Transformer Losses and Efficiency
Published by Alex Roderick, EE Power – Technical Articles: Transformer Losses and Efficiency, June 16, 2021 In this article we will learn about the four main types of transformer losses and calculations for finding the efficiency of a transformer. Transformers, like all devices, are not perfect. While ideal transformers do not have losses, real transformers haveContinue reading “Transformer Losses and Efficiency”
Effect of Soil Moisture on Current-Carrying Capacity of Low-Voltage Power Cables
Published by Stanislaw CZAPP1, Filip RATKOWSKI1, 2, Gdańsk University of Technology (1), Research & Development Center, Eltel Networks Energetyka SA (2) Abstract. One of the factors affecting current-carrying capacity of underground power cables is the thermal resistivity of soil. Its value in the close proximity of the cable is the most important, and for thisContinue reading “Effect of Soil Moisture on Current-Carrying Capacity of Low-Voltage Power Cables”
Voltage Measurements Using Noise Distribution
Published by Grzegorz WĘGRZYN1, Robert SZCZYGIEŁ,AGH2, University of Science and Technology. ORCID: 1. 0000-0002-4132-4939; 2. 0000-0001-6342–0107 Abstract. This paper presents a concept of noised signal voltage measurement using noise distribution. The goal of this project was to work out a new solution for low noise, hybrid pixel detectors that work in single photon counting mode.Continue reading “Voltage Measurements Using Noise Distribution”
Harmonics From Solar PV Inverters
Published by Muhammad Najmi Bohari, P.Eng, powerquality.sg THE ABCS OF POWER QUALITY IN SINGAPORE, October 14, 2023. In general, current harmonics contribution from solar PV inverters do not pose much of a power quality problem. Its ITHD is usually small and negligible as compared to a harmonics-producing load such as a variable speed drive (ITHDContinue reading “Harmonics From Solar PV Inverters”

Voltage Fluctuations in Networks with Distributed Power Sources
Published by Maciej MRÓZ1, Zbigniew HANZELKA, Krzysztof CHMIELOWIEC2, TAURON Dystrybucja S.A.(1), AGH – University of Science and Technology (2) Abstract. One of the electromagnetic disturbances generated by distributed power sources, e.g. wind turbines, are voltage fluctuations. An imprecise prediction of the disturbance level may be the reason for erroneous decisions made at the stage ofContinue reading “Voltage Fluctuations in Networks with Distributed Power Sources”
