The electricity sector in India has seen rapid growth over the past few decades. With installed capacity of 373 GW, India is able to meet the demand for electricity. As generation capacity has grown, an extensive network of transmission lines has also been developed for evacuating power produced by different electricity generating stations and distributing …
As elaborated in our previous post, Dynamic Contact Resistance Measurement (DCRM) tests play a pivotal role in preventing unexpected failures of High Voltage (HV/EHV/UHV) Circuit Breakers by cohesively assessing the healthiness of their contacts. Widely considered as the most comprehensive CB testing methodology, the success of any DCRM test depends on a trifecta of the …
High Voltage Circuit Breakers (HV/EHV/UHV) act as the most effective protection mechanism against electrical mishaps in the high voltage environment of Substations. Since Circuit Breakers (CBs) are mechanical devices, they are vulnerable to breakdowns if timely performance tests are not conducted to ensure their functional healthiness. In our earlier post, we broadly covered the 9 …

When it comes to the cohesive protection of man, machine and infrastructure from electrical mishaps, Circuit Breakers (CBs) play a linchpin role, especially in the high-voltage (HV) environment of Substations. With rapid advancements in technology, while the quality of HV CBs has definitely improved over the last few years leading to a significant drop in …
