When selecting a cable, the performance of the cable under fault conditions is an important consideration. It is important that calculations be carried...

If you are working on a large plan, get the real coordinates [latitude, longitude] for two or more points and add them to the drawing. That way you can...

At the beginning of the year China put the world's first 1,000 kV UHV transmission system into operation. Transmitting power at over a million volts is...

While not as popular as it once was, frame leakage protection does still have some use in some circumstances.  In essence frame leakage is an earth fault...

Low voltage (LV) switchrooms are common across all industries and one of the more common spatial requirements which need to be designed into a project...
