A common phenomenon observed during the operation of high voltage transmission devices is the occurrence of small arcs, mainly while operating devices like isolators. Here we briefly discuss why it occurs even when the...
Electrical isolation is a safety protocol that involves cutting off the electrical supply to a piece of equipment or an entire system. This is done to ensure that the equipment or system is not...
An isolator is a crucial component in the electrical power system. It is a type of switchgear that provides a means to disconnect a part of the electrical circuit when it is under no-load...
Earth Leakage Circuit Breakers (ELCB) and Residual Current Circuit Breakers (RCCB), while both share the purpose of safeguarding individuals, their approaches and functionalities differ significantly. ELCB (Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker) An ELCB, also known...
A Vacuum Circuit Breaker (VCB) is a type of circuit breaker where the arc quenching takes place in vacuum. The technology is suitable for medium voltage application with short-breaking capacity. A key component of...
Sulfur hexafluoride, commonly known as SF6, is a type of inorganic, colorless, odorless, non-flammable, and extremely potent greenhouse gas. It is used across various sectors, including the electrical industry, where it is widely recognized...
Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCBs) are a critical component in electrical safety, designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by excess current flow. They function by interrupting the electrical supply upon the detection...
A three-phase system is a common type of polyphase system, widely used in power generation, transmission, and distribution. It consists of three alternating currents (or voltages) that reach their peak values at different times....
• What is electromagnetism? Electromagnetism is a fascinating field of physics that studies the interactions between charged particles. It’s responsible for the electromagnetic force, one of the four fundamental forces in nature. This force...
Circuit breakers are a critical component in electrical systems, designed to interrupt the flow of electricity in the event of a fault or overload. Two key elements in the operation of circuit breakers are...
