  • Permissible operating temperature of busbar joints

    Permissible operating temperature of busbar joints

    The IEC 61439-1 sets the thermal limit in busbars working at the maximum working load. Here, 140°C (which is 105K over the ambient temperature of 35°C) is the upper safe temperature limit. With the aid of a correction factor (k2), the continuous currents specified in the follow-ing table may be adjusted to alternative oper-ating temperatures. A maximum temperature-rise of 55 K for bare (uncoated) Aluminium busbars and conductors (Al-Al joint) shall not exceed, to ensure safety & performance of the solution over a prolonged duration of service. Also attaching excerpts of IEC 61439 Ed.


  • 10kV switch failure causes busbar outage

    10kV switch failure causes busbar outage

    Circuit Breaker Failure to Operate or Maloperation: Manually store energy and test closing operation; replace damaged coils; repair or replace faulty auxiliary switches. Based on engineering insights, the primary causes of busbar failures, exploring their technical principles, characteristics, and strategy for early detection. Busbar problems are often incorrectly identified as harmonic currents caused by non-linear loads. When the electrical bus bar insulator suffers insulation damage, it can lead to a ground fault in a 10kV busbar at best, and a phase-to-phase short circuit at worst.


  • Causes of bit errors in optical receivers

    Causes of bit errors in optical receivers

    In a communication system, the receiver side BER may be affected by transmission channel,,, problems,, wireless , etc. The BER may be improved by choosing a strong signal strength (unless this causes cross-talk and more bit errors), by choosing a slow and robust scheme or scheme, and by applying schemes such as redundant codes.


  • Ultra-short fiber optic cold splice

    Ultra-short fiber optic cold splice

    The ULTRAsplice is a high performance, cost effective, mechanical fiber optic splice that is reusable and easy to install for emergency or permanent installations. A fiber fast connector, also known as a mechanical splice or cold connector, is a field-installable connector that terminates fiber optic cables without requiring a fusion splicer. The splice features a patented glass capillary alignment tube, pre-loaded with index matching gel, to allow inspection of fiber. The ULTRAsplice is for 125um clad fiber in singlemode and multimode applications. 2dBwith a fiber retention of over 2 lbs. Cleave and insert fibers while checking location in the glass capillary. Fiber optic joints or terminations are made two ways: 1) splices which create a permanent joint between the two fibers or 2) connectors that mate two fibers to create a temporary joint and/or connect the fiber to a piece of network gear. Either joining method must have three primary characteristics. High quality optical fiber mechanical splices such as 3M Fibrlok, Corning Camsplice, AMP CoreLink, Siemon UltraSplice, and more.

  • Understanding High and Low Voltage Complete Sets of Equipment

    Understanding High and Low Voltage Complete Sets of Equipment

    What is a High Voltage and Low Voltage Complete Set? A high voltage and low voltage complete set refers to protective, switching, and control devices as an integrated system within one enclosure (safe). They are known as complete switchgear assemblies because they integrate inside them such. Electricity plays a critical role in ensuring national well-being and livelihoods, and the stable development of the power industry drives socio-economic progress. We are your one-stop shop for all needs. This solution covers a complete set of power equipment from low-voltage distribution. What is Voltage and Why Does Classification Matter? Voltage, measured in volts (V), represents the electrical potential difference between two points in a circuit. It's the “pressure” that pushes electrical current through conductors, similar to how water pressure moves water through pipes.
