Hello Sir,
I am a huge fan of yours. I recently ran into your blog and have been hooked since. Your blog contains all vital information that
an electrical engineer, like me, needs to know and I thank you for the pain that you took to make it available for everyone. I have
one request, if its not too much for you, can you please explain relay coordination in an industry or substation using an example?
Thank you and keep up the good work. Well always look up to you for inspiration.

Jignesh,
Thanks a lot for your Blog. I have a question for you:
What is the impact of modeling or not modeling the static wire in a Transmission, Distribution line? I am doing a model for a
transmission line and I want to know how much details I need to have to have reasonable results.
