In home safety, the main switch holds significant importance but often gets overlooked. Located in your electrical panel, it plays a crucial role in protecting your home and family. Understanding how the main switch functions and its importance is essential for maintaining electrical safety....
An electrical enclosure is a protective casing designed to house electrical components and equipment. To enhance the safety and effectiveness of electrical enclosures, smoke seals are employed to prevent the escape of smoke in the event of a fire, thus safeguarding both the internal...
These are electrical devices used to measure alternating current. They produce a proportional secondary current in their output. However, revenue grade CTs are specially made to give highly accurate and reliable output typical of commercial and industrial applications, normally meant for billing and metering...
Split-core current transformers are devices that are central in electrical measurement and protection, ensuring that electrical systems are managed and monitored. If you are an electrical engineer or technician, or any other user simply interested in electrical components, getting to know more about split...
3in1 CTs are sets of current transformers that save space by having all three phases built in to 1 component. A current transformer is an instrument that measures and keeps track of the current in a circuit. It works by producing a reduced current,...
When an electrical enclosure is made of a ferrous metal it must be tested according to the requirements of AS/NZS 61439. Non-ferrous enclosures do not need to be tested for corrosion resistance as they are generally not subject to corrosion. There are two types...
Regowski coils are a type of current transformer used to a large extent for measurement of alternating current. Walter Regowski, a German engineer, designed these coils, whose characteristic is the fact that they are air-cored and flexible in a way, and they are mainly...
Circuit breakers play a very important role in the world of electrical safety, in both industrial and residential settings. These are necessary for preventing faults in electricity and ensuring that electrical systems function properly, and they are available in different types that can be...
Surge diverters protect electrical systems from transient voltage spikes, known as surges. Surges can result from lightning, power outages, or switching electrical loads. They may raise the voltage beyond what most components can handle, causing damage or failure. According to the AS/NZS3000 standard, surge...
Surge diverters effectively protect against voltage surges resulting from the operation of medium and high voltage power distribution switchgear. Unlike lightning strikes, which are high-energy events, these transient surges typically arise from operational anomalies or rapid changes within the electrical system. Applications The range...
