SCADA Vulnerabilities and Electric Power Industry Abstract Electricity is an essential element of life in the United States. It is crucial to manufacturing‚ business companies‚ residences‚ and certain methods of shipping. A deficiency in electricity can not only cause trouble‚ but also financial loss due to reduced business and manufacturing production. This paper will look at the basic concepts of SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems‚ their vulnerabilities in regards

risk of fatal electric shocks though these can still occur if someone touches both line and neutral and is insulated from the earth. The RCD required is one with a residual tripping current of 30mA. It should be connected directly to the generator as shown in Figure 9-7. 9.1 Safety Warning Electricity can be extremely dangerous. If a person comes into contact with a live wire or faulty equipment with a voltage higher than 50V‚ it is possible for them to receive a fatal electric shock. The electricity

Computer power supply A computer power supply typically is designed to convert 120 V or 240 V AC power from the electrical company to usable power for the internal components of the computer. The most common computer power supply is built to conform with the ATX form factor. This enables different power supplies to be interchangeable with different components inside the computer. ATX power supplies also are designed to turn on and off using a signal from the motherboard (PS-ON wire)‚ and provide
