Arc Flash and Overvoltage Protection
Published by Alex Roderick, EE Power – Technical Articles: Arc Flash and Overvoltage Protection, August 26, 2021. In addition to the risk of electrical shock, other hazards are present when work is performed on or near energized electrical equipment or conductors. Two serious hazards are electrical arc flashes and electrical arc blasts. An arc flash isContinue reading “Arc Flash and Overvoltage Protection”
Ground Fault Protection Methods of a Generator Stator
Published by Ahmad Rizal SULTAN, Mohd Wazir bin MUSTAFA, Technology University of Malaysia, Faculty of Electrical Engineering Abstract. The type of generator grounding method and the system configuration determine the choice of ground fault protection. Ground fault generator stator can cause serious damage to the generator. Therefore, the total area of the generator stator windingsContinue reading “Ground Fault Protection Methods of a Generator Stator”
Failure Duration in Distribution Networks
Published by Martin SLIVKA, Radomír GOŇO, Stanislav RUSEK, VŠB-Technical University of Ostrava Abstract. The paper deals with statistical analysis of data on faults and failures in electrical power distribution. We used the statistical analysis of both MV overhead and cable lines, and electrical power stations of one distribution company. The data were collected from 2000Continue reading “Failure Duration in Distribution Networks”
The Coreless Superconducting Fault Current Limiter 15 kV 140 A
Published by Michał MAJKA, Janusz KOZAK, Electrotechnical Institute Abstract. The superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) is a device allowing for a more effective use of the existing power network infrastructure. The limitation of short-circuit currents by the SFCL to safe levels will result in the network elements being susceptible to smaller electrodynamic and thermal overloads.Continue reading “The Coreless Superconducting Fault Current Limiter 15 kV 140 A”
