How Does the Power Grid Work?
The modern world depends on electricity. It’s a crucial resource, especially in urban areas, but electricity can’t be created, stored, and provided at a later time. The instant it’s produced, it’s used no matter how far apart the producer is from the user. And the infrastructure that makes all this possible is one of humanity’s most important and fascinating engineering achievements: the power grid. -Patreon: http://patreon.com/PracticalEngineering -Website: http://practical.engineering Writing/Editing/Production: Grady Hillhouse Tonic and Energy by Elexive is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution License Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6fBPdu8w9U This video is sponsored by NordVPN.

How to pull a transformer DGA oil sample | Maddox Industrial Transformer
This step-by-step guide will show you how to pull an oil sample from your transformer. For more information on transformer maintenance visit: https://www.maddoxtransformer.com/news/should-i-repair-or-replace-my-transformer *For educational purposes only, should be performed by qualified professionals* To pull an oil sample from your electrical transformer for analysis: Step 1: Tank pressure is relieved First, the tank is relieved of pressure. Most transformers have an operating pressure of around 2 PSI. Before an oil sample can be taken the vacuum/pressure gauge must read 0. The gas sample valve is opened to relieve the pressure. Step 2: Purging the drain valve The cap is then removed from the sample port, and the drain valve is opened to purge any moisture, dirt, or other contaminants before sampling. Some people also recommend removing the drain plug on the end of the valve and cleaning it, just in case there are contaminates stuck to the back wall of the plug, but that’s usually not needed. Step 3: Preparing the syringe Sample syringes are provided by the laboratory performing the analysis. The valve on the syringe has 3 positions. Position 1: Closed to hose Position 2: Closed to bleeder Position 3: Closed to syringe With the valve in the “closed to bleeder” position, the sample can be taken. Step 4: Pulling the sample In this example, a small piece of plastic hose is used as an adapter to connect the syringe to the sample port. The adapter is also purged before the sample is taken. The syringe is inserted into the hose, the drain valve opened and the syringe is filled to a little bit over the 50cc mark. Step 5: Evacuating air from the syringe After the sample is pulled, the air in the syringe is evacuated With the syringe in an upright position, and the valve closed to either the bleeder or the hose, the plunger is pushed up, forcing the air and a little bit of oil out until the 50cc mark is reached. Step 6: Packing the syringe back up With the valve in the closed-to-syringe position, the syringe is wiped clean of oil, and packed for shipment to the laboratory for analysis. Step 7: Cleanup The sample port cap is re-attached, and the excess oil is disposed of per EPA guidelines. Step 8: Re-pressurizing the tank Finally, the tank is re-pressurized with nitrogen, and closed.

Challenges and Best Practices in the Solar Industry
At Fluke, we're asked about the best practices when it comes to installing and testing PV systems. Learn more about using Fluke tools in the solar industry. https://bit.ly/3C90NG1 Typically on an installation, you'll have several connections. You'll have your inverter connections, your combiner box connections. Best practice is to make sure that all of this is tight, connected, and your wire management is secure, that nothing can fall out. Best practices to have a technician using a clamp meter to make sure that you're not overloaded. So, having the essential tool like a clamp meter, or a high voltage clamp meter, to make sure that the strings for the inverter are not overloaded. It's important to use the right tools with the right cat ratings. Also, make sure you have the proper PPE gear on, which is your personal protective equipment. Good tools are essential on the job and also to ensure technicians go safely home to their families when their jobs are done.

5 Formulas Electricians Should Have Memorized!
Being a great electrician requires a strong knowledge of math. We use it daily from bending conduit, to figuring out what wire to pull, even simply counting light fixtures or circuits. But which formulas should we be more familiar with?

This formula is the relationship between Voltage, Amperage, and Resistance. In many cases, we are not given ALL of the information for a piece of equipment, but still need to determine either the voltage or amperage of it. Ohms law is simply E (voltage) over I (amperage) times R (resistance). So, draw a circle and put a large T in the center of it. Above the horizontal line of the T draw an E. On the left of the vertical line draw an I and on the right of the line draw an R. To assist you, cover up the letter you are attempting to solve. For instance, if I covered up E (voltage) it would leave me with I (amperage) multiplied by R (resistance). If I had a 20a piece of equipment with a 6 ohm resistance (20 x 6) it would be running at 120v! The next formula is Joules law. This one is slightly different than Ohms law and is the relationship between Wattage, Amperage, and Voltage. The circle is the same as above but with a P on top, an I on the left, and an E on the right. The math is the same also. So, if I was attempting to see how many watts were on a given circuit, cover up the P and I am left with I (amperage) times E (voltage). For a 20a circuit operating at 120v, I would have 2400w. Both of these formulas are very useful because we don’t always get all of the information we need on the equipment nameplate. Voltage Drop is something that every electrician should know how to figure out. For a single phase circuit the formula is 2 x K(conductor) x I (circuit amperage) x L (length) divided by the circular mils of the conductor you are attempting to use. For 3 phase replace the 2 with a 1.732 (the square root of 3). If you have a copper conductor use 12.9 and use 21.2 if you are using aluminum conductors. The circular mils for electrical conductors can be found in the NEC codebook in Chapter 9 Table 8. The resulting number after crunching the equation is the amount of volts that are lost. You may find that you may need to upsize your wire (and perhaps the conduit) to get your voltage drop down to a reasonable level. Resistance formulas are needed for every electrical theory class! For a series circuit the total resistance is the sum of all the resistances. For a parallel circuit, it’s the reciprocal of the sum of all the reciprocals. So, 1 divided by 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + etc. An easier way for that last one would be product over sum formula. So, if you had a parallel circuit with resistances of 2, 3, & 4 the formula would be 2 x 3 x 4 divided by 2 + 3 + 4. Much Simpler! Lastly is Horsepower. Something to just keep in mind is that 1 HP is equivalent to 746 watts. For single phase motors the formula is HP= E (voltage) x I (amperage) x EFF (efficiency) x PF (power factor) divided by 746. For a 3 phase motor, simply insert 1.732 (the square root of 3) in front of the E. Efficiency you can find on the nameplate of the motor. If you have a completely balanced load that isn’t running a ton of motors you may have a power factor of close to 1.

Ask Mayfield Anything: PV Connectors and the 2020 NEC
Connectors in PV installations play integral roles in the inverter's ac and dc sides. National Electrical Code (NEC) changes in 2020 brought common installation methods into focus for designers and installers. On the dc side, the “intermatability” addition to Article 690 codified the proper matching of quick connectors from PV modules. And 705.11(D) and 230.46 brought specific requirements for the supply side connections made via connectors. In this episode of AMA, Ryan Mayfield is joined by Ross Murphy from Hubbell and David Penalva from HelioVolta / SolarGrade. The group discusses the standards being tested, proper installation methods, and common connector installation errors that can lead to future problems. ----------------------------------------------- Mayfield Renewables is a technical consultancy providing strategic support for solar and energy storage projects and products.
