Understanding Transformer Vector Groups
Transformer vector groups can be a difficult concept to understand. I was lucky because the transformer ratio test-set I used for the first couple of years in my career allowed me to make three-phase connections, but it was really a single-phase tester and I had to change the connections one
Distance or Impedance Protection (21) Video
Line distance (21) protection is primarily used to protect transmission lines or other electrical equipment where the equipment’s impedance characteristic can be calculated or modeled with software applications. The protective relay calculates the ratio of measured voltage and current and uses Ohm’s Law to continually monitor the measured impedance while energized. The measured impedance
Good Videos to Help Understand Protective Relays
I’m reviewing information for the next book in The Relay Testing Handbook series and came across this Youtube channel. This is a dated, but excellent, video introduction to overcurrent protection (50/51) relays that has some great information to help you understand protective relays. The video reviews the basics of overcurrent protection
