Part 7: AC Power Distribution Systems & Standards (Overcurrent, Fuse & Circuit Breaker)

Published by Nikola Zlatanov* Complete Overcurrent Device Interest in complete overcurrent device selectivity has increased due to the addition of selectivity requirements to articles 700, 701, and 708 of the National Electrical Code (NFPA70). Many users, both commercial and industrial, use fuses and circuit breakers simultaneously. Traditional Time- Current Curve (TCC) analysis is known toContinue reading “Part 7: AC Power Distribution Systems & Standards (Overcurrent, Fuse & Circuit Breaker)”

Part 6: AC Power Distribution Systems & Standards (Power Quality)

Published by Nikola Zlatanov* Power Quality Terms Technical Overview Introduction Sensitive electronic loads deployed today by users require strict requirements for the quality of power delivered to loads. For electronic equipment, power disturbances are defined in terms of amplitude and duration by the electronic equipment operating envelope. Electronic loads may be damaged and disrupted, withContinue reading “Part 6: AC Power Distribution Systems & Standards (Power Quality)”
