Corrosion Impact on Mild Steel Enclosures
Corrosion is one of the major problems faced by industries around the globe. It is primarily a degradation of material resulting from its reaction with environmental factors. Corrosion is a major issue in particular for mild steel casing since it poses many challenges for...

Cable Inductance Explained – A Practical Guide
Inductance is the property of a conductor that causes it to oppose changes in current. Whenever current flows through a conductor, it creates a magnetic field around it. If that current changes, the magnetic field also changes, which induces a voltage that resists the...

Cable Resistance Explained – What Every Electrician and Engineer Should Know
Cable resistance is the opposition that a conductor gives to the flow of electric current. No matter how “good” the conductor material is, it will never be perfect—there will always be some level of resistance. This resistance has three major effects: 1. It causes...

What Do We Mean by Rated Secondary Current in CTs?
When we talk about the rated secondary current, we’re simply referring to the nominal current output that the CT is designed to provide at its secondary terminals when its primary is carrying rated current. For instance: A CT with 1000/5 A means that when...

Maximum Cable Length for a CT – How to calculate?
To determine how long can we run a cable for a current transformer, we need to identify these key factors. 1. CT rated secondary current 2. Burden rating (CT Burden) 3. Cable resistance 4. Cable inductance 5. Number of connected devices 6. Allowable accuracy...

What is CT Burden? Explained!
The burden of a current transformer is defined as the volt-ampere loading that is permissible without exceeding the accuracy limits for a given CT accuracy class. Simply put, it is the load connected to the CT secondary. CT burdens are usually specified as 5...

How Long You Can Run a Cable for a CT? Explained!
A current transformer is one that, in contrast to the considerably larger current flowing in the primary winding, creates a smaller, proportionate current in its secondary winding. The primary side is attached to the primary conductor transmitting the high current. Usually 5A or 1A,...

Energy as a Service (EaaS) – What is the role?
Energy-as-a-Service operates similarly to that software subscription model we’re all so accustomed to in our everyday lives. Rather than shell out a massive initial fee to purchase and host software, we subscribe and pay for the functionality we require. EaaS does the same with...

What is a microgrid? Explained!
A microgrid is an independent power system that powers a particular region—perhaps a neighborhood, a minefield, a university campus, or even an isolated community. It usually integrates renewable energy generation (solar panels, wind turbines, or perhaps bioenergy) along with energy storage systems such as...

Machine Learning – How does it make things easier?
Machine learning is a field of artificial intelligence that admits calculatings to “learn” from news. Rather than being explicitly compute accompanying accurate rules, ML arrangements expect patterns in colossal datasets and ask these patterns to create predictions or determinations. Consider electronic mail marketing mail...
