Novel Fault Current Limiter for Voltage Sag Compensation of Point of Common Coupling
Published by SARAGADAM HEMANTH KUMAR, SH SURESH KUMAR BUDI, Dept. of EEE, Gokul Group of Institutions, Piridi, Bobbili, AP, India. Abstract: Voltage sag is one of the most common power quality disturbances in electrical networks. Voltage sags are incidents that reduce the voltage amplitude for a short time. Voltage Sags are caused by abrupt increasesContinue reading “Novel Fault Current Limiter for Voltage Sag Compensation of Point of Common Coupling”
Effect of the Let-Through Energy of Overcurrent Protective Devices on the Temperature of Conductors during Short-Circuits
Published by 1. Stanislaw CZAPP, 2. Daniel KOWALAK, Gdańsk University of TechnologyORCID: 1. 0000-0002-1341-8276; 2. 0000-0001-9610-9884 Abstract. The scope of the verification of low-voltage systems covers the earth fault loop impedance measurement. This measurement is usually performed with the use of low-value current meters, which force a current many times lower than the one occurringContinue reading “Effect of the Let-Through Energy of Overcurrent Protective Devices on the Temperature of Conductors during Short-Circuits”
