Billing Measurements in the High and Extra-High Voltage Network taking into Account the New Frequency Classes According to IEC 61869-1 ED2 (AFDIS)
Published by Roland Buerger (Senseleq B.V.), Dr. Thomas Heid (CONDIS SA) Internationally, it is not easy to specify the range of high voltage exactly. The boundary between medium and high voltage is between 30 kV and 100 kV, depending on local and historical conditions. In the current version of EN 50160 from 2020, the voltageContinue reading “Billing Measurements in the High and Extra-High Voltage Network taking into Account the New Frequency Classes According to IEC 61869-1 ED2 (AFDIS)”
Reactors in a Power System
Published by Alex Roderick, EE Power – Technical Articles Reactors in a Power System, May 03, 2021. This article highlights two common types of reactors which are the dry-type and the oil-immersed. In an AC circuit, reactance is the opposition to current flow. A reactor, also known as a line reactor, is a coil wired in series betweenContinue reading “Reactors in a Power System”
