Importance of Relay Selection in Grid-Connected Industries Infinite sources do finite mistakes! Yes, it’s true and here is the case study that will help prove that what is being said here is true. The case study is about the Grid side that was scheduled to shut down for 2 – 3 hours for adding a new 33 kV distribution line in a substation and all the consumers were informed regarding the same 2 weeks in advance. It went as… |

Inrush Current – Causes, Effects, Protection Circuits and Design Techniques The durability and dependability of an electronic circuit are highly dependent on how well it is designed considering all odds, which could practically occur when the product is actually in use. This is particularly true for all power supply units like AC-DC Converters, or SMPS Circuits because they are connected directly to the AC mains and a varying load which makes them… |
