Electrical Equipment failures
It is always very interesting to analyse and understand the causes behind electrical system failures so that you can improve your installations as an electrical engineer.
That is why we chose to focus on 3 articles about them this month...
Here are 3 experiences is the worst?
1. 10 reasons of equipment failure and overvoltage
2. 10 causes for power system failures
3. 10 surprising causes for power system failures
If you would like to publish an article in the blog just tell us by mail. You can even post directly on the forum!
You can write about whatever you want (debate, tutorial, product review, your observations, your opinion as an engineer or student, etc.).
Thanks in advance for your active contribution to our community,

This month let us introduce you one of our community members: Smorkos
|
Head of Department at Debbas Industries since June 1997.
From Beirut (Lebanon).
Particularly interested in low voltage panel-boards & motor control centers and all other subjects in Electrical design.
Thinks the electrical engineering community very interesting, and he finds sometimes useful information.
Visits the Electrical Engineering blog and forum each time he receives a new e-mail from the community.
Likes to participate in the forum discussions because they're sometimes about business he is interested in it.

Current and auto transformers (working principle) |
 |
As we know transformers are device for converting one AC voltage to the another AC voltage with same frequency. One transformer is made of core, primary windings and secondary windings.
In general there are 2 main classes voltage and power transformers. Let's have a closer look into it.

| Sympathetic tripping in electrical power systems |
 |
Several industries and utilities have experienced circuit breakers tripping due to undesirable relay operations, producing blackouts and a decrease in their expected incomes. This situation has raised a lot of concern.
Some results have led to conclude that the real cause is a phenomenum called sympathetic tripping, following inrush currents, unbalanced or high load conditions.
Let's discuss the sympathetic tripping phenomenun produced during the energization of parallel transformer and out-of-section faults in distribution systems.

| Electrical System Protection : how can we use relays? |
 |
We used to consider circuit breakers as the devices that protect the electrical systems, however circuit breakers are only the muscles they just isolate and protect when they get the orders.
Relays are the brains, the devices that sense the faults and compare the value to the predefined values, and send the signals to breakers to take the actions.

Do you have other tips to protect eletrical systems? How do you use relays to do so?
