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”

Negative Sequence Current as a Breaker Failure Protection for Medium Voltage Grids
Published by 1. Tomáš ŠKUMÁT1, 2. Žaneta ELESCHOVÁ2,Západoslovenská distribučná, a. s. (1). Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava (2)ORCID. 2. 0000-0002-7596-108X Abstract. This paper focuses on situations in Medium Voltage (MV) grids where a feeder´s breaker failure occurred. This type of fault is quite severe but well handled in higher voltage systems (high voltage, extraContinue reading “Negative Sequence Current as a Breaker Failure Protection for Medium Voltage Grids”
What are Overcurrent Protection Devices?
Published by Alex Roderick, EE Power – Technical Articles: What are Overcurrent Protection Devices?, February 10, 2021. Learn about the basics of overcurrent, how it occurs, and ways to protect against and prevent it in power circuits. To have a properly operating circuit, current flow should be confined to a safe level. This safe level ofContinue reading “What are Overcurrent Protection Devices?”

Circuit Overcurrent Protection
Published by Clive Kimblin, International Association of Electrical Inspectors (IAEI) Magazine, Electrical Safety – Circuit Overcurrent Protection, March 16, 2002 Overcurrent devices protect the circuit conductors and conductor insulation from overheating. They also limit the damage associated with overheating and faults in downstream equipment. Fuses performed this function during the first days of electrical distribution,Continue reading “Circuit Overcurrent Protection”
