  2. Load bank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_bank

    A load bank is a piece of electrical test equipment used to simulate an electrical load, to test an electric power source without connecting it to its normal operating load. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] During testing, adjustment, calibration, or verification procedures, a load bank is connected to the output of a power source, such as an electric generator ...

  3. Cable fault location - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_fault_location

    Murray loop test employs the principle of wheatstone bridge for locating the fault. To perform this test, it is necessary to have a sound cable running alongside the faulty cable. One end of the faulted cable is connected through a pair of resistors to the voltage source. Also a null detector is connected. The other end of the cable is shorted.

  4. Rating plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rating_plate

    The plate frequently contains the names of the machine and its manufacturer, so the rating plate is often called a name plate (hence the term "nameplate capacity" for a generator), although many devices carry separate nameplates and rating plates. [1] For an electric machine, the power rating is the number on its rating plate and corresponds to ...

  5. Load rejection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_rejection

    Load rejection in an electric power system is the condition in which there is a sudden load loss in the system which causes the generating equipment to be over-frequency.. A load rejection test is part of commissioning for power systems to confirm that the system can withstand a sudden loss of load and return to normal operating conditions using its governor. [1]

  6. Cable tester - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_tester

    A cable tester is an electronic device used to verify the electrical connections in a signal cable or other wired assembly. Basic cable testers are continuity testers that verify the existence of a conductive path between ends of the cable, and verify the correct wiring of connectors on the cable. More advanced cable testers can measure the ...

  7. VLF cable testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VLF_cable_testing

    Frequency ranges used are within the range of 0.01 Hz to 0.1 Hz, where frequency selection depends on the load presented by the cable. Test voltage levels are either calculated using a multiple of the cable's nominal phase-phase voltage or via tables in IEEE 400.2; typically they are in the range of 1.5 U0 to 3 U0.

  8. Open-circuit test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-circuit_test

    Circuit diagram for open-circuit test. The open-circuit test, or no-load test, is one of the methods used in electrical engineering to determine the no-load impedance in the excitation branch of a transformer. The no load is represented by the open circuit, which is represented on the right side of the figure as the "hole" or incomplete part of ...

  9. Electrical cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_cable

    An electrical cable is an assembly of one or more wires running side by side or bundled, which is used as an electrical conductor to carry electric current. Electrical cables are used to connect two or more devices, enabling the transfer of electrical signals , power , or both from one device to the other.
