When you buy an electronic gadget you sometimes come across the CE mark. The CE marking is not there on all the electronic gadgets that you buy but you see it on specific products. What does this mark mean to you as a consumer? It means that you are buying a product that has undergone CE testing and has got its CE certification. Does it matter? It does because you can rest assured that such a product will have passed through a stringent test that Read More...

What is EMC? As per Wikipedia, EMC or Electromagnetic Compatibility is the branch of electrical sciences which studies the unintentional generation, propagation and reception of electromagnetic energy with reference to the unwanted effects (Electromagnetic interference, or EMI) that such energy may induce. FCC or Federal Communications Commission is an independent US government agency that approves products for manufacturers to be able to sell th Read More...

There is no denying that radiation can have harmful and even deadly effects on both the environment and those who dwell within it.  Radiation poisoning and radiation sickness have killed countless individuals throughout the world, and have also had detrimental long-term effects on those who have come into contact with harmful radiation levels in their lifetime.  Additionally, many health problems that have resulted from harmful radiation, have Read More...

Radiation is a common scientific term that generally conjures up images of disease and mutation. The problem is that most people never stop and ask what is radiation. Instead, they focus on what they have learned through Hollywood disaster movies and the bits and pieces they have heard on the news. The same can be said when it comes to people asking what is nuclear power. Most people simply don’t understand what it is or how it is really us Read More...

The term ‘partial discharge’ might seem to denote a particularly complex concept that would be difficult for a layperson to understand, but it really is a relatively simple concept to grasp. Partial discharge is really an electrical phenomenon that takes place where there are pieces of high voltage equipment covered by insulating materials that have developed small flaws or imperfections. These imperfections manifest themselves in the form of Read More...

Motors generators cables switchgear transformer are all pieces of equipment that have high voltage electrical currents running through them. Due to these dangerous levels of high voltage electricity, motors generators cables switchgear transformer equipment is always well insulated to prevent any of that electricity from leaking into the surrounding environment. This is not only necessary for the proper working of such equipment, but also an esse Read More...

While the term ‘partial discharge’ might sound complicated, the truth is that it describes a relatively simple concept. A partial discharge is simply electrical energy from a high voltage bridging a tiny part of the insulation between conducting electrodes. This is caused by gaps or cracks in the insulating material surrounding a piece of high voltage equipment such as a generator or transformer. Equipment of this sort is isolated from the su Read More...

Operations managers around the world absolutely loathe partial discharge because they associate it with failures of the important machinery that their operations depend on and the enormous amount of hassle and frustration that they have to endure when organizing repair and damage control efforts. Even in today’s modern world, motor insulation monitoring systems have not yet become commonplace, and many operations do still deal with the specter Read More...

For most people unfamiliar with the workings of high voltage electrical components, the word ‘bushing’ would not be a familiar one. This is not surprising as bushings are highly specialized electrical components found alongside electrical transformers. A bushing is essentially an insulated enclosure through which a conductor passes, with the conductor being connected at either end to different pieces of equipment. Thus the bushing usually pro Read More...
