What are the operation modes of the disconnector？
Operation Methods：
-
Manual: Manual isolator switches are simple to operate and cost-effective. They are suitable for applications where operations are infrequent, speed is not critical, and operators can easily access the site.
-
Electric: Electric isolator switches are ideal for large substations and environments that require a high degree of automation. They enable remote control and automated operations but come with higher costs and the need for a stable power supply and complex control systems.
-
Pneumatic: Pneumatic isolator switches offer rapid and powerful operation, making them suitable for applications requiring high-speed operation and explosion-proof environments (such as chemical plants and refineries). However, they require a compressed air system.
Operation Frequency：
If the isolator switch needs to be operated frequently, it is important to consider its mechanical life and the reliability of the operating mechanism. For example, in substations where frequent switching operations are required, it is advisable to select isolator switches with long mechanical life and reliable, flexible operating mechanisms to reduce maintenance costs and the incidence of failures.

What are the principles of forced re-energization of transmission lines?Principles of Forced Re-energization of Transmission LinesRegulations for Forced Re-energization of Transmission Lines Correctly select the forced re-energization end of the line. If necessary, change the connection configuration before forced re-energization, taking into account the reduction of short-circuit capacity and its impact on grid stability. There must be a transformer with its neutral point directly grounded on the busbar at the forced re-energization end. Pay attention to the impactEdwiin09/04/2025 -
Analysis of Accident Handling in Transmission LinesAnalysis 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-Leon09/04/2025 -
The difference between transmission and distribution linesTransmission lines and distribution lines are both used to carry electrical power from one location to another. However, they differ significantly in key aspects such as primary function, voltage levels, phase configuration, and conductor placement. These differences are essential for understanding their distinct roles in the power system.The Difference Between Transmission and Distribution Line is given below in the tabulated form.Electricity generation is a critical component of the power systEdwiin09/04/2025 -

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" connectRockwell09/03/2025 -
Constant testing of high-voltage cable lines1. Definition of High-Voltage Cable Line Constant TestingHigh-voltage cable line constant testing refers to the systematic measurement, using specialized instruments, of electrical parameters such as resistance, inductance, capacitance, and conductance before a cable line is commissioned or after major maintenance. The aim is to obtain fundamental data characterizing the electromagnetic properties of the cable, serving as a critical testing phase that provides accurate parameter support for poweOliver Watts09/03/2025
