The new Transformer Bushing Monitor (TBM) system from Serveron, a BPL Global company, permits live power factor testing with no downtime, equipment removal, or off-line tests that fall short of ...

If you have power factor correction capacitors, should you skip insulation power factor testing on your transformers? The answer is "no." Those PF capacitors have no bearing on the question. This is a ...

The power factor measurement has long been accepted as an invaluable tool for identifying insulation defects, such as ageing, deterioration, moisture ingress and localized failures, involving the ...

Motors and transformers are some of the most reliable pieces of equipment installed at power plants. However, inadequate maintenance can result in trouble. While regular testing and skilled evaluation ...

Plant performance measurement often stops at the point where power enters the plant switchyard. Yet minor transformer failures can have devastating impact on plant performance and system reliability.

Omicron has developed a portable three-phase test system that supports all common electrical tests on power transformers. Weighing just 20kg, Testrano 600 is suitable for routine and diagnostic ...

Several switching-converter topologies exist for power converters that operate from the ac mains and must maintain a power factor of 0.9 or better. One topology is a boost converter with a control ...

Motors and generators are critical components of electrical systems. They are used to automate numerous industrial processes, circulate liquids for cooling and lubrication purposes, and generate ...

Power transformers are often the main source of common-mode noise in isolated switching power converters. Why? Because inside the transformer, the windings on the primary and secondary sides of the ...
