⚡ MV Cables on Tech Tuesday ⚡🔧
Did you know that most manufacturers of non-shielded medium-voltage (MV) cables recommend installing their cables on insulators or other non-conductive supports while maintaining proper phase-to-phase and phase-to-ground clearances?
However, when you visit substations, switchgear lineups, MCCs, and industrial facilities, you'll often see these same cables bundled together and supported directly on grounded metal structures.
So why is there such a difference between the manufacturer's recommendations and what is commonly seen in the field?
Is it driven by practical installation methods, equipment design constraints, industry experience, applicable standards, or something else?
💬 Tech Tuesday Discussion:
What has been your experience with non-shielded MV cable installations?
Have you encountered issues such as partial discharge, corona, insulation degradation, or have these installations proven reliable in your applications?
We'd love to hear your thoughts and discuss the engineering considerations behind this common industry practice.

🔧⚡ Transfer Switch Control Power – Tech Tuesday ⚡🔧
When utility power is lost, an automatic transfer switch must continue to have control power available to detect the outage, initiate generator start-up, and complete the transfer sequence. A UPS is one common solution used to maintain uninterrupted control power during the transition from utility to generator power.
❓ Tech Tuesday Question:
What other methods can be used to provide uninterrupted control power for an automatic transfer switch during the transition period between utility and generator power?
