- Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) analysis
-
The capture and analysis of both controlled and uncontrolled electromagnetic emissions absorbed by electrical utility equipment (generators,motors, transformers, switchgears, etc.) to determine if any uncontrolled sources of discharge are being emitted from within the electrical utility equipment.
- Generator Step-Up Transformer (GSU)
-
A transformer that takes the voltage from the generator and brings it up to the proper transmission voltage.
- High Frequency Current Transformer (HFCT)
-
A device used to measure alternating current (AC) with high frequency.
- Isolated Phase Bus (IPB)
-
A set of high current carrying conductors used to connect the generator to the step-up transformer.
- Neutral Ground Transformer (NGT)
-
A device used to provide a path to ground in an effort to bring the system ground and system neutral to equal potentials.
- Partial Discharge (PD)
-
According to IEC 60270 standard: Partial discharge (PD) is a localized electrical discharge that only partially bridges the insulation between conductors and which may or may not occur adjacent to a conductor.
- power supply enclosure
-
A Cutsforth enclosure that houses a power supply which accepts AC power from the plant and converts it to DC for use in various Cutsforth monitoring systems.
- Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD)
-
A device that measures temperature by detecting the changes in resistance of an internal thermometer element.
