The "How To" type of articles
For this April 2016 newsletter, we want you to focus on a certain type of articles we sometimes publish in the blog: the "How To" type of articles.
Written by the members of the community, they are interesting and very useful!
Some of you may never have noticed these "How To" articles, so here's a short selection:
1. How to specify medium voltage switchgear (for industrial plant)?
2. How to wire a building and provide for future load growth?
3. How to select a sectionalizer?
If you want to publish an article in the blog, you can send a mail to the team.
You can even post directly on the forum and write about whatever you want (debate, tutorial, product review, observations, your own experience, etc.)!
Thanks in advance for your active contribution to our community,
Moderator team

Detecting underground cable faults |
 | In a power transmission and distribution system, cables serve the primary purpose of transmitting electrical energy from one point to another. A fault at any section of the cable system significantly reduces the functionality and integrity of the whole setup.
This situation significantly escalates with underground cables, due to the location. With the power systems growing rapidly over the years, the number and length of cables has increased over the years.

Frequency conversion in electrical power systems |
 |
The frequency conversion in electrical power systems is often required when the load is designed and rated for a different frequency other than that of the utility mains or from any other source. The frequency converters take in the AC power at one frequency and voltage and then provide an output power at a different frequency, and equal or different voltage.
But some equipment designed to operate on a certain frequency may not function efficiently when powered on a different frequency.
