The secondaries, which are one or several cores with their corresponding windings, are located in the top section of the unit within the external aluminum enclosure. These active parts are inside a metal enclosure that acts as a low-voltage shield, with the main oil-paper insulation wrapped around, ending up with a high-voltage shield. The gap between this shield and the external enclosure is fi lled with oil. The secondary cable outputs run into the secondary terminal box through an oil-paper insulated capacitive bushing with several shields for proper electrical fi eld distribution.

  • Specifying HV/MV Transformers at Large Sites for an Optimized MV Electrical Network
    Specifying HV/MV Transformers at Large Sites for an Optimized MV Electrical Network White Paper 258 Revision 0 by Juan Tobias Daniel Radu Philippe Dogny Jean-Luc Belletto Executive summary Generally, large industrial site designs use standard specifications of the HV/MV transformer which leads to oversizing and a higher cost of the MV primary and secondary electrical distribution system. This paper introduces the factors to consider when specifying the HV/MV transformer and raises awareness of the impact of short circuit impedance (zt) on the cost of the HV/MV transformer and the MV electrical distribution installa- tion (MV switchgear and cabling). Finally, a case study of a large date center is presented to show how a reduction in the total cost of ownership (TCO) can be achieved.

  • What Is a Neutral Earthing Resistor?
    Fact Sheet What is a Neutral Earthing Resistor? The earthing system plays a very important role in an electrical network. For network operators and end users, avoiding damage to equipment, providing a safe operating environment for personnel and continuity of supply are major drivers behind implementing reliable fault mitigation schemes. What is a Neutral Earthing Resistor? A widely utilised approach to managing fault currents is the installation of neutral earthing resistors (NERs). NERs, sometimes called Neutral Grounding Resistors, are used in an AC distribution networks to limit transient overvoltages that flow through the neutral point of a transformer or generator to a safe value during a fault event. Generally connected between ground and neutral of transformers, NERs reduce the fault currents to a maximum pre-determined value that avoids a network shutdown and damage to equipment, yet allows sufficient flow of fault current to activate protection devices to locate and clear the fault. NERs must absorb and dissipate a huge amount of energy for the duration of the fault event without exceeding temperature limitations as defined in IEEE32 standards. Therefore the design and selection of an NER is highly important to ensure equipment and personnel safety as well as continuity of supply. Power Transformer Motor Supply NER Fault Current Neutral Earthin Resistor Nov 2015 Page 1 Fact Sheet The importance of neutral grounding Fault current and transient over-voltage events can be costly in terms of network availability, equipment costs and compromised safety. Interruption of electricity supply, considerable damage to equipment at the fault point, premature ageing of equipment at other points on the system and a heightened safety risk to personnel are all possible consequences of fault situations.

And take on the unit measures nearly were compared, statistics and analysis. Introduction Lightning accident is always an important factor affecting the reliability of the power supply of the electric line to send. Because of the randomness and complexity of lightning activity in the atmosphere, currently the world's research on knowledge transmission line lightning and many unknown elements. Lightning accident of overhead power transmission line is always a problem of safe power supply, lightning accidents accounted for almost all the accidents of 1/2 or more line. Therefore, how to effectively prevent lightning, lightning damage reduced to more and more by transmission line of the relevant personnel to pay attention[1-2]. At present, the measures of lightning protection of transmission line itself mainly rely on the erection of the overhead ground wire of the tower top, its operation and maintenance work is mainly on the detection and reconstruction of tower grounding resistance. Due to its single lightning protection measures, can not well meet the requirements of lightning protection.

  • Measurement Error Estimation for Capacitive Voltage Transformer by Insulation Parameters

Chau Received: 01 February 2017; Accepted: 08 March 2017; Published: 13 March 2017 Abstract: Measurement errors of a capacitive voltage transformer (CVT) are relevant to its equivalent parameters for which its capacitive divider contributes the most. In daily operation, dielectric aging, moisture, dielectric breakdown, etc., it will exert mixing effects on a capacitive divider’s insulation characteristics, leading to fluctuation in equivalent parameters which result in the measurement error. This paper proposes an equivalent circuit model to represent a CVT which incorporates insulation characteristics of a capacitive divider. After software simulation and laboratory experiments, the relationship between measurement errors and insulation parameters is obtained. It indicates that variation of insulation parameters in a CVT will cause a reasonable measurement error. From field tests and calculation, equivalent capacitance mainly affects magnitude error, while dielectric loss mainly affects phase error. As capacitance changes 0.2%, magnitude error can reach −0.2%. As dielectric loss factor changes 0.2%, phase error can reach 5′.

  • Electric and Magnetic Fields the Facts
    PRODUCED BY ENERGY NETWORKS ASSOCIATION - JANUARY 2012 electric and magnetic fields the facts Electricity plays a central role in the quality of life we now enjoy. In particular, many of the dramatic improvements in health and well-being that we benefit from today could not have happened without a reliable and affordable electricity supply. Electric and magnetic fields (EMFs) are present wherever electricity is used, in the home or from the equipment that makes up the UK electricity system. But could electricity be bad for our health? Do these fields cause cancer or any other disease? These are important and serious questions which have been investigated in depth during the past three decades. Over £300 million has been spent investigating this issue around the world. Research still continues to seek greater clarity; however, the balance of scientific evidence to date suggests that EMFs do not cause disease. This guide, produced by the UK electricity industry, summarises the background to the EMF issue, explains the research undertaken with regard to health and discusses the conclusion reached. Electric and Magnetic Fields Electric and magnetic fields (EMFs) are produced both naturally and as a result of human activity. The earth has both a magnetic field (produced by currents deep inside the molten core of the planet) and an electric field (produced by electrical activity in the atmosphere, such as thunderstorms). Wherever electricity is used there will also be electric and magnetic fields. Electric and magnetic fields This is inherent in the laws of physics - we can modify the fields to some are inherent in the laws of extent, but if we are going to use electricity, then EMFs are inevitable.

On-chip transformers com- bine bias, stability and input/interstage matching networks to enable compact designs. Balanced transmission lines with artifi- cial dielectric strips provide substrate shielding and increase the effective dielectric constant up to 54 for further size reduction. Consequently, the designed three-stage power amplifier occupies only an area of only 0.15 mmP. Under a 1.2 V supply, it consumes 70 mA and obtains small-signal gains exceeding 15 dB, saturated output power over 12 dBm and associated peak power-added efficiency (PAE) over 14% across the band. The variable-gain amplifier, based on the same principle, achieved a peak gain of 25 dB with 8 dB of gain variation. Fig. 1. Differential transmission line with floating artificial dielectric strips.
