Study on a New Method for Overvoltage Measurement using CVT
Published by Si WENRONG, Jin HENG, Huang HUA, Fu CHENZHAO, East China Electric Power Test & Research Institute Company Limited, Shanghai, China Abstract. This paper introduces a new method for overvoltage measurements in 500kV power system using capacitor voltage transformer (CVT). It is realized with a voltage sensor installed within CVT as the low-voltage capacitorContinue reading “Study on a New Method for Overvoltage Measurement using CVT”
The Trouble With Capacitors Part 2
Published by R. Fehr, P.E., Engineering Consultant, Jan 1, 2004 Here’s how to reduce the effect of capacitor switching on your power system Last month’s article discussed exactly what happens when electric utilities switch shunt capacitors: power system components are exposed to transient voltages and currents produced by energizing and de-energizing these devices. Those transientsContinue reading “The Trouble With Capacitors Part 2”
The Trouble With Capacitors Part 1
Published by R. Fehr, P.E., Engineering Consultant, Dec 1, 2003 Although shunt capacitors offer several advantages at all voltage levels, those advantages come at a price. Not only must you purchase, install, and maintain capacitor equipment, you must be able to switch it in and out of service to get the most from the system.Continue reading “The Trouble With Capacitors Part 1”
