambient and grouping combine into one factor, and a 63 A feeder whose capacity falls to 78.85 A on 35 mm² copper.

- 3 min basahinAS/NZS 3008 Table 22 (now 3.33): bunched groupingAS/NZS 3008 Table 22 is the grouping table for bunched circuits, not a temperature table. The 2025 AU part calls it Table 3.33. Read it in the calculator.

- 5 min basahinAS/NZS 3008 vs BS 7671: cable sizing comparedHow BS 7671 and AS/NZS 3000 with AS/NZS 3008.1 size a cable, where they differ, and why a BS current rating never converts into an AS/NZS one.

- 4 min basahinAWG and the NEC for NZ and AU electriciansAWG sizes and the NEC set against AS/NZS 3000 and 3008.1. A gauge converts to mm², but its rating does not, and the NEC 3 % drop figure is only a note.
