In today’s blog, we will discuss Covered Conductors and their accessories. By the end of this blog, you will understand what Covered Conductors are, their sizes, and the key accessories mandatory for their performance. What are Covered Conductors? They resemble conventional overhead power cables. But they are wrapped in ...
Recently, during the monsoon, a new LED failed. Everyone blamed the brand, but the real reason was a lightning strike. We all know how lightning strikes. It hits the tallest object and sends a high current into the ground. But even when it does not strike a structure directly, we ...
Can your insulation-piercing connector (IPC) function in heavy snowfall? Read this blog on the deep-freezing test to see how it withstands extreme cold conditions. What is IPC? Also known as IPC, an insulation-piercing connector is a type of electrical connector that pierces the insulation of a cable, creating a ...
UL certification represents a recognized standard for safety and reliability in earthing and lightning protection. For products such as ground rods and clamps used in these systems, conducting thorough testing is essential. These components play a crucial role in safeguarding against electrical faults and lightning strikes, and their proper function ...
Earth resistance is the measure of how easily electric current can flow from an electrode into the ground. Lower resistance ensures the current dissipates faster and more safely during a fault. This resistance depends mostly on soil resistivity. To keep the value within safe limits, the soil around the electrode ...
In this trending era of technology and development, earthing in substations plays a vital role. An electrical power system comprises a network of electrical elements that can be used to generate, distribute and transmit electrical energy through transmission lines. A substation is a part of an electrical power system that ...
Follow us on LinkedIn for regular updates on everything about Lightning Arresters! Well, we all are aware of the lightning strike that occurs during the rainy season. But are we aware of the fact that we need to protect our structure and electrical system from it too? Yes, there is ...
ESE Type Lightning Arrester, also known as Early Streamer Emission Lightning Arrester, protect buildings from direct lightning strikes. The goal of this device is simple. It increases the protection radius compared to conventional arresters, which reduces the number of arresters and down conductors needed for a building, all while ensuring ...
Heat Shrink Materials are made up of crosslinked thermoplastic elastomers that contracts or “shrinks” when exposed to heat. This characteristic allows it to tightly wrap around electrical conductors and termination part, providing insulation, weather stability and chemical resistance. In this blog, you will get a clear idea about the Heat ...
Shrink Ratios play a crucial role in the performance and selection of heat shrinkable products. Whether you’re working with uniform wires or irregular cable joints, understanding shrink ratios helps ensure proper fit, insulation, and long-term reliability. This blog explains what shrink ratios are, their common applications, and how they influence ...
