Comparing power transformer health with human body health Power transformers are static electric machines used to step-up or step-down voltage in electric power applications. The capital cost of a power transformer in the range of 100MVA can be $1M or more, and by the time it is under operation, the price is increased. The average […]
10 tips to extend the life of your switchgear With increasing dependence on computers and automated processes, most modern facilities cannot afford downtime. And, as technologies, processes and user demands evolve over time, an electrical system must be able to support these changes. For companies with aging switchgear and budget constraints on capital improvement projects, […]
Difference between Class A, B, C, D, K and Z Type Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCB) MCBs are classified into different types based on its tripping characteristics that are the range of tripping fault current at which the device operates in the event of short circuit or overload. Type A Miniature Circuit Breakers Type A MCBs […]
How heat can be used to store renewable energy How can we store energy from intermittent renewable energy sources? The effect that fossil fuels are having on the climate emergency is driving an international push to use low-carbon sources of energy. At the moment, the best options for producing low-carbon energy on a large scale are wind […]
Rain may soon be an effective source of renewable energy A generator can briefly light up 100 LED bulbs with a single drop. There have been numerous attempt to generate electricity using rain, but this may be one of the more effective solutions yet. Researchers have developed a generator that uses a field-effect transistor-style structure to instantly produce […]
