A new hyper-scale data center was built in rural New Jersey that’s served by more than 100 25kV cables. Six months into operation, a cable termination failed catastrophically, and the forensic ...

Over the years, Hendrix has maintained that porcelain insulators (and porcelain spacers) should not be used with covered conductor. This is due to the dielectric incompatibility between the two ...

Electrical insulation is the cornerstone of high voltage system reliability, serving to impede undesirable current flow and thereby prevent catastrophic failures. Integral to the performance of ...

What is partial discharge? Methods for measuring PD. How PD impacts high-voltage cables. Partial discharge (PD) is evidence of a degrading insulation system, which could trigger costly repairs and ...

Power cables are important assets in electric utility transmission networks for the reliable operation of power systems. To prevent catastrophic failures in underground cables and terminations, it is ...

Dogged by decades of under-investment, grid operators are turning to smarter grid-enhancing technologies to predict potential failures before they happen, improve system reliability, and save on costs ...
