Transformer Bushing Types : RIP Bushing vs OIP Bushing
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) Bushing Resin Bonded Paper (RBP) Bushing Cast Epoxy Bushing You can read about all other types of electrical bushings in … [Read more...] about Transformer Bushing Types : RIP Bushing vs OIP Bushing
GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) – Working, Types, Installing and Troubleshooting
A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI or GFI) is an inexpensive electrical switchgear device that can either be installed in your electrical system or built into a power cord to protect you from severe electrical shocks. Electric shocks can cause severe injury or even death. Even exposure to current as low as 100 ma current for only 2 seconds can cause death. GFCIs … [Read more...] about GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) – Working, Types, Installing and Troubleshooting
Bundled Conductors in Transmission Lines
The combination of more than one conductor per phase in parallel suitably spaced from each other used in an overhead transmission line is defined as a bundled conductor. The individual conductor in a bundle is defined as a sub conductor. Bundled conductors in transmission lines are commonly used to increase electrical capacity and reduce corona and radio noise at voltages … [Read more...] about Bundled Conductors in Transmission Lines
