The multi-wire branch is here to stay; so is ground fault protection. But we should unite these technologies only when it’s a good match. Ground-fault protection and the multi-wire branch circuit ...

Scientists in India have proposed using a multilayer neural network to find line-to-ground, line-to-line, and bypass diode faults in PV module strings. They tested the new approach on a 22.5 kW solar ...

In ground-mounted PV plants with central inverters, a fault in a single string can shut down the entire system. High failure rates and complex diagnostic processes make troubleshooting time-consuming ...

In this article, DANIEL ADAJI explores how smart gadgets, such as sensors, Internet of Things devices, machine learning algorithms, and other advanced technologies, can revolutionise fault detection ...

A friend who was buying an older house was concerned about electrical safety and asked for my opinion as an electrical engineer. All of the AC receptacles (also called outlets) in the house were the ...

Most homeowners think of grounding as a technical detail that only matters to electricians, yet it quietly decides whether a fault ends in a harmless trip or a house fire. When grounding is ...
