Nov. 13, 2008, PULLMAN, WA - Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc. (SEL) is now taking orders for two new products, the SEL-787 and SEL-487E Transformer Protection Relays. These are the first ...

Power systems today operate in an environment where reliability and safety must be maintained despite rising loads, expanding ...

A transformer switching onto a line can sometimes cause a circuit breaker to trip or a fuse to blow. This phenomenon occurs even if the transformer presents no load, such as when the secondary is open ...

Inrush currents associated with motor starting and transformer energizing can cause interaction problems with other loads in a facility or on the power system, particularly sags that trip loads.

Omicron has introduced a way to test current transformers at all lifecycle stages by using a testing method called "the modeling concept". The "traditional" way of testing a current transformer is to ...

A simple approach based on original research attacks inrush currents at the source - the power transformer. The use of special core materials and transformer design/construction techniques overcomes ...

However much care is taken, it is very difficult to keep all traces of transformer-induced hum out of the signal circuitry. It is highly irritating to find that despite the cunning use of low-noise ...

Distributed generation, also known as embedded generation, is a hot topic at the moment. With more and more generation being connected to the network, those concerned with its stability have to deal ...

Phase-shifting transformers play an important role to control the power flow within our modern networks that include more and more renewable energy sources. The most important protection principle for ...

Inrush currents associated with motor starting and transformer energizing can cause interaction problems with other loads in a facility or on the power system. These inrush currents can cause sags ...
