Power Grid Components, Inc. announces the acquisition of Instrument Transformer Equipment Corporation Power Grid Components, Inc. (“Power Grid”), a company formed by Shorehill Capital LLC (“Shorehill” ...

It is important for machine design engineers to understand how transformers work so they can design machinery that operates optimally within the proper voltage ranges, as well as select the right ...

Motors and transformers are some of the most reliable pieces of equipment installed at power plants. However, inadequate maintenance can result in trouble. While regular testing and skilled evaluation ...

U.S. utilities need more transformers to build the zero-carbon grid and keep the lights on after major storms. But the specialized equipment is hard to build, and manufacturers can’t keep up with ...

Though critical to the nation’s power grid, large power transformers are some of the most vulnerable components in the system. Armed with a shared determination for resiliency, government, industry, ...

Large electric transformers are inconvenient machines. They are large and heavy, which means they usually need to be delivered by sea freight, not air freight, which would be faster. They must be ...

Everyone knows that Thomas Alva Edison invented the lightbulb; but who invented the transformer - perhaps the most important electrical machine ever developed? The ZBD model alternating-current ...

It’s no secret that the electrical grid is aging, but one part stands out from the rest. Transformers haven’t changed much since Thomas Edison made his first light bulb. Now, a string of startups are ...

The iron-core transformer is the 140-year-old technology that props up both the electrical grid and AI companies. The devices are clunky but reliable, which explains why they’re still in use: If it ...

Power-transformer designs minimize weight and cost based on three assumptions: (1) the power source is a sine wave, (2) the frequency is fixed, and (3) the voltage will not exceed a specified maximum.
