Insulation Percing Connector Used

Where is Insulation Piercing Connector Used?

The prime objective of the Insulation Piercing Connector (IPC) is to distribute the network. The installation of insulated piercing connectors has been combined with outstanding mechanical, electrical, and environmental properties to create a connector capable of terminating aluminium or copper-stranded wires. Insulation Piercing Connector is used for all AB cable ...

What is Earth Resistance? How to measure it?

Electrical systems can fault at any time due to equipment failure, power surges caused by lightning strikes, or variations in the power grid. These faults can be hazardous for individuals handling electrical equipment, as they become an instantaneous pathway for current to flow. It’s here that the concept of proper ...

Types Of Cable Glands And Their Applications

A cable gland is a device attached to the end of an electrical cable to secure that particular part of the device. Cable Glands permit its entry into the electrical equipment, enhancing the system with earthing, grounding, bonding, insulation, sealing, retention and strain relief. They are applicable for the processing ...

ESE Lightning Arrester

Installation Of An ESE lightning Arrester

A lightning arrester protects the electrical network and the structures from lightning. When lightning strikes, it creates massive destruction and damages the equipment. A lightning arrester or a surge diverter protects the equipment at the substation. The lightning arrester bifurcates the abnormal high voltage to the ground without affecting the ...

Lightning Conductors

What are lightning conductors & how do they work?

Lightning – a natural phenomenon as breathtaking as it is deadly. It’s a spark that bridges the gap between negatively and positively charged sections of a cloud, and its power can cause significant damage, especially to tall buildings. However, thanks to modern engineering, we have a defence mechanism against this ...

Importance of Earth Mat in Substation

The earth mats or grounding mats bring the connection to the earth indoors. They usually connect through a conductor inserted within the ground port of an electrical outlet. They help in limiting the ground potential & protect against the faulty current. They are used in a place where the large ...

Plate Earthing Diagram – Explained

Earthing, also known as grounding, is a fundamental safety measure in electrical systems. It’s a method that connects the neutral points of a system to the earth, providing an alternative path for electrical energy to discharge safely during a fault. This prevents dangerous potential build-ups in exposed conductive materials. A ...

How to install lightning arrester on building?

Lightning arrester rods, surge arresters, or lightning conductors are metal rods installed on a building for lightning protection. They protect structures or substations from the travelling waves of lightning and divert the abnormally high voltage to the ground. They are made from copper and brass alloy which are good conductors ...

Smart Meters in India ─ Types & Application

Smart meters record information on electrical energy consumption, voltage levels, current and power factors. They offer greater clarity on this information to the electrical service providers regarding electrical consumption, help with monitoring the system, and billing. They use advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) that differs from automatic meter reading (AMR.). They ...
