Ground Fault Protection Testing Done Right
It’s important to always test ground fault protection systems during commissioning to avoid nuisance trips.
How to Reduce Potential Injury Resulting from an Arc Flash Event
There are only three levers available to reduce an arc flash event’s potential injury to electrical workers: energy, time, and distance.
Proper Maintenance for Your DC Battery Systems
If DC battery systems are not properly maintained and monitored, the safe operation of the entire power system could be in jeopardy.
Mistakes to Avoid When Installing Medium-Voltage Cable
Poorly installed medium-voltage cable could result in faults and make troubleshooting those faults much more difficult.
The Challenges of Troubleshooting Legacy Transformer Trips
Identify and correct issues in systems without modern substation controls and communications systems.
Proper Arc-Flash Study Practices Ensure Accuracy and Quality
Performing arc-flash studies for low-voltage power distribution equipment can present challenges that require engineering judgement and proper documentation.
Maintain SF6 Equipment for Safety and Reliability
SF6 gas is used to quench the arc that is created when a breaker interrupts a fault in high- and extra-high voltage equipment. Maintenance is key to keeping SF6 equipment operating safely.
Good Habits Ensure That Electrical Substations Run Smoothly
Avoid normalizing bad habits to improve safety and reliability in your electrical substation.
Arc Flash Mitigation: Standards and Field Service Maintenance Are Key
Keeping up with standards and regular testing, maintenance, and field service help mitigate arc flash risks.
How Field Service Reduces Arc-Flash Dangers
Ensuring regular testing, maintenance, and field service can help mitigate the danger arc flash poses for people and property.
