Neutral Grounding
Introduction
In power system, grounding or earthing means connecting frame of electrical equipment (non-current carrying part) or some electrical part of the system (e.g. neutral point in a star-connected system, one conductor of the secondary of a transformer etc.) to earth. This connection to earth may be through a conductor or some other circuit element depending upon...

Understanding the Concept of Earthing In Electric Power System
Note: This is a paper published in the IOSR Journal of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (IOSR-JEEE), Volume 11, Issue 3 Ver. III (May. – Jun. 2016), pp. 29-33
Earthing is the concept of connecting a thing to the earth (or ground). In Power systems engineering, earthing is the one concept that cannot be dispensed with. Generators, reactors...
Compliance to Statutory Laws
I was reminded of this article which I have written about many years ago when I attended some product presentations about variable speed drives.
What catch my attention most was the closing words of the presenter that he just hate AS 3000 because most of his clients want him to comply with that standard, which is...

Selection of System Voltage
The selection of utilization and distribution voltage levels is one of the most important considerations in power system design. System voltages usually affect the economics of equipment selection and plant expansion more than any other single factor. It behooves the power system engineer to consider carefully the problem when designing the distribution system.
