The Tan Delta Test, also known as the Loss Angle Test or Dissipation Factor Test, is a crucial diagnostic technique used in the field of electrical insulation testing. This test …
Pin type insulators are a critical component of electrical transmission systems, ensuring the safe and efficient transmission of electricity. Designed to withstand high voltages, these insulators provide insulation between overhead …
Percentage reactance of power system elements such as generator, transformer and reactor are extensively used in short circuit calculation when any fault occurs in the system. Most faults in the …
Load duration curves are used in power stations to illustrate the relationship between generating capacity requirements and capacity utilization. A load duration curve (LDC) is similar to a load curve …
A disconnect switch is a mechanical device that conducts electrical current and provides an open point in a circuit for isolation of circuit breakers, circuit switchers, power transformers, capacitor banks, …
If a person receives an electric shock, it is the utmost duty of the observer to rescue the person. The first step is to disconnect the person immediately from the …
What is a switching station? A switching station is a substation that does not contain power transformers and therefore does not change system voltage from one level to another. Switching …
In this article, you will learn different types of substation bus configuration and their application. The equipment and buses installed in the substation switchyard are arranged and connected in specific …
This article covers transformer impedance testing, one of the acceptances tests for new transformers, and a method for routine testing. The results of this test should compare directly to the …
An electrical substation is an integral part of a generation, transmission and distribution system. A substation can interrupt or establish electrical circuit, change the voltage, frequency or other characteristics of …
Transformer bushing types are categorized based on their material, manufacturing, and design mainly into the following types: OIP (Oil-Impregnated Paper) Bushing RIP (Resin Impregnated Paper) Bushing RIS (Resin Impregnated Synthetic) …
This article explains the measurement of three-phase power in star connected or delta connecter load using the wattmeter methods. The power in a three phase load can be measured by …
Definition A circuit breaker means the device which breaks (Open) the circuit under the abnormal condition and protects the system from hazards. The function of a circuit breaker is to isolate …
The assembly of the apparatus used to change some characteristic (e.g. voltage, a.c. to d.c., frequency, p.f etc.) of electric supply is called a sub-station. The four major types …
A current transformer (CT) is a type of transformer that is used to measure AC current. It produces an alternating current (AC) in its secondary which is proportional to the AC …
Ideal Transformer An ideal transformer is one that has no winding resistance no leakage flux i.e., the same flux links both the windings no iron losses (i.e., eddy current and …
