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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...
