This document summarizes research on ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs). It describes the functional principles of GFCIs, including how they detect imbalances in current flowing through circuits to quickly shut off power and protect against electric shock. The document reviews testing of GFCI performance at different frequencies, regulatory requirements for GFCI installation, and analyses their trip characteristics to ensure protection against electrocution. It also discusses challenges for GFCI compatibility with adjustable speed drives and potential mitigation methods.
This article has been written mainly with North American users in mind, and is intended to provide readers with practical information on the operation and selection of GFCIs.

Fieldbus is the name of a family of an open, all-digital, serial, two-way, non-proprietary industrial computer network protocol that connect sensors, motors, switches, valves, actuators, and alarms to a distributed control system and Human Machine Interface (HMI). Devices on a field network and supports a wide range of architectures, for both safe and hazardous area applications. Instruments in a manufacturing plant are connected to the network in a variety of topologies including, star, ring, daisy-chain, tree and branch networks. Analogous to how a computer LAN works, a Fieldbus network allows a controller to communicate with hundreds of analog and digital sensing points.

Fault analysis in power system using power systems computer aided designIJAAS Team
This work presents a fault analysis simulation model of an IEEE 30 bus system in a distribution network. This work annalysed the effect of fault current and fault voltage in a distribution system. A circuit breaker was introduced into the system to neutralize the effect of the fault. The system was run on a PSCAD software and results were obtained. The system was monitored based on the start time and the end time of the fault and how well the circuit breaker reacts with those times. Fault occurred from 0.100 to 0.300 seconds before it was removed. At the time fault was not applied (i.e. from 0.00 to 0.100 and from 0.300 to 0.72), the circuit breaker was close and became open when fault was applied so as to cut off current flow through the line.The result obtained gave the disruption caused by the fault and the quick response of the circuit breaker in neutralizing it. Results gotten are based on when the circuit breaker is close and no fault is applied and when the circuit breaker is open due to fault. From this work, it was obtained that circuit breakers are very essential in system protection and reliability.
Suitable for all technical levels, this second of three parts continues the explanation of how electrical grounding works, the functions it performs in insuring safety and proper device or equipment operation, and why it is important.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.
