When looking at the electrical aspects of a building or business, you need specialist knowledge to bring all of the systems together and get them working in the way that you need them to. This could be anything from lighting and data to overall power, circuitry and transmission systems.These can be a minefield for the uninitiated, and so seeking the help of an electrical design consultant can be ...
What is Cable Bus? Cable Bus is a power distribution system using multiple parallel conductors braced in a rigid enclosure. A standard range of Cable Bus systems are available from 600 volts to 218,000 volts and up to 10,400 amps. However, Cable Bus systems are adaptable and can be conducted to suit a customer’s particular requirements. Cable Bus can be used in a wide range of utilities, ...
An HV power distribution system simply means a high voltage distribution system while an LV is a low voltage or tension power distribution system. ...
Modular power distribution systems typically feature polymer enclosures, which are lightweight and easy to install. Sometimes, however, the application or environment calls for stainless steel enclosures. That’s where our SpecMAXX system comes in. Intended for industrial and commercial use, SpecMAXX features 304 stainless steel, UL-approved enclosures with 15-degree sloped roofs that shed ...
Distribution Transformer: An Essential Component of Power Distribution Systems As you go about your daily life, you probably take for granted that electricity is readily available to power your home and business. However, there is a complex system in place that allows for the efficient distribution of electrical power, and one key component of this system is the distribution transformer. What ...

There are several key differences between a dry-type transformer and an oil-filled transformer. The main differences include the type of insulation used, the cooling method, the size and weight, and the applications for which they are typically used. One of the main differences between a dry-type transformer and an oil-filled transformer is the type of insulation used. A dry-type transformer ...

The common symbol for current is the uppercase letter I. The standard unit is the ampere, symbolized by A. 3. Power, is the amount of energy transferred or converted per unit time. 4. Electricity,Power multiplication time. It is used to measure the amount of electricity, which is a unit of energy. ...
Clarke Energy’s Global Reach and Local Focus was evident recently when Ty Martin, South Pacific Kohler Technical Support Manager, travelled from Australia to Papua New Guinea to provide specialised training to Kohler dealer ECM in Port Moresby. Clarke Energy’s combined approach of theoretical training followed by practical application means all technicians are trained using the exact ...
A reliable, continual power supply is critical to any industrial process to prevent costly interruptions. But nowhere is it more critical than in a sterile environment that handles aseptic / Biological manufacturing. An interruption can lead to discarding entire batches of products, potentially costing producers hundreds of thousands of dollars. That’s why an industrial uninterruptible ...
In the previous two posts in this series, we’ve looked at the hidden risks that make managing critical power facilities so challenging. We’ve also seen how digitalizing electrical power distribution networks trends mean you no longer have to ‘work blind.’ Connected smart devices sharing data with cloud or facility-based software and mobile apps help shine a bright light on ...
In my last post, I talked about the difficulties faced by facility teams in keeping critical power facilities running safely, reliably, efficiently, and compliant with regulations. We looked at the many hidden risks that make these goals even more challenging. A digitally-connected power distribution system gives you the deep insights you need so you’re no longer ‘working ...
Surge Protective Devices (SPDs) come in all shapes and sizes. They could be point of use devices found in power strips, Whole-Home or commercial units. However, they are not all created equally. Some may last a few years, while others may still be working after decades of use. So, what is the working life of a surge protector? The short answer is that it depends. It depends on a variety of ...
Electrical distribution can be easily overlooked in daily life. It’s out of sight and mind – electrical equipment is concealed within unassuming metal boxes and substations, while transmission lines run under our streets or are suspended above them. It can be easy to forget that distribution is a crucial element of our electrified world, a fact we are reminded of when the lights go ...
In my previous post in my series, I covered the importance of continuous monitoring of electrical equipment to prevent fires and equipment failures – not just to minimize the damage they cause once they’ve occurred. In this post, I’ll be discussing how those monitoring capabilities are getting built “natively” into today’s circuit breakers and electrical panels ...
We use semiconductors for practically everything Microprocessors and the semiconductors they use are the small but formidable brains that help power our society. For most of us, these chips remain invisible, even though they are engineered into virtually every modern product - from your car to your phone to the toaster in your ...
Currently, many aircraft systems rely on hydraulic, pneumatic, and other mechanical forms of systems, though this trend is currently changing as newer technological capabilities progress. With the advancing technologies and benefits of the aircraft electrical system, aircraft design is shifting to favor electronic equipment over traditional mechanical systems. Aircraft electrical systems can save ...
How Do Relays Function in Industrial Power Distribution Systems? Power distribution systems that manage large currents come with components that protect the system from abnormal conditions, which can damage the unit. ...
Movie sets have meticulous lighting requirements. Optimal lighting conditions can enhance filming by contributing to the mood of the scene and illuminating dark spots in the shot. Bright lighting systems may also help promote safety for crew members setting up electrical wirings and installing fixtures on the set. Read on to learn about unique lighting considerations for indoor and outdoor sets. ...
A comparative study of different string similarity metrics for ontology mapping using Quick Mapping Evaluator (QME) has been carried out. A Java Swing based GUI application, QME, has been developed. This QME is equipped with different algorithms like String Equality, Longest Common Subsequence and Levenshtein Distance for evaluation of the ontology matching at different thresholds in terms of ...
Due to the continuous increase of distributed generation (DG) penetration into distribution systems, load flow analysis always needs improvement to be more flexible, fast and computationally efficient especially when integrating DG with existing distribution systems. The work in this paper is divided into two parts; in the first part a new algorithm is developed to solve the power flow problem ...
