WELCOME TO POWER SYSTEM'S LOSS
Good day to everyone! This is to formally welcome you to PowerSystemsLoss site. PowerSystemsLoss limits itself to the understanding of the nature and implication of lossesin an Electrical System. The importance of power and energy loss in  Power Transmission and Distribution will be heavily tackled here.It is also expected in this site some comparisons between different electrical devices with respect to its efficiency in delivering power as well as network schemes which are also a determining factor.
System's loss reduction is now one of the most growing trends in every electric distribution utility. Primarily triggered by economics and regulation concerns, Transmission and Distribution companies now sets more focus in reducing losses and become as an efficient utility as possible in delivering power.

Information found in this site will be very useful not only to electrical practitioners but it is also our goal to help students better understand the actual world. Thank you and lets all enjoy learning!

MANAGING YOUR EXPECTATIONS
Before we start, let us first manage your expections regarding the understanding of Power System's Loss. We will begin by going back to basics, since we are not all on the same page yet. We will be leveling up the playing field by discussing first the very basic of all electrical principles. Yes! you heard me right, this is somewhat necessary since the very roots of System's loss in Power System are found in the most primitive informations. Once we start greasing up the engine, we will then discuss all the things you need to know about System's Loss in a Power System especially in Transmission and Distribution Utility.

Let me clear things up first before we proceed, we want to remind you always that this is not your typical classroom instruction learning. We encourage you to participate and be involved by giving us your comments and suggestions. By that way, we can all learn more, and when we learn more, we progress.

      Hi sir nikko, thanks for appreciating. This is one field of electrical engineering that is usually overlooked.

PARTS OF A POWER TRANSFORMER

What are the name of the basic parts of a Power Transformer? We can not deny the fact that only a handful of electrical engineering students are presently familiar with power transformers especially on what it looks like. Unlike a transformer we found in our homes, a power transformer’s appearance and construction is somewhat more complicated. It is not just a simple winding with a primary and secondary terminal although basically any transformer has one. The function that a power transformer plays in an electrical system is very important that an electric utility can not afford to loss it during its operation. Our discussion here will focus more on the basic parts and functions of a power transformer that are usually tangible whenever you go to a substation . Although not all power transformers are identical, nonetheless they all have the following listed parts in which the way of construction may differ.

ELECTRIC MOTOR FRAME SIZE STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS

ELECTRIC MOTOR FRAME SIZE STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS How is electric motor frame size being specified? Motor frame dimensions have been standardized with a uniform frame size numbering system. This system was developed by NEMA and specific frame sizes have been assigned to standard motor ratings based on enclosure, horsepower and speed. The current standardized frames for integral horsepower induction motors ranges from 143T to 445T. These standards cover most motors in the range of one through two hundred horsepower. Typical example of where you can locate the frame is shown in Fig 1.2.D – Frame No. The numbers used to designate frame sizes have specific meanings based on the physical size of the motor. Some digits are related to the motor shaft height and the remaining digit or digits relate to the length of the motor. The rerate, or frame size reduction programs were brought about by advancements in motor technology relating mainly to higher temperature ratings of insulating mate

ELECTRIC MOTOR NAMEPLATE SPECIFICATIONS

How do we interpret an electric motor nameplate? Motor standards are established on a country by country basis.Fortunately though, the standards can be grouped into two major categories: NEMA and IEC (and its derivatives). In North America, the National Electric Manufacturers Association (NEMA) sets motor standards, including what should go on the nameplate (NEMA Standard MG 1-10.40 "Nameplate Marking for Medium Single-Phase and Polyphase Induction Motors").
