Scheme tends to imply something shady, underhanded, perhaps even illegal. In electrical technology, however, the word simply denotes a plan - a way of doing something. For example, a control scheme is ...

The objective of protective relays and protective schemes is to protect electrical equipment such as transformers, lines, cables, bus bars, etc. during abnormal system conditions. Hence, protective ...

A Relay Protection Tester is designed to simulate electrical quantities such as current, voltage, frequency, and phase, allowing engineers to test protective relays under controlled conditions.

Since the early days of electric power systems, protection has been essential for the operation and safeguarding of power system assets as well as the safety of its users. Developed for the ...

Medium-voltage motors are critical to a facility’s power system. Not only are they expensive, but their failure can have crippling, long-lasting impacts on a plant’s operation. As such, properly ...

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) has published a new standard: IEEE Std. 3004.8-2016, “Recommended Practice for Motor Protection in Industrial and Commercial Power Systems.

Complex grids depend on equipment such as transformers, protection relays, switchgear, and cables—each of which can develop faults not immediately visible during normal operation. As a result, ...

Designing automotive electronics presents numerous technical challenges, including the need to protect against electrical hazards under the hood and in the cabin. The three major sources of electrical ...

Protection against ESD events (commonly referred to as ESD robustness) is an extremely important aspect of integrated circuit (IC) design and verification, including 2.5/3D designs. ESD events cause ...
