Autotransformers for Power Systems
Published by Waldemar ZIOMEK, PTI Manitoba Inc., Winnipeg, MB, Canada Abstract. When the primary and secondary voltages are obtained from the same winding, or from two windings which are galvanically connected, such a transformer is called an autotransformer. The paper will focus on fundamentals, design and applications of autotransformers of core-type design. The selected problemsContinue reading “Autotransformers for Power Systems”
Electromagnetic Disturbances Propagation Along a Grounding Grid Subjected to Lightning Currents
Published by Rafael ALIPIO, Renan SEGANTINI, Federal Centre of Technological Education of Minas Gerais Abstract. This paper assesses the transient distribution of potentials along a grounding grid subjected to currents representative of first and subsequent strokes. It is shown that the transient non-uniform distribution of potential along the grounding system may lead to the flowContinue reading “Electromagnetic Disturbances Propagation Along a Grounding Grid Subjected to Lightning Currents”
Harmonics in Electrical Power Systems and how to remove them by using filters in ETAP
Published by Zia Hameed1, Muhammad Rafay Khan Sial2, Adnan Yousaf3, Muhammad Usman Hashmi,Faculty of Engineering and Technology, Superior University, 17-km off Raiwind Road Lahore PakistanEmails: zia.hameed@superior.edu.pk, rafay.khan@superior.edu.pk, adnan.yousaf@superior.edu.pk Abstract—Power System Harmonics is a real point of concern for Electrical Engineers. In power systems, non-linear loads are permanently connected, unlike transients and other distortions are produced.Continue reading “Harmonics in Electrical Power Systems and how to remove them by using filters in ETAP”
