Switchgear In an electric power system, switchgear is the combination of electrical disconnect switches, fuses or circuit breakers used to control, protect and isolate electrical equipment. Switchgear is used both to de-energize equipment to allow work to be done and to clear faults downstream. This type of equipment is … Read More
Overhead Powerlines An overhead power line is a structure used in electric power transmission and distribution to transmit electrical energy along large distances.It consists of one or more conductors(commonly multiples of three) suspended by towers or poles. Since most of the insulation is provided by air, overhead power lines are generally the … Read More
Switchboards & Panels Inside a switchboard there will be one or more busbars. These are flat strips of copper or aluminum, to which the switchgear is connected. Busbars carry large currentsthrough the switchboard, and are supported by insulators. Bare busbars are common, … Read More
Generators An engine-generator is the combination of an electrical generator and an engine (prime mover) mounted together to form a single piece of self-contained equipment. The engines used are usually piston engines, but gas turbines can also be used. And there are even hybrid … Read More
Electical Transformer Definition A transformer is an electrical device that transfers electrical energy between two or more circuits through electromagnetic induction. Electromagnetic induction produces an electromotive force across a conductor which is exposed to time varying magnetic fields. Commonly, transformers are used to … Read More
Custom Built Purification Plants Transformer ratings require high quality and high purity insulating oils at the point of use. The increasing voltage and rating of the modern transformer and electrical apparatus results in greater electrical stress in insulating material and … Read More
