Published by Nikola Zlatanov* Voltage Classifications ANSI and IEEE® standards define various voltage classifications for single-phase and three-phase systems. The terminology used divides voltage classes into: Low voltage Medium voltage High voltage Extra-high voltage Ultra-high voltage Table 1.1-1 presents the nominal system ese classifications. Voltages and Voltage Ranges (From IEEE Standard 141-1993) BIL—Basic Impulse LevelsContinue reading “Part 2: AC Power Distribution Systems & Standards”

Voltage Tolerance Boundary
Published by Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), January 1999. The only national standard for utilization voltage regulation is ANSI C84.1. Its title is American National Standard for Electric Power Systems and Equipment – Voltage Ratings (60 Hertz). The first version in 1954 was a combination of two standards, one from the Edison Electric InstituteContinue reading “Voltage Tolerance Boundary”
Voltage Transients Causing Diode Failures
Published by Dranetz – BMI Case Studies A plastic extrusion manufacturer in the mid-West had a 480V delta feeding a plastic extrusion machine. The ASD-driven synchronous motor in the extruder had a half-wave bridge rectifier circuit to provide excitation voltage to the pole coils. Diodes on the half-wave bridge exciter circuit were blowing out, andContinue reading “Voltage Transients Causing Diode Failures”
