Electrical Equipement Selection
This month let's focus on Electrical Equipement Selection which is essential for a safe and effective electrical installation.
Throughout the years, several electrical engineers kindly sent us articles about it. Check 3 of them below...
Read 3 articles with the best tips to select your equipement as an electrical engineer:
1. MV/LV substation: selection of power transformers
2. How to Select an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS)
3. Top 10 factors that govern selection of medium voltage drives
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,

A student in the MSc Electrical Engineering (smart grids) program from Finland.
From Pakistan and Finland for his studies.
IoT, Industrial Automation, Smart Metering, RTUsare the subjects which interest him the most.
Thinks that there's a lack of push for awareness in the Electrical Engineering Community. Thinks that people need to get acquainted to the idea of digitization of the grid, and how automation can lead to greater efficiency, reliability and safety especially in his country.
Visits the Electrical Engineering blog and forum often to keep hiself updated about the latest news.

Electrical equipment: Megger vs Doble |
 |
Insulation of an electrical equipment is generally associated with the capacity of the material to withstand a potential difference (voltage) at specific environmental conditions.
Maintenance and measurements of insulation in transformers, conductors, circuit breakers, motors and others is crucial to ensure the lifetime of the equipment. That's why most technicians perform the insulation resistance test as a quality control measurement.

What's your opinion, should we rather use Megger or Dobble?

| Overcurrent protection function |
 |
Current protection schemes are integrated into power system designs to protect the power system components from the excessive withdrawal of current and short-circuit currents.
Overcurrent protections follow 19 well-defined time characteristic curves, which define the time delay before the tripping angle as a function of the current.
