Per unit fault calculations is a method whereby system impedances and quantities are normalised across different voltage levels to a common base. By removing...
How often installations are inspected is up to the owner of the installation, provided such durations do not exceed any regulatory maximums in force. ...
Various arguments exist around SF6 Gas Insulated (GIS) and Air Insulated (AIS) medium voltage switchgear. Recently we had to change a GIS design to AI...
This is the second post in a series of two on periodic electrical inspections. In the first post, I discussed how often inspections should be carried out...
