Transformers are built to last decades — but only if you take care of them. In our newest Giga Field Guide, we cover the most common warning signs of transformer issues and how to prevent them before failure: - Oil quality and contamination - Bushing cracks and leaks - Hotspots, aging insulation or other cooling issues With the right inspection and maintenance routine, you can extend your transformer's life by years. Watch the full video to see how Giga Energy builds transformers to last and how to keep yours running strong.

Because of their enormous energy capacity and electrical nature, batteries can generate great power. However, a thermal runaway can be triggered by even a slight disturbance. Watch this 26-minute presentation by James Close on PStv® to learn about the consequences of thermal runaway and the thermal instability of lithium-ion batteries. https://bit.ly/4aPvMI7 #BatterySafety #ThermalRunaway

Your lights are kept on and your devices running by something you do not see: a synchronous condenser, also called a synchronous compensator. Why? Well, because as the name says, it compensates when the sun is behind the clouds or the wind is having a "bad day". Sometimes they’re found in places you’d never expect - like remote Jeju Island in South Korea https://lnkd.in/dSgGFGQV , where one quietly safeguards the local grid. They are a perfect example of how a 21st-century problem can be solved with a 20th-century solution. ABB’s synchronous condensers revive a technology that's over a century old - and make it essential once again. They spin without a load or turbine, delivering the reactive power and grid stability that modern systems depend on. ⚡ Synchronous condensers may look like large motors, but they’re purpose-built for keeping the power grid stable and responsive - even when the sun hides or the wind slows down. 🎛 Installed at key points across the grid, they command the field, keeping everything in sync: managing reactive power, supporting voltage levels, and increasing system inertia. ⏱ Engineered to outrun, these machines respond to grid changes faster than you can blink - keeping our energy systems smooth and reliable in milliseconds. Learn more about synchronous condensers - they truly deserve the spotlight: https://lnkd.in/dsUgKZWU #BehindTheMotion #HighPower #LargeMotorsAndGenerators #EngineeredToOutrun

The efficiency has risen from 24.22% to an impressive 26.05%, while the fill factor (FF) has climbed from 83.2% to 85.2%. In addition, this remarkable device has achieved the lowest open-circuit voltage (Voc) loss ever recorded for comparable 1.55 eV bandgap PSCs, all while exemplifying outstanding long-term stability. https://lnkd.in/gQMzkinP

"Understanding transformer and motor power ratings: ⚡ kVA (kilovolt-ampere) represents apparent power supplied by the transformer. ⚡ kW (kilowatt) represents real power consumed by the motor. ⚡ The relationship is: kW = kVA \times Power\ Factor (pf) This helps in selecting the right transformer capacity to match motor power requirements efficiently."

The above setup is a part of high power EV charger where each converter is rated at 50 kVA. Here, back to back testing of power converters are demonstrated in grid connected mode. One of the active front end converters behaves as a DC voltage source that ensures a constant DC supply of 350 V. The other one plays an essential role in the power exchange (both active and reactive) between AC and DC terminals. Nearly, 125 A current is circulated between the converters. DEV KUMAR Ayush Bhatia

Anti-backflow principle: By detecting power in real time at the grid connection point (CT/electricity meter), the inverter adjusts the active power output in a closed loop or switches to charging to ensure that the active power at the grid connection point is ≤0, thus preventing electricity from being fed back into the grid (anti-backflow).
