To avoid damage and prevent death, most modern electrical distribution systems are grounded. Grounded systems (also known as “earthed” systems), consist of an earth-referenced grounding conductor (e.g. the third prong on a small-scale electrical outlet), which is used as a return path to enable a breaker trip during an inadvertent short-circuit condition. Ungrounded systems, on the other hand, operate without an earth-referenced grounded conductor, so a breaker will not trip during...
High voltage transmission and distribution substations are where incoming and outgoing power circuits meet to form an electrical grid. When properly designed, any fault on an electrical system can be localized to the fault location without the need for a total system shutdown. Selecting the proper bus scheme within a high-voltage substation will allow circuit reliability to be maintained cost-efficiently. Single Bus Configuration In a single-bus configuration, each electrical circuit is conne...
Municipal water distribution systems contain thousands of miles of underground pipes to distribute potable water to homes and businesses. In order to supply water across long distances, and to reach all points within the distribution system, large pumping facilities are used to maintain water system pressure within these pipes.

Large industrial and commercial facilities consume sizable amounts of electricity for heating, cooling, and operations. By using a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) system, users can significantly reduce the facility’s electrical consumption. In addition, a CHP system can be made to operate as a backup source of power in the event of an electrical utility outage. What is a CHP system? Traditional electrical generation systems produce electricity inefficiently, with most of the energy wasted...
Designing electrical systems in hazardous locations, such as wastewater treatment facilities, aircraft hangars, fuel dispensing areas, and bulk storage areas, requires careful attention to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment against fire and explosion.
