A busbar is a metallic strip that distributes local high electrical power. It is housed inside switchgear, panel board, and busway enclosures. The main purpose of a busbar is to collect electric power from feeders and transfer it to outgoing feeders. It collects electrical power in one station or location. On the other hand, busbar … Read more
Busbars are used in electrical power distribution systems and their main function is to ensure that the current does not exceed the normal operating range of equipment. The quality of a busbar depends on its cross-section area, material type, design and if it is air-cooled or water-cooled. Voltage drop refers to the difference between what … Read more
132kV cables are not usually installed above the ground because of the voltage. The high voltage can cause a huge spark that will ignite anything it touches. It is important to be mindful where this cables are installed, and it is advised to keep them at least 10 feet away from any combustible materials or … Read more
Tray cables are a type of multi-conductor cables used in industrial environments and suited for both power and signal transmission. The cables are usually installed via conduits, ducts, wire trays, and even direct burial usage. Tray cables are installed in buildings and should be plenum rated, which means they comply with smoke and flammability specifications … Read more
A cable tray is used in the electrical wiring of buildings to support insulated cables, which are mainly used for power distribution. Cable trays offer a great alternative to electrical conduit or open wiring systems and are usually used for cable management in commercial and industrial buildings.
Load flow analysis is a complex procedure because it involves hundreds of buses and different distribution systems, leading to complex calculations. Load flow analysis is a process that mainly entails evaluating voltage phases and magnitudes at every node then using the results to compute the voltage or current at every branch plus the total power … Read more
Busbars allow for power distribution by implementing aluminum or copper conductors to distribute power around a building. A busbar was developed as an alternative to conventional power distribution techniques and help resolve any issues brought about by using cable for power distribution. Busbars are a tried and tested mechanism for power distribution in buildings, especially … Read more
To keep the voltage in the generator bus steady, the synchronous generator’s field current has to be adjusted. Load Bus Also referred to as the PQ bus, the load bus is a kind of node that has both active and reactive power into the network. The voltage magnitude and phase angle are identified and have … Read more
Factors to Consider When Installing a Cable Tray System Before installing a cable tray system, you need to consider a variety of factors to ensure everything works according to plan. Inspection The first thing you need to do is inspect all trays and accessories that you receive on-site. The equipment should be handled and stored … Read more
In electrical power distribution, it is important for you to learn about two important things – busbars and feeders. A busbar can be explained to be a metallic bar or strip, usually made of aluminum or copper, which conducts electricity within a substation, distribution board, battery bank, or any other kind of electrical equipment. A … Read more
