The method assumes the following routine conditions: the motor operates at rated voltage and frequency; the stray load loss and the rotor core loss are negligible; the no load speed of the motor is known along with the five Steinmetz Model element values; and that the only model element that varies under normal operating conditions is the reflected rotor resistance, r2/s. The method makes use of a Unit Circle that has been developed from the forward impedance of the traditional six-element-per-phase model illustrated in IEEE Standard 112. This paper elaborates upon a specific facet of the general analyses that have been addressed in previous papers written by the writer; this facet should be of particular interest to motor manufacturing personnel who must provide technical support for their customers.","PeriodicalId":152045,"journal":{"name":"2007 Electrical Insulation Conference and Electrical Manufacturing Expo","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134539567","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}

The results of research and optimization in the paper have proved and verified that the VLF voltage test method of 30U0 test voltage and 40 min test time is a better choice for checking and verifying the safe operational life of power cable lines, and 2.S U0/25 min or 3U0/25 min is suggested for verifying the safe operational life of aged cable line that has been in service more than 7 years.

Current evidence indicates that China will continue to be an engine of growth for Southeast Asian economies, drawing in large volumes of imports across a range of inputs. In the near term the United States will remain a major destination for Chinese exports of finished products, although imports of high-tech goods from the U.S. are increasing, with foreign invested enterprises (FIEs) in the manufacturing sector the main producers. While China's comparative advantage in low labor costs will persist, other factors will increase in importance, making the business environment more competitive. Specifically, structural changes in the economy, gradual movement up the production value chain, and government policy to increase human capital, develop the interior of the - country, and decrease corruption, will increase growth in the domestic economy. Finally, the financial sector shows increasing flexibility, which lowers exposure to external shocks as fiscal and monetary policy become more effective and the country moves closer to a market economy.","PeriodicalId":152045,"journal":{"name":"2007 Electrical Insulation Conference and Electrical Manufacturing Expo","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115286173","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}

The assessments were extremely useful in avoiding potential incidents and costly equipment shutdowns. This survey highlighted some of critical NEC deficiencies which were corrected immediately. Approximately 85 % of these panels and transformers displayed minor to major NEC deficiencies, and 12 % of these panels and transformers showed unusual temperature abnormalities. At present, we are using our maintenance resources to rectify the remaining deficiencies. Initially, we employed a licensed electrical inspector who conducted a series of site inspections and classroom training. The training included a basic overview of new NEC codes changes, and how to enhance skill sets of our technicians that were assigned to rectify the deficiencies. We were concerned regarding the overall conditions and safety of our 33 year old 480-277/208-120V power, lighting, receptacle panels, and distributions transformers. In 1999-2000, our preliminary survey found that - 480/277V -208/120V power, lighting and receptacle panels and distributions transformers needed thorough inspection and meticulous clean-up. We investigated upcoming IR technology and found out that the infrared camera could be a very useful tool in diagnosing any temperature abnormalities as result of loose terminations, overloading or questionable design and /or installation of any electrical apparatus.","PeriodicalId":152045,"journal":{"name":"2007 Electrical Insulation Conference and Electrical Manufacturing Expo","volume":"4 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131438206","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}
