Capacitor Banks Do Need Maintenance
There is a norm that since capacitor banks are static type electrical equipment, regular maintenance is not required. But capacitors need to be monitored and maintained regularly. The unawareness and the negligence of the users may leads to reduce the life expectancy or failures of the capacitors which would cause an ultimate loss for your […]
Temperature Rise During Short Circuit
During a short circuit there will be electromagnetic forces which determine the required busbar size and the support size. In addition to that we need to be careful about the extreme overheating of the busbars due to the high current, which leads to softening of the material and damage to the support structure. At […]
Effect-of-curing-oven-temperature-on-final-product-quality-powder-coating-process
Powder coating is a method of coating a substrate in a polymer powder via directional spray equipment. In this method, the powder is carried out of the spray equipment with low pressure air and the Spray gun applies an electrostatic charge to the powder particles, which are then attracted to the grounded part. After […]
Service Condition Monitoring System for Low Voltage Electrical Panels
For low voltage electrical panels, it is very important to know the service condition to Plan/conduct appropriate maintenance schedules. Operating temperature, relative humidity, and the operating frequency of the circuit breaker are the key factors to be monitored. In this research paper, the author describes how to use his new development “Service condition Analyzer […]
Environmental factors – Corrosion free Sheet metal Enclosures
Did you ever speak to your switchboard design team whether they are considering the panel location and environmental conditions when selecting the sheet metal enclosures for your Switchboards? Whether you are using Unibody or Modular enclosure, this is an important question. Take a little time to read below Basic environment conditions that should […]
Temperature Rise in Electrical panel boards
METHOD TO ASSESS THE TEMPERATURE RISE INSIDE A LOW VOLTAGE PANEL BOARD INTRODUCTION In order to assess the temperature rise of the air inside the low voltage panel board, a method is proposed in IEC 60890 ( A method of temperature-rise assessment by extrapolation for partially type-tested assemblies ( PTTA ) of low-voltage switch […]
Maintaining the Reliability of an Electrical System for Fire Pumps
Abstract – Protection from fire hazards is a combined effort of studying and practicing the techniques which are used to mitigate the destructive effects of an unintended fire in a property. In order to minimize the damage created by these fire hazards, the protection system should proviron mily sport rolo high be erected according to the respective laws […]
Remote Monitoring and Analyzing of Low Voltage Distribution System
Electricity distribution is the final stage in the delivery of electricity from generating power plants to end users. A distribution system’s network carries electricity from the transmission system and delivers its load centers. It is the most visible part of the power supply chain, and as such the most exposed to the critical observation of […]
Minimizing the Effects of Electrical Arc Fault in an Installation
Abstract: This paper presents an overview of the electric arc faults which can be originated in electrical devices such as electrical panel boards. There are many codes and standards which are used to define the constraints that an installation should maintained to minimize the severity, frequency and harmfulness of an electrical arc fault. For an […]
