🔧⚡ Tech Tuesday – Neutral CT Explained ⚡🔧

What exactly does a Neutral CT do in a power system? 🤔

In medium and large power distribution systems, a Neutral Current Transformer (Neutral CT) plays a critical role in monitoring and protection. It measures the current flowing through the neutral conductor and helps detect conditions like:
⚡ Ground faults
⚡ Unbalanced loads
⚡ Leakage currents
⚡ Abnormal system conditions

When the system detects unexpected current in the neutral, the protection relay can alarm or trip the system before major equipment damage occurs. In simple terms — it’s another layer of intelligence helping keep your electrical system safe, reliable, and balanced.

💡 Here’s a discussion question for everyone in the industry:
👉 In what situations would you NOT require an additional Neutral CT in a system?

Is it because there is another device talking care of this leakage current?
Is it system grounding dependent?
Does application or sensitivity requirement matter?

Let’s hear your thoughts and field experience 👇

🔧⚡VFD Cap Reforming in Tech Tuesday ⚡

VFDs contain electrolytic DC bus capacitors that rely on an internal oxide layer for insulation, and when a drive sits idle for extended periods (typically 6–12 months or more), this layer begins to degrade, increasing leakage current and risking failure if full voltage is suddenly applied.

Reforming is the process of safely rebuilding this layer by gradually applying voltage, either through a controlled power source, this simple step helps prevent unexpected damage, extends equipment life, and ensures reliable startup, especially for stored or standby drives.

The device used to reform the capacitors is called is called cap reformer. There are many cap reformers in the market, but we are showing this two-part reformer c/w variac in one box and controller and DC power supply in the other box.

Tech Tuesday – Lean Designs Build Better Products ⚙️

As the title says, lean designs create better products — systems that are easier to understand, build, maintain, and troubleshoot.
Sometimes designs introduce unnecessary complexity by adding extra components to achieve something that can be accomplished with fewer, standard, commonly available parts.

Example from a PLC Panel Design
We recently reviewed a PLC panel where one terminal strip was raised and isolated from the back pan. Additional grounding terminals were then installed on this isolated rail to terminate shielded or isolated grounds. (It is hard to see in the picture, but it is done that way)

A Leaner Approach
This can be achieved more simply just using feed-through terminals for isolated grounds.
Key advantage of this method:
• If the PLC card includes an isolated ground terminal, individual shields can be extended from the feed through terminals and terminated directly at the card.
• Otherwise, all terminals connected to the shield wires can be jumpered together, with a single conductor routed to the isolated ground point.
• Provides flexibility to easily isolate or relocate the ground reference point

Lean design helps reduce parts, simplify assembly, and improve long-term serviceability — all while maintaining proper electrical practices.

⚡Complete Electrical for a Land Dredge on Friday Factory Floor!!🔧

We are excited to showcase this challenging and rewarding project, completed on schedule while addressing several missing components in the original design.

We were honored to provide a complete electrical solution — from control panels and programming to on-site installation and commissioning.

It was great to see the system come to life — from powering up the motors on the hydraulic power units to watching the large arms and pumps operate smoothly. The project required creative thinking and practical, out-of-the-box solutions to ensure everything worked as intended.

If you have a challenging project, we work with equipment ranging from 12VDC systems to 35kV AC switchgear.

🔧⚡Tech Tuesday | Custom Printed Case for HMI ⚡

When a customer approached us with a request to mount a bare HMI screen in a panel door, we quickly identified a key challenge — the screen was fragile in its original form, and the application required it to be exposed to water and harsh environmental elements.

Protecting sensitive electronic components in industrial environments always requires practical thinking and creative solutions.

After reviewing several options, we developed an effective approach:
• Designed and 3D printed a custom bezel to securely mount the screen on the panel door
• Added a protective window kit to provide an additional barrier against moisture, dust, and external exposure
• Ensured the final assembly maintained functionality while improving durability and reliability in the field

This is a good example of how simple but innovative solutions can help adapt delicate equipment for rugged industrial applications.

We work closely with customers to find practical ways to integrate components safely even when the original product was not designed for harsh environments.

⚡Retrofitted 5KV Switchgear on Friday Factory Floor!!🔧

Many switchgear installations are aging and require either replacement or retrofitting. Retrofitting offers several advantages compared to replacing with completely new gear — including faster turnaround, lower cost, and the ability to reuse existing cables and connection arrangements.

Recently, we completed a retrofit of 5kV switchgear, including a Main-Tie-Main (MTM) lineup with a generator synchronization breaker. Most of the components were supplied loose on pallets and bare sections, and we successfully integrated and upgraded the equipment to restore full functionality.

As you know, we can design and build new switchgear, but we can also retrofit, recondition, and repair existing gear to extend its life and bring it back to like-new condition.
