Phase Imbalance in Distribution Networks

In a balanced three-phase network, the magnitudes of the voltages and currents in all three phases are the same and these voltages and currents phase are shifted symmetrically by 120 degrees to each other. If the magnitudes are not the same and phase-shifts are different from the 120 degrees, the network is unbalanced. Eskom strive […]

Load Shedding Consequences

When switchgear is poorly maintained and operated continuously, it is only a matter of time before something significant occurs. However, if these extreme events go unnoticed, the consequences can be long-lasting. During load-shedding, circuit-breakers should be opened when load-shedding starts and closed when load-shedding ends. Unfortunately, the contacts of these circuit-breakers are often concealed. As […]
