A new hyper-scale data center was built in rural New Jersey that’s served by more than 100 25kV cables. Six months into operation, a cable termination failed catastrophically, and the forensic ...

Most of the electrical power distribution infrastructure is static, and in many facilities, the mindset for electrical equipment and devices is “set it, and forget it.” However, much of the existing ...

Hipot testers are used to measure the leakage current and insulation resistance between all components and connections, verify solid ground connections, and test ground bonds. These tests include the ...

Bringing the benefits of 15 kV DC insulation resistance testing to challenging environments such as HV transmission and distribution substations, Megger’s new S1-1568 test sets combine noise rejection ...

Salar de Uyuni is the world’s largest salt flat, located at an elevation of 3700 m (12,140 ft) above sea level. This is also one of the largest lithium reserves in the world and presents very harsh ...

Insulation problems are to blame for around 30% or more of motor failures – meaning that electrical motor testing should be a larger part of every condition monitoring regime. Mike Teska, Product Line ...

This particular hipot test is used to determine if the insulation resistance between cables and pcb traces is high enough. Some equipment can be very susceptible if there is not adequate insulation ...

This article describes the testing results following routine performance assessment of an electrical motor both in its original state and after rebuilding it using products made by Zeus, such as the ...
