High voltage circuit breaker

As we know about circuit breaker is to protect electrical equipment from abnormal condition such as over load current or short circuit.For Low voltage circuit breaker,i already explain on my last post.Please read my post about miniature circuit breaker (MCB),molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) and residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) for more detail information. For [...]

Measuaring motor insulation using HI POT tester

When we need to evaluate the motor condition,HI-POT tester or High Potential tester is the common equipment are used.As we know,a multimeter or ohm meter reading only can determine if a motor winding is open or shorted but cannot checked winding insulation condition if shorted with ground or phase. The main purpose of the Hi [...]

Current rating

Why current rating value is so important for cable/wire sizing?This time i want share some information about cable rating.It look like simple value but it give the big impact when we not do the proper sizing to the cable for our application. If during cable sizing calculation not done in proper way,it can cause a [...]

Fault protection

A new terminology for electrical currents now include all faults those between live conductors as well as earth or grounding faults. If we not design our circuit protection properly followed standard guide,it can cause serious injury or death for human and equipment damage. Fault current be determined at every relevant point. For small and medium [...]

Types of Relay

In automation industries,relay is a common device used for control application.Basic operation of  electrical relay is a device that changes the state of a circuit in response to it being energized or de-energized by that or another circuit. It function to open or close the circuit or contact and respond depend on signal that we [...]
