Analysis of Accident Handling in Transmission Lines
Analysis of Transmission Line Fault HandlingAs a fundamental component of the power grid, transmission lines are widely distributed and numerous, often exposed to diverse geographical and climatic conditions, making them highly susceptible to faults. Common causes include overvoltage, pollution flashover, insulation damage, tree encroachment, and external damage. Line tripping is one of the most frequent faults in power plant and substation operations, with fault types including single-phase-to-

How does a transformer work?
Transformer Operation PrincipleA transformer is an electrical device that operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction to transfer electrical energy from one circuit to another. It enables the adjustment of voltage levels within an alternating current (AC) system, either stepping up (increasing) or stepping down (decreasing) voltage while maintaining the same frequency.Working Principle:Basic ComponentsA transformer consists of two coils, known as windings—the "primary winding" connect
