  • Kenya Communications Project Fiber Optic Cable Laying

    Kenya Communications Project Fiber Optic Cable Laying

    The Authority is financing the laying of 2,500 kilometres of fibre across nineteen counties at a cost of Sh5 billion to enhance Internet access for Kenyans in the rural areas. William Kabogo Gitau in the company of Energy and Petroleum Cabinet Secretary Hon. James Opiyo Wandayi met senior officials from Kenya Power, the Communications Authority, and ICT. Kenya's fibre optic expansion is the most important project in Kenya's ambitious Digital Superhighway plan. The purpose is to raise fibre optic coverage of the country from 62% to 90% by the end of the next financial year. The project will gobble up Sh5 billion and target folks living in. NAIROBI, (CAJ News) – KENYA has passed the halfway mark of its ambitious project to lay 100 000 kilometres of optic fibre countrywide.

  • Transformer Substation Relay Protection Design

    Transformer Substation Relay Protection Design

    Transformer Differential Settings: Transformers are critical substation components that need sensitive protection. Relay protection for transformers involves calculations for differential current thresholds, through-fault stability, inrush restraint, and harmonic filtering to. This document supplements PJM Manual 07 which contains the minimum design standards and requirements for the protection systems associated with the bulk power facilities within PJM. The SEL-387E Current Diferential and Voltage Relay and SEL-387 Current Diferential and Overcurrent Relay come standard with an REF element, while this is an optional feature with the SEL-387A Current Diferential. Summary: Protecting a substation against electrical faults is critical to ensuring its ongoing productivity. As experts in substation engineering and design, we. Transformers are protected by fuses or circuit-interrupting devices such as breakers or circuit switchers with relays detecting faults and providing trip signals to the circuit-interrupting devices.

  • Small Substation Relay Protection Settings

    Small Substation Relay Protection Settings

    Use this Protection Relay Setting Calculator to calculate pickup current, time multiplier settings (TMS), operating time, coordination time interval (CTI), and plug setting multiplier (PSM) using fault current, CT ratio, and IEC 60255 curve parameters. Relay protection is essential to ensure the stability, reliability, and safety of electrical power systems. It can share data with up to four TiDL relays. All calculations are based on the available documentation/ information. These settings may be revaluated during the commissioning, according to actual and/or measured values.

    Substation Communication and Power Supply System Design

    In this article, we shall discuss how the control, monitoring, and communication systems in a power system have evolved, and issues the design engineers must focus on while designing these systems in.


  • What is the function of a fiber optic terminal box in a substation

    What is the function of a fiber optic terminal box in a substation

    Fiber optic terminal boxes provide a structured space where technicians can neatly arrange and label fiber optic cables, connectors, and splices. They often feature cable management trays, splice holders, and adapter panels, allowing for a systematic approach to fiber optic. Fiber Termination Box, also known as FTB, typically consists of two main parts: the outer shell body and the adapter tray that protects the fiber connector points. Its function is primarily to splice, secure, and protect the optical fibers connecting the incoming drop cable to the pigtail or patch cable. Fiber optic cables, composed of ultra thin glass or plastic fibers that transmit data as light signals, are extremely fragile. The number of ports of fiber optic junction boxes ranges from 8.
