How Smart Home Technology Will Help In Saving Energy

Smart home technology is making a huge impact on the way we design our homes and the energy consumption. Smart home technology and home automation rely on the basic principle of preservation, an idea pre-programmed in our heads by our parents even before the ...Read More

Intelligent Electronic Energy Meter is Totally Tamper Proof

The Electrical metering instrument technology has come a long way from what it was more than 100 years ago. From the original bulky meters with heavy magnets and coils, there have been many innovations that have resulted in size & weight reduction in addition ...Read More

What is Poisson Distribution

Just like Binomial Distribution, Poisson Distribution is also a random variable distribution. We apply Poisson distribution in any one of the following cases: n, the number of times that the experiment is conducted is sufficiently large. Occurrence of success is rare. Occurrence of success ...Read More

What is Phantom Loading

Phantom Loading When a energy meter is designed for high current loads, it is uneconomical to arrange such loads for testing purposes as it involves a considerable waste of time and power. To avoid this problem “phantom” or “fictitious” loading is done. In phantom ...Read More

Uses of Current Transformer CT

The ranges of an AC ammeter can be extended by using current transformer CT. To measure high currents, CT’s are used in conjunction with measuring instruments. They find wide spread applications in protection circuits of power system for operation of relays. Advantages of CT’s ...Read More
