Everything on the internet has a physical counterpart. Data and the existence of objects rely on electrical circuits assembled with specific algorithms. Everything on computers and the internet is formed by the coming together of 0s and 1s through certain […]

WHAT IS A SURGE ARRESTER (PARAFUDR) AND WHAT ARE ITS TYPES? Surge Arrester (Parafudr) is the general name for products that ensure sudden overcurrents, which are inevitable on phases especially during lightning events, are short-circuited to the ground. The information […]

PROTECTION OF MACHINERY IN INDUSTRY Industrial production depends largely on the performance of machinery. To ensure that machines and systems organized for purposes such as production, packaging, and stacking continue to operate, electricity must be used efficiently. Indeed, even a […]

Why does a TV motherboard burn out? The television is an indispensable part of almost every home. Models with high resolution and image quality, such as LCDs, have become available at very affordable prices in recent years. However, it must […]

WHAT IS OVERVOLTAGE? Overvoltage is a condition where the potential difference between the two ends of a conductor rises far above the withstand capacity of electrical and electronic devices. Overvoltages generally occur in very short durations, such as microseconds, and […]

Combi boiler malfunctions are frequently observed, especially after the warranty period has expired. In particular, the failure known as “motherboard burnout” can render this device, which dominates extensive heating systems, completely inoperable. Before discussing the causes of motherboard burnout and […]

The discharge of electrical charges in clouds results in currents such as lightning and flashes. Contrary to popular belief, these are not different words for the same phenomenon, but electrical currents with distinct characteristics. A lightning flash (şimşek) is a […]

Electrical and digital technologies hold a vital place in the medical sector, just as they do in every aspect of life. Thanks to the development of biomedical technologies, human-induced errors in the medical field can be reduced to zero, and […]

When we think of a holiday, the first things that come to mind are opportunities for self-reflection, rest, visiting relatives, and escaping from work and stressful environments. However, for some, these opportunities can turn into significant hardships and real ordeals—ranging […]

Current and voltage are the two fundamental elements of electricity. They are essential for electrical energy to operate any system and transform into other forms. They are the indispensable entities of our lives that everyone thinks they understand, yet almost […]

WHAT IS A SURGE ARRESTER (PARAFUDR)? A surge arrester (parafudr) is a protection element that discharges extremely high impulses, such as those caused by lightning, by short-circuiting the excessive current changes in the diagram to the ground. There are types […]

VOLTAGE REGULATOR A Voltage Regulator is the general name for products manufactured to prevent electrical energy from continuously arriving at levels that are too low or too high. Regulators do not function during instantaneous overvoltages or rapid fluctuations. They are […]

REDUCING INSURANCE COSTS Security is the primary requirement for utilizing and converting electrical energy. From the simplest light bulbs to massive industrial facilities, all electrical systems contain internal components that provide safety. Likewise, any location with an electrical installation must […]

As is well known, simultaneous long-term power outages occurred in many parts of Türkiye. Following this, authorities issued consecutive warnings to citizens to turn off their main switches and to keep them in the “off” position for another 15 minutes […]

Small household appliances such as toasters, kettles, hair dryers, microwave ovens, and coffee machines pose a greater danger than large white goods. Indeed, fires caused by these devices frequently appear in the news. Furthermore, electrical leakages observed in such appliances […]

PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN AGAINST PLANNED POWER OUTAGES Planned outages, which are announced in advance and conducted several times a year, can lead to great damage if precautions are not taken. Especially in industrial zones, damages resulting from power outages […]

PROTECTION AGAINST GRID-SOURCED MALFUNCTIONS Energy produced at power plants reaches buildings and facilities by passing through distribution and transmission lines. Since the transmission between the power plant, transformer, and building is carried out via electrical wires, it is impossible to […]

WHY DOES A REFRIGERATOR CONTROL BOARD BURN OUT? Today, it is possible to see smart device technology in white goods and household appliances alike. Functionally designed home appliances provide both energy savings and efficiency. For example, functional features in refrigerators […]

WHAT IS AN OVERVOLTAGE SURGE ARRESTER (PARAFUDR)? Communication systems and electrical transmission facilities are always open targets for lightning strikes. Because these systems have a high conductivity rate, being affected by lightning poses a serious risk. The protection of these […]

WHAT CAUSES SURGE ARRESTER (PARAFUDR) FAILURE? Ensuring the safety of voltage and current circulation is vital for both physical safety and financial reasons. A surge arrester is among the primary systems that provide this security. In cases such as static […]
