Electrical injuries can occur from the smallest voltage, but generally the risk of injury increases with higher voltages and can cause electric shocks, burns, loss of muscle control and even death. Reece Safety gives us some tips on how avoid these high
Surprisingly, despite the dangers, high-voltage electrical engineering can often be one of the safest areas to work. While it might sound like a daunting way to spend your nine-to-five, John Smith, managing director at Smith Brothers, looks at some of the sector’s
Having supported the North British Distillery with HV maintenance services for the last 15 years, Quartzelec was recently able to recommend the replacement of the main HV switchboard.
Quartzelec recently provided instant response when a multinational manufacturer experienced critical power loss problems with an 11kV circuit breaker at one of its UK facilities.
With its new CPCSync feature, Omicron’s modular and mobile CPC 100 multi-functional testing system can be used as a mobile and scalable HV source for on-site induced voltage tests on dry-type transformers (DTT) and gas-insulated switchgears.
On 1 September HVPD announced the global release of the PDS Insight, the world’s first handheld On-line Partial Discharge (OLPD) test unit supplied with a dedicated asset management tablet application – the OLPD Manager app. The PDS Insight is a ground-breaking asset
Temporary site cables can prevent costly interruptions to the power supply during upgrade work or repairs on energy networks, Nexans have designed leads specifically to connect equipment in a high-voltage (132kV) system on a temporary basis . Due to the widespread introduction of
Euro TechCon 2011 will take place from 7-9 November, 2011 at the Hilton Warwick Hotel in Warwick, United Kingdom. TechCon is a forum for the discussion of technology development and solutions which provide improvements in key high voltage asset management and maintenance strategies and practices.
