But as using such a circuit necessitates storage batteries of very high voltage, it is in particular not suitable as a type of circuit for small-capacity UPSs of the 1 to 3 kVA class. We therefore conceived two techniques in order to lower necessary storage battery voltage: one that uses a bidirectional chopper, and one that uses an auxiliary, inverter. We incorporated these techniques into a 3 kVA UPS and a 1 kVA UPS respectively, allowing us to develop small, high-performance UPSs.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":123164,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Intelec 94","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115530611","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conventional techniques are not suitable to achieve resistivity measurements especially for a thin layer of soil. In view of this, a new two-point technique has been proposed which allows semi-continuous measurement of the resistivity of a specific volume of soil. Results have been shown to demonstrate the effect of climatic conditions over the resistivity of a thin surface layer.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":123164,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Intelec 94","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115078172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because power receiving systems are ordinarily quite large and complicated, consisting of numerous subsystems, regular maintenance work usually takes a long time. NTT has thus developed an advanced, highly reliable power receiving system which effectively employs microprocessors to reduce maintenance work. This system mainly consists of the following equipment: (1) power receiving panel (PRP); (2) high voltage transfer branch panel (TBP); (3) transformer panel (TRP); (4) low voltage branch panel (LBP); and (5) power system supervision and control equipment (PS SVC). The PRP, TBP, TRP and LBP have achieved downsizing and easier maintainability using microprocessors and a PS SVC was designed to be less than unavailability target value using microprocessors.
