What is partial discharge? Methods for measuring PD. How PD impacts high-voltage cables. Partial discharge (PD) is evidence of a degrading insulation system, which could trigger costly repairs and ...

Electrical insulation is the cornerstone of high voltage system reliability, serving to impede undesirable current flow and thereby prevent catastrophic failures. Integral to the performance of ...

Alternating current (AC) electrical power has been used in industrial facilities and in people’s homes since 1882. Over the years, we have come to recognize the hazards associated with AC, and safety ...

It goes without saying that electric vehicles differ vastly from gasoline-powered cars. One such quirk is that you're unlikely to see any orange cables under the hood of your gas car. Meanwhile, an EV ...

The National Electric Safety Code (NESC) includes a clause sometimes referred to as the “5-mA Rule,” which states: For voltages exceeding 98 kV ac to ground, either the clearances shall be increased ...
