  • Printer Tech Tips—Cause & Effects of Static Electricity in Paper
    Printer Tech Tips Cause & Effects of Static Electricity in Paper Problem The paper has developed a static electrical charge causing an abnormal sheet-to- sheet or sheet-to-material attraction which is difficult to separate. This condition may result in feeder trip-offs, print voids from surface contamination, ink offset, Sappi Printer Technical Service or poor sheet jog in the delivery. 877 SappiHelp (727 7443) Description Static electricity is defined as a non-moving, non-flowing electrical charge or in simple terms, electricity at rest. Static electricity becomes visible and dynamic during the brief moment it sparks a discharge and for that instant it’s no longer at rest. Lightning is the result of static discharge as is the shock you receive just before contacting a grounded object during unusually dry weather. Matter is composed of atoms, which in turn are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons. The number of protons and neutrons, which make up the atoms nucleus, determine the type of material. Electrons orbit the nucleus and balance the electrical charge of the protons. When both negative and positive are equal, the charge of the balanced atom is neutral. If electrons are removed or added to this configuration, the overall charge becomes either negative or positive resulting in an unbalanced atom. Materials with high conductivity, such as steel, are called conductors and maintain neutrality because their electrons can move freely from atom to atom to balance any applied charges. Therefore, conductors can dissipate static when properly grounded. Non-conductive materials, or insulators such as plastic and wood, have the opposite property as their electrons can not move freely to maintain balance.

  • 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.

  • Notes for Lab 1 (Bipolar (Junction) Transistor Lab)
    ECE 327: Electronic Devices and Circuits Laboratory I Notes for Lab 1 (Bipolar (Junction) Transistor Lab) 1. Introduce bipolar junction transistors • “Transistor man” (from The Art of Electronics (2nd edition) by Horowitz and Hill) – Transistors are not “switches” – Base–emitter diode current sets collector–emitter resistance – Transistors are “dynamic resistors” (i.e., “transfer resistor”) – Act like closed switch in “saturation” mode – Act like open switch in “cutoff” mode – Act like current amplifier in “active” mode • Active-mode BJT model – Collector resistance is dynamically set so that collector current is β times base current – β is assumed to be very high (β ≈ 100–200 in this laboratory) – Under most conditions, base current is negligible, so collector and emitter current are equal – β ≈ hfe ≈ hFE – Good designs only depend on β being large – The active-mode model: ∗ Assumptions: · Must have vEC > 0.2 V (otherwise, in saturation) · Must have very low input impedance compared to βRE ∗ Consequences: · iB ≈ 0 · vE = vB ± 0.7 V · iC ≈ iE – Typically, use base and emitter voltages to find emitter current. Finish analysis by setting collector current equal to emitter current. • Symbols – Arrow represents base–emitter diode (i.e., emitter always has arrow) – npn transistor: Base–emitter diode is “not pointing in” – pnp transistor: Emitter–base diode “points in proudly” – See part pin-outs for easy wiring key • “Common” configurations: hold one terminal constant, vary a second, and use the third as output – common-collector ties collector

  • Electricity Production by Fuel
    EN27 Electricity production by fuel Key message Fossil fuels and nuclear energy continue to dominate the fuel mix for electricity production despite their risk of environmental impact. This impact was reduced during the 1990s with relatively clean natural gas becoming the main choice of fuel for new plants, at the expense of oil, in particular. Production from coal and lignite has increased slightly in recent years but its share of electricity produced has been constant since 2000 as overall production increases. The steep increase in overall electricity production has also counteracted some of the environmental benefits from fuel switching. Rationale The trend in electricity production by fuel provides a broad indication of the impacts associated with electricity production. The type and extent of the related environmental pressures depends upon the type and amount of fuels used for electricity generation as well as the use of abatement technologies. Fig. 1: Gross electricity production by fuel, EU-25 5,000 4,500 4,000 Other fuels 3,500 Renewables 1.4% 3,000 13.7% Nuclear 2,500 TWh Natural and derived 31.0% gas 2,000 Coal and lignite 1,500 19.9% Oil 1,000 29.5% 500 4.5% 0 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2010 2020 2030 Data Source: Eurostat (Historic data), Primes Energy Model (European Commission 2006) for projections. Note: Data shown are for gross electricity production and include electricity production from both public and auto-producers. Renewables includes electricity produced from hydro (excluding pumping), biomass, municipal waste, geothermal, wind and solar PV.

  • Hydroelectric Power -- What Is It? It=S a Form of Energy … a Renewable Resource
    INTRODUCTION Hydroelectric Power -- what is it? It=s a form of energy … a renewable resource. Hydropower provides about 96 percent of the renewable energy in the United States. Other renewable resources include geothermal, wave power, tidal power, wind power, and solar power. Hydroelectric powerplants do not use up resources to create electricity nor do they pollute the air, land, or water, as other powerplants may. Hydroelectric power has played an important part in the development of this Nation's electric power industry. Both small and large hydroelectric power developments were instrumental in the early expansion of the electric power industry. Hydroelectric power comes from flowing water … winter and spring runoff from mountain streams and clear lakes. Water, when it is falling by the force of gravity, can be used to turn turbines and generators that produce electricity. Hydroelectric power is important to our Nation. Growing populations and modern technologies require vast amounts of electricity for creating, building, and expanding. In the 1920's, hydroelectric plants supplied as much as 40 percent of the electric energy produced. Although the amount of energy produced by this means has steadily increased, the amount produced by other types of powerplants has increased at a faster rate and hydroelectric power presently supplies about 10 percent of the electrical generating capacity of the United States. Hydropower is an essential contributor in the national power grid because of its ability to respond quickly to rapidly varying loads or system disturbances, which base load plants with steam systems powered by combustion or nuclear processes cannot accommodate. Reclamation=s 58 powerplants throughout the Western United States produce an average of 42 billion kWh (kilowatt-hours) per year, enough to meet the residential needs of more than 14 million people.

  • Clean Electricity Payment Program a Budget-Based Alternative to a Federal Clean Electricity Standard
    Clean Electricity Payment Program A budget-based alternative to a federal Clean Electricity Standard August 2021 Clean energy legislation this year is critical to jumpstart investments in the full set of clean energy solutions required to meet ambitious climate goals. One approach used widely at the state level—a Clean Energy Standard—requires electricity suppliers to use clean energy to meet a growing share of the electricity delivered to their customers. Senator Tina Smith (D-MN) is promoting an alternative approach, the Clean Electricity Payment Program, that relies on incentives to scale-up clean energy investments. What is the Clean Electricity Payment Program (CEPP)? The CEPP is a budget-based alternative to a traditional Clean Electricity Standard (CES) that is designed for passage via the Budget Reconciliation process. It works by providing federal investments and financial incentives to suppliers that deliver electricity directly to retail consumers to supply more clean electricity each year. It is not a regulatory mechanism and does not create a binding mandate. What are the goals of the program? The CEPP is part of an overall package of incentives in the climate portion of the proposed reconciliation package that collectively aims to achieve an 80% nationwide average clean electricity goal by 2030. The CEPP does not require each electricity supplier to achieve this goal. Recognizing that each supplier has a different starting point, the CEPP provides incentives for all suppliers to increase their total clean electricity share each year at an equitable pace. Electricity suppliers that start below the national average are not expected to catch up, and those already meeting very high shares are assigned a smaller annual increase.

  • Resistors, Diodes, Transistors, and the Semiconductor Value of a Resistor
    Resistors, Diodes, Transistors, and the Semiconductor Value of a Resistor Most resistors look like the following: A Four-Band Resistor As you can see, there are four color-coded bands on the resistor. The value of the resistor is encoded into them. We will follow the procedure below to decode this value. • When determining the value of a resistor, orient it so the gold or silver band is on the right, as shown above. • You can now decode what resistance value the above resistor has by using the table on the following page. • We start on the left with the first band, which is BLUE in this case. So the first digit of the resistor value is 6 as indicated in the table. • Then we move to the next band to the right, which is GREEN in this case. So the second digit of the resistor value is 5 as indicated in the table. • The next band to the right, the third one, is RED. This is the multiplier of the resistor value, which is 100 as indicated in the table. • Finally, the last band on the right is the GOLD band. This is the tolerance of the resistor value, which is 5%. The fourth band always indicates the tolerance of the resistor. • We now put the first digit and the second digit next to each other to create a value. In this case, it’s 65. 6 next to 5 is 65. • Then we multiply that by the multiplier, which is 100. 65 x 100 = 6,500. • And the last band tells us that there is a 5% tolerance on the total of 6500.

Walkey Page 2 MOSFET Operation (21) Drift • The movement of charged particles under the influence of an electric field is termed drift • The current density due to conduction by drift can be written in terms of the electron and hole velocities vn and vp (cm/sec) as =+ J qnvnp qpv • This relationship is general in that it merely accounts for particles passing a certain point with a given velocity 97.398*, Physical Electronics: David J. Walkey Page 3 MOSFET Operation (21) Mobility and Velocity Saturation • At low values of electric field E, the carrier velocity is proportional to E -the proportionality constant is the mobility µ • At low fields, the current density can therefore be written Jqn= µ qpµ !nE+!p E v n v p • At high E, scattering limits the velocity to a maximum value and the relationship above no longer holds - this is termed velocity saturation 97.398*, Physical Electronics: David J. Walkey Page 4 MOSFET Operation (21) Factors Influencing Mobility • The value of mobility (velocity per unit electric field) is influenced by several factors – The mechanisms of conduction through the valence and conduction bands are different, and so the mobilities associated with electrons and holes are different.

Using Embedded Resistor Emulation and Trimming to Demonstrate Measurement Methods and Associated Engineering Model Development* PHILLIP A.M.SANDBORN AND PETER A.SANDBORN CALCE Electronic Products and Systems Center, Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Maryland, College Park, MD, USA.E-mail: [email protected] Embedded resistors are planar resistors that are fabricated inside printed circuit boards and used as an alternative to discrete resistor components that are mounted on the surface of the boards.The successful use of embedded resistors in many applications requires that the resistors be trimmed to required design values prior to lamination into printed circuit boards.This paper describes a simple emulation approach utilizing conductive paper that can be used to characterize embedded resistor operation and experimentally optimize resistor trimming patterns.We also describe a hierarchy of simple modeling approaches appropriate to both college engineering students and pre-college students that can be verified with the experimental results, and used to extend the experimental trimming analysis.The methodology described in this paper is a simple and effective approach for demonstrating a combination of measurement methods, uncertainty analysis, and associated engineering model development.
