A neutral grounding resistor or neutral ground resistor is an important option for anyone using low and medium-voltage generators and transformers. Every system with a generator, alternator or transformer needs to be grounded to improve safety and prevent damage to people, equipment, and your overall electrical system. Neutral ground resistors are just one option to […]
Read MoreInterested in learning more about how an isolation transformer works? Here are five major advantages of isolation transformers: 1. Isolation Transformers Have A Lower Risk of Energy Surge Power surges are problematic when you work with electricity. A surge could short circuit equipment, shock you, or even cause a fire. Isolation transformers reduce […]
Read MoreIndustrial generator failure means a significant disruption to your business. The downtime involved to fix the problem can get in the way of production, deadlines, and events. It is important to quickly discover the cause of your generator failure to get it back online. It is also important to implement new policies in order to […]
Read MoreAnywhere you need power, a generator is needed to provide it to you. If you need more than the grid can provide or need it in a place where there is no grid (or in case of a power outage), then you need a generator. Homeowners, entertainment venues, construction companies, and more need to have […]
Read MoreTransformers adjust the voltage of the electrical current. A single-phase transformer is fairly simple. It uses one primary and one secondary winding in order to change the voltage. Three-phase transformers are more complex and are able to support heavy industrial use. Discover how three-phase transformers work and why you might consider using one below. What […]
Read MoreWhether you’re using a low-voltage cable for your audio equipment or for a power tool, it’s wise to understand resistance and reactance, the two resistances that make up impedance. Resistance and reactance resist the flow of electricity in the low-voltage cable and will affect your equipment and its performance. Getting the best quality sound, and taking […]
Read MoreThe reason a business needs to use a transformer for its project is to match the voltage of the load to the line voltage that’s supplied by the local utility. Obviously, it’s crucial for the transformer you use to operate safely and efficiently for a seamless process that no one even notices is taking place. […]
Read MoreThe method for installing transformer cable varies based on the type of project. The most common methods include pulling, blowing, and pushing into ducts, direct burial, and aerial installation. Here we offer a guide to transformer cable installation and recommended sizing. Methods of Transformer Cable Installation Common methods of installation include: Installation in ducts: Using […]
Read MoreHIPOT Testing, also known as Dielectric Withstand Testing ensures high voltage power cables are sound. The test identifies issues with currents flowing from one point to another. It allows electricians to test devices and determine whether or not the insulation is working. It’s the best way to find damaged insulation, as well as issues […]
Read MoreMany companies fail to choose the right generator because they don’t understand the difference between industrial and commercial generators. Here we explain the differences between the two to help you make the right decision. What is an Industrial Generator? An industrial generator is designed to withstand the demands of industrial work. They are more rugged […]
