 Reactive Power is impacting your energy bill. Why continuous measurement and monitoring is necessary to determine the correct compensation system and to monitor it. Reactive energy is produced and consumed by electrical devices that have inductive or capacitive components. It is called reactive energy because it does not perform useful work directly, but it is necessary for the operation of many electrical devices, such as motors, transformers, and fluorescent lights. Reactive energy is important to consider when designing and operating electrical systems because it can have a significant impact on the efficiency and quality of the power supply. #reactiveenergy #energyautomation #energymonitoring

Notes on Power Generation, Transmission & Distribution The #limitations of a #radial electrical power #distribution system can be mitigated by implementing a #ring main #electrical #power distribution system. In this setup, a single-ring #network of distributors is powered by multiple #feeders. Thus, if a feeder encounters a #fault or #requires #maintenance, the ring #distributor remains powered by the other connected feeders. Consequently, consumer supply remains uninterrupted even if a feeder goes out of #service...

Surge voltages (impulse voltages) can occur during solar panel measurements, even when they’re not connected to the grid. Examples include when breaker switches are turned on/off or when making cable connections with live voltage. While many measuring instruments have built-in protection circuits, repeated surge voltages can damage these circuits and, ultimately, the instrument itself.
