Sweep Frequency Response Analysis (SFRA) – Working Principle

Power transformers are critical to electrical systems, and their failure can lead to major disruptions. Sweep Frequency Response Analysis (SFRA) is a powerful diagnostic tool used to detect mechanical and electrical issues inside a transformer before they cause serious problems. It helps identify winding movement, core displacement, insulation failure, and structural deformations by analyzing how … Read more

Soil Resistivity Measurement – Detail Process

Measuring soil resistivity is essential before designing a grounded earthing system for a substation because it determines how well the ground can dissipate fault currents. If the soil resistivity is high, the grounding system needs more dense earthing mesh and more number of conductive electrodes to ensure proper safety. A well-designed earthing system prevents intolerable … Read more

What is a Sheath Voltage Limiter?

Sheath Voltage Limiters (SVL) As I have already told, in high-voltage cables, the metallic sheath plays an important role in protecting the conductor from external physical, environmental and electromagnetic influences. But due to electromagnetic induction of the current flowing through the main conductor, a voltage is developed along the sheath, especially in long cable runs. … Read more
