  • Analysis of a Floating Vs. Grounded Output Associated Power Technologies
    To Float or Not to Float? Analysis of a floating vs. grounded output Associated Power Technologies Introduction In electrical circuits, voltage is always measured between two points: a point of high potential and a point of low or zero potential. The term “reference point” denotes the point of low potential because it is the point to which the voltage is referenced. An example of a voltage measurement is shown in Figure 1. Figure 1: Voltage measurement between line (high) and neutral (low) with the neutral tied to a ground reference point. The voltage at the low reference point is often referred to as a “ground” or “earth ground” because it is tied directly to the earth. Grounding electrical circuits is necessary for safety in the event that a fault occurs within the system. Without a good ground, there could be potential shock hazards on any piece of electronic equipment. Grounded systems can present their own set of problems. Small differences in potential within a grounding system can cause ground loops and these loops can have adverse effects ranging from data loss to presenting a severe safety hazard. As a result, it is beneficial to utilize a power source that gives the operator the flexibility of choosing either a grounded or floating output reference. This article will briefly outline the concept of grounding, discuss issues with grounding systems, and provide details about how Associated Power Technologies (APT) power sources can solve common issues with safety and grounding. Earth Ground and Chassis Ground Earth and Ground are perhaps the most misunderstood terms in electronics.

For longer antennas, this is no longer true.

In this paper, we develop a wireless magnetic resonant power transfer system that enables unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to provide power to, and recharge batteries of wireless sensors and other electronics far removed from the electric grid. We address the difficulties of implementing and outfitting this system on a UAV with limited payload capabilities and develop a controller that maximizes the received power as the UAV moves into and out of range.

Abstract: In this work transformation electromagnetics/optics (TE/TO) were employed to realize a non-homogeneous, anisotropic material-embedded beam-steerer using both a single antenna element and an antenna array without phase control circuitry. Initially, through theory and validation with numerical simulations it is shown that beam-steering can be achieved in an arbitrary direction by enclosing a single antenna element within the transformation media. Then, this was followed by an array with fixed voltages and equal phases enclosed by transformation media. This enclosed array was scanned, and the proposed theory was validated through numerical simulations. Further- more, through full-wave simulations it was shown that a horizontal dipole antenna embedded in a metamaterial can be designed such that the horizontal dipole performs identically to a vertical Citation: Mitra, D.; Dev, S.; Allen, dipole in free-space.

  • Hydraulics Manual Glossary G - 3
    Glossary G - 1 GLOSSARY OF HIGHWAY-RELATED DRAINAGE TERMS (Reprinted from the 1999 edition of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials Model Drainage Manual) G.1 Introduction This Glossary is divided into three parts: · Introduction, · Glossary, and · References. It is not intended that all the terms in this Glossary be rigorously accurate or complete. Realistically, this is impossible. Depending on the circumstance, a particular term may have several meanings; this can never change. The primary purpose of this Glossary is to define the terms found in the Highway Drainage Guidelines and Model Drainage Manual in a manner that makes them easier to interpret and understand. A lesser purpose is to provide a compendium of terms that will be useful for both the novice as well as the more experienced hydraulics engineer. This Glossary may also help those who are unfamiliar with highway drainage design to become more understanding and appreciative of this complex science as well as facilitate communication between the highway hydraulics engineer and others. Where readily available, the source of a definition has been referenced. For clarity or format purposes, cited definitions may have some additional verbiage contained in double brackets [ ]. Conversely, three “dots” (...) are used to indicate where some parts of a cited definition were eliminated. Also, as might be expected, different sources were found to use different hyphenation and terminology practices for the same words. Insignificant changes in this regard were made to some cited references and elsewhere to gain uniformity for the terms contained in this Glossary: as an example, “groundwater” vice “ground-water” or “ground water,” and “cross section area” vice “cross-sectional area.” Cited definitions were taken primarily from two sources: W.B.

ARIYANNINUOLA, ANTHONY, ALE OLUWAFEMI SOLOMON & APONJOLOSUN JOHNSON KAYODE Dept of Electrical and Electronic Engineering Technology, Rufus Giwa Polytechnic, Owo, Nigeria. ABSTRACT The principle of implementing Single Wire Earth Return System in power distribution was explained in this paper. The conditions which favour the use of this distribution system were discussed. The basic electrical equipment necessary for implementing this system were mentioned. The features of the transformers needed for this type of distribution were discussed. A detailed circuit diagram of single wire earth return system was illustrated and explained. The advantages and set backs of this system of power distribution were enumerated. The author emphases the need for employing Single Wire Earth Return System in the developing countries as its aids fast connection of the rural communities to the grid. The comparion between the conventional grid and single wire earth return system was carried out which revealed that single wire earth return system uses lesser electrical conductor for its transmission hence less expensive. The author also found out that Single Wire Earth Return System is a means of improving socio-economic activities in the rural communities where the conventional grid system cannot be reached. The author concluded by stating the need to embrace the use of Single Wire Earth Return System. Apart from rural electrification, the author stated other areas where Single Wire Earth Return System is useful. Recommendation were giving on the nature of soil where the earth electrode should be installed and how best to improve Single Wire Earth Return System [SWER] output voltage.

At present, most the WSNs are battery powered, but batteries must be changed frequently in this method. If the changes are not on time, the energy of sensors will be insufficient, leading to node faults or even networks interruptions. In order to solve the problem of poor power supply reliability in WSNs, a novel power supply method, the single-wire power transfer method, is utilized in this paper. This method uses only one wire to connect source and load. According to the characteristics of WSNs, a single-wire power transfer system for WSNs was designed. The characteristics of directivity and multi-loads were analyzed by simulations and experiments to verify the feasibility of this method. The results show that the total efficiency of the multi-load system can reach more than 70% and there is no directivity. Additionally, the efficiencies are higher than wireless power transfer (WPT) systems under the same conductions.

    TROUBLESHOOTING PRELIMINARY • To troubleshoot, one must first have a working knowledge of the individual parts and their relation to one another. • Must have adequate hand tools • Must have basic instrumentation: Accurate digital voltmeter with diode test mode for silicon units Clamp-on AC – DC ammeter Voltage detectors Cell phone very useful • Observe all safety precautions RECTIFIER COMPONENTS • Cabinet - protects the rectifier components from the elements • Circuit Breaker - serves as an on - off switch and overload protection • Transformer - reduces the line voltage to a useable level for the cathodic protection system and isolates the CP system from the incoming power • Rectifier Stack - used to change A.C. to D.C. (Silicon) or (Selenium) • Fuses - to protect the more expensive components (like Diodes, ACSS,etc. • Meters - used to indicate D.C. Voltage and D.C. Current • Shunts - used to accurately measure circuit current •Arrestors - protects the rectifier from voltage and lightning surges TROUBLESHOOTING - BASIC An adequate inspection and maintenance program will greatly reduce the possibility of rectifier failure. Rectifier failures do occur, however, and the field technician must know how to find and repair troubles quickly to reduce rectifier down time. MAJOR CAUSES OF RECTIFIER FAILURES 1. NEGLECT 2. AGE 3. LIGHTNING TROUBLESHOOTING PRECAUTIONS • Turn the RECTIFIER and the MAIN DISCONNECT OFF! • Be careful when testing a rectifier which is in operation. Safety first • Consult the rectifier wiring diagram before troubleshooting • Correct polarity must be observed when using DC instruments • Rectifier should be in the OFF position before using an OHMETER • Common sense prevails TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURES Most rectifier troubles are simple and do not require extensive detailed troubleshooting procedures.
