Generally there are two power transmission and distribution systems that are used to transmit electrical energy i.e. HVDC or High Voltage Direct Current transmission system and HVAC or High Voltage Alternating Current transmission system. Now let’s see the advantages and disadvantages of both power distribution systems. COMPARISION OF HVAC & HVDC SYSTEMS HVAC transmission is… Read More »
The distribution of current throughout cross section of a conductor is uniform only when DC is passing through it. When Alternating Current(AC) is passing through a conductor, the current is non uniformly distributed over the cross section in a manner that the current density is higher at the surface of the conductor compared to the… Read More »
Being an electrical engineer on a construction project is a very tedious and responsible job. Electrical site engineer is wholly responsible for the ordering of materials as per the pre approved material submittals and an electrical project specifications. Here in this article we have included the complete list of testing requirements for an electrical system… Read More »
As an electrical engineer or professional you already know that an electrical or distribution substation is very important components of any power distribution system. Normally electrical grid can be considered as simple circuit which includes power source or generation, power transmission and electricity distribution lines for connecting to the electricity consumers. The role of electrical… Read More »

Distributions systems represent an important parts in the electrical grids and for this reasons the electrical generation & distribution companies delicate approximately 40% of the capital investment for distribution systems while the remaining is given to generation and transmission (40% generation & 20% transmission). The power distribution system is particularly important for an electrical utility… Read More »
