LV Switchgear

What are the causes of failures in low-voltage switchgear circuit breakers themselves?

Based on years of field statistics on switchgear accidents, combined with analysis focusing on the circuit breaker itself, the main causes have been identified as: failure of operation mechanism; insulation faults; poor breaking and closing performance; and poor conductivity. 1.Failure of Operation

10kV Distribution Lines

What Are the Factors Influencing the Impact of Lightning on 10kV Distribution Lines?

1. Induced Lightning Overvoltage Induced lightning overvoltage refers to the transient overvoltage generated on overhead distribution lines due to nearby lightning discharges, even when the line is not directly struck. When a lightning flash occurs in the vicinity, it induces a large amount of charg

Compact Air-Insulated RMUs for Retrofit & New Substations

Air-insulated ring main units (RMUs) are defined in contrast to compact gas-insulated RMUs. Early air-insulated RMUs used vacuum or puffer-type load switches from VEI, as well as gas-generating load switches. Later, with the widespread adoption of the SM6 series, it became the mainstream solution fo

Standards and Calculation of LTAC Test for Power Transformers

1 Introduction According to the provisions of the national standard GB/T 1094.3-2017, the primary purpose of the line terminal AC withstand voltage test (LTAC) for power transformers is to evaluate the AC dielectric strength from the high-voltage winding terminals to ground. It does not serve to ass

Busbar-Side Grounding for 24kV Eco-Friendly RMUs: Why & How

Solid insulation assistance combined with dry air insulation is a development direction for 24 kV ring main units. By balancing insulation performance and compactness, the use of solid auxiliary insulation allows passing insulation tests without significantly increasing phase-to-phase or phase-to-gr

How Vacuum Tech Replaces SF6 in Modern Ring Main Units

Ring main units (RMUs) are used in secondary power distribution, directly connecting to end-users such as residential communities, construction sites, commercial buildings, highways, etc. In a residential substation, the RMU introduces 12 kV medium voltage, which is then stepped down to 380 V low vo

Grid Harmonics: Hidden Threat to Electrical Assets

When Actual Grid THD Exceeds Limits (e.g., Voltage THDv 5%, Current THDi 10%), It Causes Organic Damage to Equipment Across the Entire Power Chain — Transmission → Distribution → Generation → Control → Consumption. The Core Mechanisms Are Additional Losses, Resonant Overcurrent, Torque Fluctuations,

Harmonic THD Impact: From Grid to Equipment

The impact of harmonic THD errors on power systems must be analyzed from two aspects: "actual grid THD exceeding limits (excessive harmonic content)" and "THD measurement errors (inaccurate monitoring)" — the former directly damages system equipment and stability, while the latter leads to improper
