Electrical Leakage Protection Issue
Electrical leakage is a serious safety concern. Promptly address any issues. Leakage occurs when current flows to conductive material outside the circuit, causing shock or fires. Here’s a step-by-step guide: Identify the leakage source: Get help from a licensed electrician to avoid danger. Test the protection system: Check if the circuit breaker or ground fault …
Lightning Arrester & Protection Systems
A lightning arrester, also called surge arrester or lightning diverter, safeguards electrical systems from high voltage surges caused by lightning strikes or transients. It redirects the surge to ground, protecting equipment. They are used in power transmission, communication networks and vulnerable infrastructure. Arresters can be made of metal oxide varistors (MOV), gas discharge tubes (GDT), …
Electrical Relay Controls
An Electrical Relay is an engineering device used to control electricity flow to the circuit. It generates electromagnet to open and close contacts and enable the circuit for current to different devices or systems. Relays are widely used in industries and automotive applications dependent on it to ensure safe operation. It controls various devices just …
Switchgear for Power Controls
Switchgear is a combination of electrical devices used to control and protect power systems. It safeguards equipment from faults and controls the flow of electricity. Switchgear can be classified into low-voltage, medium-voltage, and high-voltage types. It can also be categorized based on construction and application, such as metal-enclosed, air-insulated, and gas-insulated switchgear. Low-voltage switchgear, used …
Earthing
Earthing or grounding, connects an electrical system to the Earth for safety and Equipment performance. It involves connecting a metal conductor (like a wire) from the Equipment system to the ground, serving as reference point. Earthing ensures that excess electrical current flows safely to the ground, preventing electric shock, equipment damage and fires. In Electrical …
