RIP bushing is a kind of condenser bushing or capacitor-graded bushing. The full form of RIP bushing is Resin Impregnated Paper Bushing. The working principle of an RIP bushing is similar to that of an OIP bushing, and construction-wise, they are almost similar. The only difference is that in an OIP bushing, we use oil … Read more
An OIP bushing uses concentric cylindrical capacitors in series between the central conductor and outer insulator housing of the bushing. An OIP bushing serves the same purpose as the other types of bushings do. That means it provides proper insulation between the live conductor and the grounded metallic tank of electrical equipment, such as power … Read more
In this article, we are going to discuss the theory behind a condenser bushing. We have mainly focused on how the capacitor grading improves the voltage distribution along the thickness of the insulation. We also call it a capacitor graded bushing. There are mainly two types of condenser bushings. These are the OIP bushing and … Read more
We also refer to a resin-bonded paper bushing or a synthetic resin-bonded paper bushing, respectively, as SRBP or RBP bushings, in short form. Before entering the actual discussion of resin-bonded paper bushings, let us understand the meaning of resin-bonded paper. What is the meaning of resin-bonded? We all know that paper is a cellulose material, … Read more
Power Transmission Utilities use lattice-structured transmission towers for extra high voltage transmission lines and ultra-high voltage transmission lines, normally above 33 kV or including 33 kV lines. They use galvanized iron or GI angles with nuts and bolts to erect the electrical transmission towers. The height of these towers ranges from 20 to 40 meters, … Read more
We also refer to the Core Balance Current Transformer or Core Balance CT (CBCT) as Working Principle of Core Balance CT (CBCT) A Core Balance Current Transformer (CBCT) is a special type of current transformer. Specifically, it works on the principle of imbalance detection. It monitors the imbalance current of a three-phase cable system. When … Read more
We are going to discuss here in this article a clear idea about SOTF Protection. Sometimes it becomes necessary to open a circuit breaker just after closing. This is due to the presence of a fault during the closing of the circuit breaker. This type of condition may arise due to different reasons. Such as … Read more
We often refer to a contact multiplier relay simply as a contact multiplier. Also, we call it a contact multiplying relay or contact multiplication relay. It is a special type of electromagnetic attraction armature relay. Its function is to multiply the auxiliary contacts of a main relay. Sometimes, a protection relay does not have sufficient … Read more
An electromagnetic attraction type relay is the simplest form of protection relay. The relay uses an electromagnet to perform its function. Its basic construction consists of a magnetic core made of laminated, cold-rolled, grain-oriented silicon steel or laminated steel. Lamination reduces eddy current losses, while the cold-rolled structure of the iron minimizes hysteresis loss. We … Read more
An electrical protection relay is an intermediate device that bridges the function of a current transformer or a similar fault-detecting device to one or more circuit breakers. In other words, the relay connects the fault-sensing device with the fault-clearing device. Essentially, a relay has a simple magnetic coil that receives current from the current transformer. … Read more
