Prepare for the power transmission industry. Build your understanding of substations, protection, testing and commissioning — then connect with people who share your passion.
A Surge Protection Device (SPD) is a component of the electrical installation protection system. SPDs are used for electric power supply networks, telephone networks, and communication and automatic control buses. They are connected in parallel on the power supply circuit…
Protection systems in building electrical installations rely on key rules for selecting Surge Protective Devices (SPDs) and their supporting components. SPDs are chosen based on their type, the quantity needed, and how much lightning they must withstand, which is expressed…
Lightning protection aims to guard both building structures and electrical installations from the risks posed by lightning strikes. Protection systems are designed with key mechanisms: firstly, by capturing lightning current and directing it to earth through the most direct path,…
Why read this? New electrical engineers and substation practitioners will gain insight into why and how High Voltage (HV) Current Transformers are used in modern protection, metering, and power quality applications. This article explains the engineering concepts that underpin HV…
Why read this? As a newly qualified electrical engineer, understanding environmentally friendly alternatives in high-voltage equipment is increasingly relevant—especially for substations where traditional insulation methods present risks and environmental issues. This profile on Trench Group’s Clean Air Current Transformer (CT)…
Why this matters: If you're a newly qualified electrical engineer, understanding high voltage instrument transformers is critical for safe and accurate metering, protection, and control within substations and across the transmission network. This article explains the main types, how they…

Vee Rajmohan has revealed that power transformers now account for 70–75 percent of the company’s order book, according to a Manufacturing Today India report.LinkedInFacebookXWhatsAppCopy captionCopy link
Siemens Energy is advancing efforts to expand transformer manufacturing capacity while actively reducing emissions. According to Transformer Magazine, the company is implementing a range of strategies for decarbonization in both existing factories and new facilities, with specific projects in Germany,…
Protection system design for substations involves precise coordination strategies. Two key concepts—selectivity and cascading—often arise together but address distinct aspects of circuit protection. Selectivity refers to the practice of ensuring only the most appropriate protective device operates when a fault…
