  • 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.

Through the analysis of lightning to the harmfulness of the power transmission line, puts forward the specific measures to prevent lightning accidents, improving insulation, installing controllable discharge lightning rod, reducing the tower grounding resistance, adding coupling ground wire and the proper use of send arrester electrical circuit transmission line. 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.

  • 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.

  • High Isolation Flyback Transformer Technical Article
    HIGH ISOLATION VOLTAGE FLYBACK TRANSFORMER By: Edgar C. Taculog Field Application Engineer, Asia TT Electronics New TT Electronics AEC-Q200 qualified and certified transformers are optimized for use with a gate- drive optocoupler to improve and simplify the design of isolated power supplies. Overview Transformers can often provide an inexpensive solution for a variety of applications. The purpose of the transformer is to isolate the secondary side of the circuit from the primary power source, transfer power efficiently from the electrical source to the target load and protect users from hazards like electric shock, fire and heat. The flyback transformer, which is an isolated version of a buck-boost transformer, does not in truth contain a transformer but a coupled inductor arrangement. When the transistor is turned on, current builds up in the primary and energy is stored in the core, this energy is then released to the output circuit through the secondary when the switch is turned off. The basic concept of this scenario can result in significant heat generation if not properly addressed.

Once the volunteer has left the room, explain to the participants that one of them will carry “electric current” but that no one should say anything. There will be paper pieces in a hat and the first person that picks a red colored piece of paper will carry the electric current. They should all remain silent, except when the volunteer guesses who carries the electric current. Once the volunteer has touched the shoulder of the person with the electric current, all of the participants should scream and make noise.

    How Transmission Works The transmission system moves electricity at the speed of light Key Transmission Concepts from power plants where it is produced to communities where it is Transmission refers to the movement of used. The transmission system carries large amounts of high- electricity from generators to voltage electricity at the wholesale level. The voltage is then consumers. reduced at substations to levels safe for distribution to homes and Generated power is stepped up to high voltages for transmission. businesses at the retail level. Large towers and poles carry the electricity over long distances. What Is the Transmission System? When electricity reaches its The transmission system makes it possible to efficiently transport large destination, it is stepped down to amounts of power over long distances. Without transmission, electricity lower voltages. would have to be produced close to where it is used. The lower-voltage electricity then enters the distribution system to Generators produce electricity, which is then increased to high voltage by reach homes and businesses. transformers and sent to transmission lines. The transmission system moves the electricity over long distances to local distribution systems, where it is transformed to a lower voltage, so it can be safely delivered to consumers. One way to think about this system is in terms of an interstate road trip. A driver starts the trip on local roads and then uses an on-ramp to join the faster-flowing traffic on the interstate highway. At the end of the journey, the driver uses an off-ramp to join a local road system, slowing down from highway speed to reach the destination.

Oran, Algeria 3University of Mascara, Institute of Hydraulics, Mascara, Algeria. *Corresponding Author: [email protected] Abstract A high-voltage high-frequency power supply for ozone generation is presented in this paper. Ozone generation is intended to be used in air and in water disinfection. A power stage consisting of a single-phase full bridge inverter for regulating the output power, a current push-pull inverter (driver) and a control circuit are described and analyzed. This laboratory build power supply using a high voltage ferrite transformer and a PIC microcontroller was employed to energize a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) ozone generator. The inverter working on the basis of control strategy is of simple structure and has a variation range of the working frequency in order to obtain the optimal frequency value. The experimental results concerning electrical characterization and water treatment using a cylindrical DBD ozone generator supplied by this power supply are given in the end. Keywords: Dielectric barrier discharge, ferrite transformer, high-frequency, high-voltage, inverter, ozone generation, power supply. 1.
