Theory

When discussing high-voltage power systems, two terms that frequently come up are the "corona effect" and "plasma." While they might sound complex, with a little unpacking, these phenomena can be understood more intuitively. 1. The Basics: What is an Ion? Before we...

AC power systems are at the heart of most of our modern electrical infrastructure. They enable the transmission and use of electrical energy across vast distances, powering everything from household appliances to large industrial machinery. Understanding the...

The concept of reactive power comes into play in AC (Alternating Current) systems, not in DC (Direct Current) systems. This has to do with the nature of AC and DC power and the types of loads they typically serve. Reactive power (often represented by the variable Q...
