Understanding phase rotation is vital when connecting two systems together because the results can be catastrophic if someone doesn’t understand how to interpret phase rotation drawings. You would think something as important as phase rotation would have consistent terms across the entire industry. Unfortunately, you’d be wrong. Let’s start with
I’ve noticed that many students don’t seem to have experience with phase angle meters, and they can’t guess what a phase angle meter would measure in simple circuit. This knowledge is CRITICAL if you want to perform a protective relay meter test properly. Anyone can inject voltages and currents into
The next generation of relay testers need your help! We’re almost finished our “How to Test Protective Relays” Online Seminar and we’re starting to write the next online training course for relay testers about the basics of electricity with the following topics: Basic circuits and phasor measurements Ohm’s Law Impedance
I was recently asked about DC Offset during a paper I presented at the 2015 Hands-On Relay School and struggled with an answer because I know what it looks like and I know it exists, but I’ve never heard an explanation that made sense to me. The answer you usually
Waveform diagrams contain every detail of an electrical system, but that information can be difficult to understand without a lot of effort. Phasor drawings take the complex information embedded in waveform drawings and convert it into phasor diagrams so that you can see the most important information about an electrical system at a glance. Understanding
We’re wrapping up our upcoming protective relay online training class: Understanding and Drawing Phasor Diagrams, and we are ready to get started on the next course about the electrical fundamentals that every relay tester should know. There are a lot of free resources for basic electrical theory out there and we
