HV Switchgear

LTB vs DTB vs GIS: HV Circuit Breaker Comparison

The basic meaning of a high-voltage circuit breaker is, simply put, that under normal conditions, it is used to open (interrupt, trip) and close (make, reclose) circuits, feeders, or specific loads—such as those connected to transformers or capacitor banks. When a fault occurs in the power system, p

Converter

What are the hazards of high-order harmonics to electrical equipment?

Voltage distortion in AC power systems causes unequal intervals between the firing pulses of the control angle in conventional converters, and through positive feedback, it amplifies the system voltage distortion, resulting in unstable rectifier operation. In inverters, continuous commutation failur

Power transformer

Under what circumstances should an arc suppression coil be taken out of service when it is installed?

When installing an arc suppression coil, it is important to identify the conditions under which the coil should be taken out of service. The arc suppression coil should be disconnected under the following circumstances: When a transformer is being de-energized, the neutral-point disconnector must be

Power Distribution System

What are the advantages of using a common grounding system in power distribution, and what precautions should be taken?

What Is Common Grounding? Common grounding refers to the practice where a system’s functional (working) grounding, equipment protective grounding, and lightning protection grounding share a single grounding electrode system. Alternatively, it may mean that grounding conductors from multiple electric
