  • Distribution Transformers
    Shoemaker_CH15.qxd 13/07/06 11:43AM Page 15.1 CHAPTER 15 DISTRIBUTION TRANSFORMERS The purpose of a distribution transformer is to reduce the primary voltage of the electric distribution system to the utilization voltage serving the customer. A distribution trans- former is a static device constructed with two or more windings used to transfer alternating- current electric power by electromagnetic induction from one circuit to another at the same frequency but with different values of voltage and current. Figure 15.1 shows distribution transformers in stock at an electric utility company ser- vice building. The distribution transformers available for use for various applications, as shown, include pole-type (Figs. 15.2 and 15.3), pad-mounted (Fig. 15.4), vault or network type (Fig. 15.5), and submersible (Fig. 15.6). The distribution transformer in Fig. 15.2 is self-protected. It is equipped with a lightning arrester, a weak-link or protective-link expulsion-type fuse (installed under oil in the trans- former tank), a secondary circuit breaker, and a warning light. The transformer primary bushing conductor is connected to one phase of the three-phase primary circuit through a partial-range current-limiting fuse. The transformer tank is grounded and connected to the FIGURE 15.1 Electric utility distribution storage yard. Forklift trucks are used to load transformers on line trucks.

    JOURNAL OF COMMUNICATION AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS, VOL. 32, NO. 1, 2017. 8 Coupling for Power Line Communication: A Survey Luis Guilherme da S. Costa, Antonio Carlos M. de Queiroz, Bamidele Adebisi, Vinicius L. R. da Costa, and Moises V. Ribeiro Abstract—The advent of power line communication (PLC) electric power cables. These power cables could be alternating for smart grids, vehicular communications, internet of things current (AC) or direct current (DC) power lines and the signals and data network access has recently gained ample interest in of PLC transceivers are subsequently coupled to them via a industry and academia. Due to the characteristics of electric power grids and regulatory constraints, the effectiveness of coupling circuit. In the case of power lines used to transmit coupling between the power line and PLC transceivers has AC power, the coupling circuit has also to filter out the AC become a very important issue. Coupling devices used to inject or mains signal. On the other hand, the coupling circuit simply extract data communication signals into or from power lines are has to block the DC mains voltage of the DC electric power very important components of a PLC system. There is, however, grids. an obvious gap in the literature for a detailed review of existing PLC couplers. In this paper, we present a comprehensive review During the late 1970s and early 1980s, new investigations of couplers, which are required for narrowband and broadband to characterize electric power grids as a medium for data PLC transceivers. Prevailing issues that protract the design of communication showed a higher potential in the range of couplers and consequently subtended the inventions of different frequencies between 5 kHz and 500 kHz [2].

    IOSR Journal of Engineering (IOSR JEN) www.iosrjen.org ISSN (e): 2250-3021, ISSN (p): 2278-8719 PP 62-68 Neutral Current Problem and Mitigation Techniques: An Overview Karuna Nikum1, Rakesh Saxena2, Abhay Wagh3 1(Department of Electrical Engineering, ACE, Mumbai University, India) 2(SGSITS, RGPV University, Indore, India) 3(Directorate of Technical Education, Mumbai, India ) Abstract: In this paper, an attempt to overview a various number of mitigation techniques and power quality problems associated with neutral current for commercial loads are discussed. The load connected to three phase four wire system are generally single-phase loads and generate triplen harmonic currents due to unbalancing in phases at neutral. There are various neutral current mitigation techniques including active and passive has been discussed. The existing approach and a framework of references for researchers in this field are provided. I. ‘Introduction The ample use of electronic devices in all types of loads i.e. residential, commercial and industrial is adversely affecting the power quality (PQ) of the system[1]-[10]. When three-phase four-wire distribution (3P4W) systems are used to supply single-phase low voltage loads such as lighting ballasts (electronic type), light emitting diodes (LED), compact fluorescent lighting (CFL), personal computers, monitors, laser printers, variable speed drives, adjustable speeds drives (ASD) in air conditioner, UPS systems and other electronic equipment. These loads produces harmonics especially 3rd harmonics in the neutral. In general, the distribution systems designed for linear load type and no longer suitable for delivering large number of non-linear and harmonic generating loads [11]-[15]. The concern PQ issues are high reactive power requirement, harmonic current, low power factor and increased losses[16], [17].

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking and request for comment. SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) proposes clarifying amendments to the test procedure for distribution transformers to revise and add definitions of certain terms, to incorporate revisions based on the latest versions of relevant Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) industry standards, and to specify the basis for voluntary representations at additional per-unit loads (PULs) and additional reference temperatures. The proposals in this NOPR are minor revisions that do not significantly change the test procedure. Therefore, none of the revisions would pose undue burden on manufacturers. DOE is seeking comment from interested parties on the proposal.
