One of the challenges that companies continually face, especially those that carry out production processes that require a lot of energy, is the continuous increase in the price of electricity. This makes them progressively less competitive. And it is also one of the reasons, but not the only one, why there are more and [...]
Nobody expects a fire until it happens. That is why it is important to always be prepared to face it, since otherwise a fire in our company, factory or industry could be fatal. In addition, it must be taken into account that in industrial companies the risk of fire is greater. Especially in those [...]
Background: In the earlier Case Study, we saw how we solved a Transformer mal-tripping issue during our Routine Maintenance and Testing activities. We are presenting herewith another case which demonstrates why these activities should be entrusted to experts, who can make such routine jobs more meaningful and save assets. We were appointed to carry out [...]
Today, many plant managers operating in industrial companies, which account for 33 percent of total energy consumption in the United States, are somewhat anxious about having to follow programs like the one developed by the Department of Energy ( DOE). The US Best Plants Initiative requires corporate commitments to reduce the intensity of energy [...]
5 REASONS TO PERFORM A POWER QUALITY ANALYSIS The electrical quality is an indicator of the level of adequacy of the installation to support and guarantee the reliable operation of its loads. In this article, we will tell you the benefits that you can obtain when performing a power quality analysis. WHAT IS THE [...]
Power Quality Analysis The electrical quality is an indicator of the adequacy level of the installation to guarantee and support that the operation of its loads is viable. When we talk about the quality of electrical energy, we are referring to both the quality of the voltage and current signals and the reliability of the [...]
I t was just anoth er day and another morning of January 2019, on which we received a call from a new Customer in Metal Sector, from Chhattisgarh. And urgently, they wanted us to test and commission an old 10 MW, 11 kV Generator along with its relaying, schemes and complete testing. On enquiring [...]
The quality of electrical energy is a concept that can be defined as a state of balance between the characteristics of energy consumption of the devices and the energy supply, under appropriate conditions that allow maintaining the continuity of the electrical flow, without deteriorating or generating failures the equipment components. The emphasis on “can be [...]
The power factor is a qualitative and quantitative indicator of the correct use of electric energy. It describes the amount of energy that has become work. This in turn varies according to consumption and the type of load of the units. Its state or ideal value is one (1) which means that the energy [...]
Lightning Rod System - Its importance. Since the rays produce serious thermal, electrical and mechanical effects of the electric shock generated in just hundredths of seconds. The lightning rod system is a device consisting of a metal tube made of stainless steel, aluminum or copper, which is used to ensure a route of conduction [...]
