What is Hydrant System ?

Hydrant System Definition

A hydrant system is a water-based fire protection setup in thermal power plants, including components like valves, hoses, and nozzles.

Components of a Hydrant System

Isolation gate valves installed above ground on RCC pedestals around areas to be protected.

Hydrant valves (external/internal)

Hose cabinets

Couplings

Branch pipe

Hydrant System Requirements

The system must maintain 3.5 Kg/cm² pressure at the farthest point, with a max velocity of 5 m/s in the main pipes.

Spray System Working Principle

The spray system automatically detects and controls fires using deluge valves and fire detection devices.

High Velocity Water Spray System (HVWS)

The HVWS is a fire protection system with automatic detection and extinguishing features, covering critical areas like transformers and oil storage tanks.

Transformer operation and maintenance

Transformer operation and maintenance

Transformer Operating TemperatureDuring operation, transformers generate copper losses and iron losses, both of which are converted into heat, causing the transformer’s temperature to rise. Most transformers in China use Class A insulation. Due to heat transfer characteristics, significant temperature differences exist between different components during operation: winding temperature is the highest, followed by the core, and then the temperature of the insulating oil (with upper-layer oil being

What is Voltage Stability in Power Systems?

Definition of Voltage StabilityVoltage stability in a power system is defined as the ability to maintain acceptable voltages at all buses under both normal operating conditions and after being subjected to a disturbance. In normal operation, the system’s voltages remain stable; however, when a fault or disturbance occurs, voltage instability may arise, leading to a progressive and uncontrollable voltage decline. Voltage stability is sometimes referred to as "load stability."Voltage instability c

What is Dual Trace Oscilloscope？

What is Dual Trace Oscilloscope？DefinitionA dual-trace oscilloscope uses a single electron beam to generate two separate traces, each deflected by an independent input source. To produce these two traces, it primarily employs two operating modes—alternate mode and chopped mode—controlled by a switch.Purpose of a Dual-Trace OscilloscopeWhen analyzing or studying multiple electronic circuits, comparing their voltage characteristics is often critical. While one could use multiple oscilloscopes for

What is Cathode Ray Oscilloscope (CRO)？

What is Cathode Ray Oscilloscope (CRO)？DefinitionA cathode ray oscilloscope (CRO) is an electrical instrument for measuring, analyzing and visualizing waveforms and other electronic/electrical phenomena. As a high - speed X - Y plotter, it shows an input signal against another signal or time. Capable of analyzing waveforms, transient phenomena and time - varying quantities across a wide frequency range (from very low to radio frequencies), it mainly operates on voltage. Other physical quantities
