Published by FLEX-CORE®, Div. Morlan & Associates, Inc. Current Transformers Usually rated on a basis of 5 amperes secondary current and used to reduce primary current to usable levels for transformer-rated meters or transducers and to insulate and isolate them from high voltage circuits. Current Transformer Ratio Ratio of primary to secondary current. For aContinue reading “FLEX-CORE® Glossary of Terms”

What & Why of PFC and PSC Test?

Published by Carelabs (Carelabz) Prospective Short Circuit (PSC) and Prospective Fault Current (PFC) are both designed to calculate the maximum current that will flow within a fault loop path during the event of an electrical fault as required by regulations.  The Prospective Short Circuit Current is the maximum current that could flow between Line and Neutral conductors on a single phase supply or between Line conductorsContinue reading “What & Why of PFC and PSC Test?”

What is Ground Fault Testing, Why is it Important?

Published by Carelabs (Carelabz) A ground fault is any short circuit that outcomes in an unintentional connection amid a ground and energized ungrounded phase conductor and ground. Ground faults are the most common type of fault on power distribution systems. They are due to the insulation failure or accidental grounding of an ungrounded phase conductorContinue reading “What is Ground Fault Testing, Why is it Important?”
