A lot of medium voltage switchgear projects start the same way. A plant is expanding, a utility service is changing, or an aging lineup is finally forcing a decision that everyone hoped could wait one more turnaround. The schedule is [...]
A fault never shows up at a convenient time. It hits during startup, during a production run, during a weather swing, or right after the utility tie has transferred and everybody in the plant is watching the one piece of [...]
A plant can lose a transformer long before anyone says the protection scheme was the problem. What people see first is the outage. The line is down, operators are waiting, and someone is trying to answer whether the fault started [...]
A medium voltage circuit breaker is essentially a heavy-duty, automatic switch built to protect electrical gear running anywhere from 1,000 volts (1kV) to 38,000 volts (38kV). It’s a core safety device that instantly trips during a dangerous overload or short [...]
A vacuum circuit breaker, or VCB, is an electrical protection device that uses a perfect vacuum to extinguish an electrical arc. Think of it as an incredibly fast, ultra-reliable firefighter for your medium-voltage electrical system. It's designed to stop a [...]
