Introduction Electrical power distribution networks, which include generation, transmission, and distribution, are often referred to as electrical grids. These grids have been the backbone of the world’s electricity supply since the late 19th century. Initially, the operating principles of these electrical grids were simple: generate electricity and send it to users, such as homes and … Read more
Introduction It starts subtly.A “quick check-in” turns into a constant watch.A “small suggestion” becomes a detailed instruction.Before you know it, every step of your work is being monitored, questioned, and corrected. This is micromanagement—a silent killer of motivation and trust. It leaves professionals feeling frustrated, powerless, and doubting their own competence. What’s surprising is that, … Read more
Introduction: High voltage switchboards are specialized electrical distribution equipment designed to handle higher voltage levels than standard switchboards. They are commonly used in industrial & commercial facilities, power plants, substations, and other applications where high-voltage electrical power connections are sanctioned by the local utility. Let us start with what is the relevant national and international … Read more
Background Internal Arc Faults can occur in low-voltage as well as medium-voltage switchgear panels. However, we have chosen to discuss the internal arc fault phenomenon in medium-voltage switchgear and its impact on human safety because of its severity in the latter case. What is an Internal Arc Fault? Very important to understand what this phenomenon … Read more
