Winter is coming, and it’s time to prepare your substation for the months ahead. With a little bit of work now, you can avoid many potential problems later. Here are 5 tips that will help you prep! Ensure the substation is clean and free of any debris: This includes snow, ice, dirt, leaves, and other […]
Vehicle To Home (V2H) Vehicle to Home or V2H is an electric vehicle (EV) charging technology that allows you to charge your vehicle from the comfort of your home. Basically, it turns your vehicle into a mobile power pack. For this to work, a vehicle has to be connected via its onboard charger with a
Circuit breaker and fuse are both used to protect your home from electrical fires. Fuses and circuit breakers do a similar job, but there is one major difference between the two that you should know about before deciding which one to use in your home. Fuses work by melting when they reach their limit of

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to objects in the physical world equipped with an IP address allowing devices to communicate wirelessly to collect and exchange data. The Internet of Things has become an integral part of our lives as we can connect with the Internet even if we’re away from home or office. However,

When doing the load flow study in the Simulink environment, we need to put the transmission line parameters in the Simulink block. In the question, typically, the parameters are given as per unit values. But when we put the values into the Simulink block, we need to put the actual resistance, inductance, and capacitance value
An IDMT (Inverse Definite Minimum Time) relay is a type of protective relay that is used to provide overcurrent protection for electrical systems. IDMT relays are commonly used in low-voltage and medium-voltage electrical systems to protect against overcurrents caused by fault conditions such as short circuits. IDMT relays work by monitoring the current flowing through
During electrical power calculation, typically we use the normal calculator, in which sometimes we make mistakes during ac power calculations. Ac power consists of a power factor which we have to take into consideration. Again for three phase we have consider root 3 facor. This simple calculator will reduce the possibility of making an error
Although both methods give protection against overload and thermal rise, both have their own pros and cons. Especially with the important objects, both methods are used because they complement each other. RTD basics We know metal has the property of varying resistivity with respect to temperature. This relationship is linear for some metals, over wide temperature
Why is both RTD temperature and thermal overload protection needed? Read More »
What is Buchholz Relay The Buchholz relay is a gas-actuated device that is used to protect against faults in transformers. Buchholz, the inventor of this relay, had originally designed it for incipient faults. This device can be located in the pipe connecting the conservator to the main tank and will give an alarm if there
Introduction Induction machines, also called asynchronous machines, can be used as generators or motors. Induction machines can be either of one or three-phase construction. The following discussion focuses on the three-phase machines and their properties. The maximum of the applications for three-phase induction machines is with power ranges varying from a few kilowatts to a
