The primary function of an electric pole transformer is voltage transformation. Power plants generate pwer at extremely high voltage levels, as this minimizes energy loss during long-distance ...

Hydroelectricity is another term for power generated by harnessing the power of damming rivers and moving water into generating plants. Not necessarily falling water, just moving water. There are many ...

Substation Relay Protection Training - This 12-Hour, instructor-led, live online course is designed for engineers and technicians from utilities or industries who participate in the design, ...

Saving electricity becomes an increasingly important issue the more the cost of power increases. There is no such thing as cheap electricity. That is a basic fact in today's world of increasing costs ...

Impedance is the total opposition a cable offers to alternating current. It includes both resistance and reactance and is generally expressed in Ohms. At the fundamental frequency, power systems are ...

Engineers rate power transformers according to the maximum output voltage and current they deliver. For a given unit, we'll often read or hear about the volt-ampere (VA) capacity, which equals product ...

Many people think Benjamin Franklin invented electricity with his famous kite-flying experiments in 1752. Franklin is famous for tying a key to a kite string during a thunderstorm, proving that static ...

High Voltage Safety Training - This 6-Hour (one day course) live online instructor led course is designed for electrical maintenance personnel responsible for Medium Voltage/High Voltage electrical ...

NFPA 70e Training - Our 6-Hour live online instructor-led arc flash and shock protection course is designed to introduce front-line qualified electrical workers to the electrical safety regulations ...

Basic electricity is described in many ways. When an electric circuit flows through a conductor, a magnetic field (or "flux") develops around the conductor. The highest flux density occurs when the ...

Dangers of Electricity include a variety of hazards that include Electric Shock, Psychological Damage, Physical Burns, Neurological Damage and Ventricular fibrillation resulting in death. Any form of ...

CLARINGTON, ONTARIO - Ontario Power Generation's (OPG) Darlington Nuclear Unit 2 has returned to service following a spring maintenance outage. Prior to this planned outage, Unit 2 had operated for ...
