Prefluxing Technique to Mitigate Inrush Current of Three-Phase Power Transformer Mr.Pradeep J.Kotak1 Prof.Jaikaran Singh2
International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research, Volume 4, Issue 6, June-2013 135 ISSN 2229-5518 Prefluxing Technique to Mitigate Inrush Current of Three-Phase Power Transformer 1 2 Mr.Pradeep J.Kotak Prof.Jaikaran Singh Abstract— At the time of transformer energization, a high current will be drawn by the transformer. This current is called transient inrush current and it may rise to ten times the nominal full load current of transformer during operation. Energization transient can produce mechan- ical stress in the transformer causes protection system mal-function. This current often affects the power system quality and may disrupt the operation of sensitive electrical loads such as computer and medical equipment connected to the system. Reduction and the way to control ener- gization transient currents have become important concerns to the power industry. Conventionally, controlled switching or point on wave switching was the method being used to counter the problem, but this method requires the knowledge of residual fluxes of transformer before energization, which was quite tedious to get. Hence, this paper proposes a technique to mitigate inrush current in three phase transformers which involves injecting some amount of DC flux in the primary of transformer, the process known as prefluxing. After setting the initial fluxes of the transformer it is energized by conventional controlled switching. To verify the efficientness of the proposed prefluxing method to miti- gate inrush current for power transformer, a MATLAB simulation model is designed and developed. The results are verified using the sample in which transformer is connect with a supply source, which have conformed the efficient inrush current control. -

Five Signs That It Is Time to Replace the Mercury Based Relays and Switches in Your Industrial Application
• white paper • white paper • white paper • white paper • industry: industrial process heating author: brian bettini Five Signs That it is Time to Replace the Mercury Based Relays and Switches in Your Industrial Application And What to Look for in a Suitable Replacement Summary: Mercury relays have been used in industrial applications for decades, most commonly for power switching. For example, in applications that use process heating, mercury relays are traditionally used to power on and off of electric heaters efficiently. But these kinds of relays are being replaced for several reasons. The latest generation of mercury relay/mercury switch alternatives is safer and more accurate and just as durable. • white paper • white paper • The background: mercury in industry U.S. patents for a mercury-based relay can be found as far back as 1937, and they have been used in industry for decades.1 They were first developed for applications where contact erosion could present a challenge for more conventional relay contacts, or where constant cycling was needed (such as heating operations). Mercury relays have been known to overheat, however, and there have been known cases of relays exploding and sending vaporized mercury into the workspace. This can potentially create a serious environmental and safety issue, not to mention the need for costly clean-up. But even with that risk, and with the EPA and the European Union placing bans on the use of mercury, some manufacturers are still using mercury relays or similar outdated switching devices. Why? Some industrial engineers claim to prefer mercury relays because they believe them to be durable and capable of handling difficult and dirty environments. -
NTC Inrush Current Limiters, Application Notes
NTC Inrush Current Limiters Application notes Date: November 2015 © EPCOS AG 2015. Reproduction, publication and dissemination of this publication, enclosures hereto and the information contained therein without EPCOS' prior express consent is prohibited. EPCOS AG is a TDK Group Company. Application notes 1 Applications utilizing the non-linear voltage/current characteristic (in self-heated mode) 1.1 Inrush current limiting Many items of equipment like switch-mode power supplies, electric motors or transformers exhibit excessive inrush currents when they are turned on, meaning that other components may be dam- aged or fuses may be tripped. With NTC thermistors it is possible to effectively limit these cur- rents, at attractive cost, by connecting a thermistor in series with the load. The NTC thermistors specially developed for this application limit the current at turn-on by their relatively high cold resistance. As a result of the current load the thermistor heats up and reduces its resistance by a factor of 10 to 50; the power it draws reduces accordingly. NTC thermistors are able to effectively handle higher inrush currents than fixed resistors with the same power consumption. Figure 1 Inrush current curves in a simple DC circuit The NTC thermistor thus provides protection from undesirably high inrush currents, while its resis- tance remains negligibly low during continuous operation. 1.2 Series and parallel connection An NTC thermistor is always connected in series with the load to be protected. If the inrush cur- rent cannot be handled by one thermistor alone, two or more thermistor elements can be con- nected in series. Paralleling several NTC thermistors is inadmissible, since the load will not be evenly distributed. -
What Are Electronic Timing Relays? a Relay Is an Electromagnetic Switch Which Operates on a Small Electric Current
What Do You Know About Electronic Timing Relays? There are certain components that form the core of the modern control systems. One such important component used in many applications is an Electronic Timing Relay (ETR). Let us start by understanding some basics. What are Electronic Timing Relays? A relay is an electromagnetic switch which operates on a small electric current. These switches are used to turn on or off a circuit of higher amperage. When electricity is applied, the electromagnetic coil causes the armature to move, opening or closing the contacts, controlling the flow of electricity from a high current source connected to the load side of the relay. Relays act as bridges that activate larger currents using smaller ones. This allows you to use a relay to safely switch on and off different devices. An Electronic Timing Relay has circuitry integrated which controls the armature motion upon input voltage being applied. This addition gives the relay the property of time-delay actuation. Electronic Timing Relays are constructed to delay armature motion on coil energization, de-energization, or both. ETRs provide a wide range of selectable functions so that users can customize their specific machine operation. Relay Components and Operation What are the Best Features of Electronic Timing Relays? Electronic timing relays are used in a number of electronic applications, owing to the unending list of their features, which are as follows: • Multi-function timer, which allows the user to adjust between multiple timing functions. • High duty cycle applications. • DIN rail or panel mounting. • Resistant to mechanical shock and vibration. -
