Transient overvoltages can cripple an electrical system, causing critical component failure and potentially igniting a fire in your facility. There are two categories of transient overvoltages: ...

To manage the challenges of today’s complex electrical power systems and tightening budgets, facility managers need to understand the critical connection between electrical commissioning and ...

A. Electrical power systems are grounded (connected to the earth) to limit the voltage induced by lightning, line surges, or unintentional contact by higher‑voltage lines and stabilize the system ...

Alternators like this one will probably disappear from the front of engines, replaced by a starter generator built into the transmission. Photo: Jim Park Within a decade’s time we will probably have ...

When you study electrical engineering technology (EET), you study the lifeblood of today's technology: electronics and computers. Electrical engineering technology is a part of virtually everything ...

Electrical system complexity is reaching a tipping point across industries, from modern passenger vehicles to sophisticated industrial machines that can now contain nearly 5,000 wiring harnesses. The ...

Based on Southwire Company’s CableTechSuppport TM Services records from the past five years, the number-one challenge in underground electric systems occurs before energization, due to unforeseen ...
