Overview From past to present, the needs and technologies have shifted. Substation may not have always been metered directly in the past for every individual feeder, except for critical loads. But over the years, technology and engineering requirements have changed rapidly, thus increasing the network of critical loads. As the need for increased amounts of …
Overview In electrical systems and various industrial applications, contactors are used to remotely switch electrical power. The coil-actuated switch operates exactly like a relay, but a contactor typically handles higher amperes in the switch mechanism itself. The contactor coils are designed to be able to cope with continuous duty. Typically the contacts, two each to …

Overview In large & closed commercial buildings such as shopping malls, hospitals, multi-storey offices etc. for effective cooling, ducts are installed. Measuring & monitoring these climatic parameters is essential. This serves in maintaining the environmental parameters circulated by the cooling duct. For this purpose, a transducer is installed for the monitoring of parameters at the …

Overview In most of the industrial applications, there are multiple devices and machines installed to carry out various processes in the industry. These electrical loads include 3 phase loads such as motors, lathe machines etc and 1 phase loads like lighting system, air conditioning or single phase motors etc. The continuous and reliable monitoring of …

The Problem Food retail stores or supermarket utilizes an average of 52.5 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity and 38,000 Btu (British thermal unit for heat) of natural gas per square feet annually. It has been established that a 10% reduction in energy costs for the average supermarket is equivalent to increasing net profit margins by …
The Problem For sugar production in a sugar factory, the main process which consumes most of the electrical energy is the juice extraction and purification process. This is because purified sugarcane juice yields a far better quality of sugar. The purification process is achieved by heating the juice and treating it with chemicals like lime …
