Eradicating false alarms from Automatic Fire Detection systems
Automatic detection has long been a fundamental contributor in protecting people and property from the threat posed by fire. However, for all its benefits, one of the downsides is the potential for false alarms. This has led to initiatives such as those
Protecting Data Centres from the threat of fire
Data centres process an ever-increasing volume of digital media and other data throughout a global network of several billion devices. An outage can be catastrophic due to the direct financial consequences and the impact on image and reputation. There are multiple, potential
Fire safety in parking garages with electric vehicles
A new white paper has been published by Siemens highlighting the challenges and, importantly, potential solutions, in protecting garages containing electric vehicles from the threat of fire. Given that electric vehicles in parking garages are still a relative newcomer in fire safety
A matter of time and quality
Save efforts, costs and more with Advanced Protection Testing In an environment of growing protection testing demands and a challenging resource situation, time is of essence. With our standardized automated testing approach our customers were able to reduce their previous protection testing
Misleading line frequency insulation results on a contaminated transformer
This paper focusses on Misleading line frequency insulation results on a contaminated transformer. A 1978 vintage, 20 MVA, 69/13.09 kV, Dyn1 transformer, operating for a major North American utility, was taken out of service to repair a pump in the cooling system.
Designing electrical systems for future-proof, energy-efficient green buildings
This paper offers electrical design engineers a guide to the most relevant, up-to-date standards and technology to help specify and design future-proof electrical systems that deliver optimal energy efficiency throughout the entire building life cycle. Green, energy-efficient building design and operation is
Functional testing of IEC 61850 based Substation Automation Systems
Automation systems have become increasingly complex and so have the efforts for testing communication, interlocking logic, and proper operation of all signals transmitted to SCADA systems. Surprisingly, even today testing the Substation Automation System (SAS) is usually performed manually. This manual process is time-consuming
