Designers now have the choice of using IEC equipment, traditional North American equipment or a combination of the two. This also means designers inherit the task of determining which system or combination of systems, is the most cost effective for an installation. For the purposes of clarity, this paper refers only to Class 1 locations. The term IEC system is commonly used when referring to the European Union's CENELEC requirements, although the group acknowledges there are differences between the two.","PeriodicalId":165659,"journal":{"name":"Industry Applications Society 46th Annual Petroleum and Chemical Technical Conference (Cat.No. 99CH37000)","volume":"90 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133256415","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}

Galloway","doi":"10.1109/PCICON.1999.806434","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/PCICON.1999.806434","url":null,"abstract":"The phenomenon of harmonic instability in phase-controlled power converters has been known for a long time. The subject was discussed by Ainsworth in the context of high voltage DC converters back in the 1950s. Harmonic instability is the abnormal operation of a power converter system due to the harmonic voltage distortion of the power source caused by the harmonic currents of the converter system itself. This effect is often found in power converters such as rectifiers but is often not recognized for what it is. The consequences can range from mild overheating and increased acoustic noise, severe instability and system shutdown, to transformer failure. Phase-controlled rectifiers are the most common type in industrial use today. They include thyristor process rectifiers, large motor drives and saturable core reactor controlled rectifiers. This paper discusses the elements of the feedback loop that causes harmonic instability, and lists symptoms by which it can be recognized. A more detailed look is taken at the zero crossing type of triggering control, as this is the most common type in use today, in both analog and digital implementations. Steps to avoid or to fix the system problems are discussed.","PeriodicalId":165659,"journal":{"name":"Industry Applications Society 46th Annual Petroleum and Chemical Technical Conference (Cat.No. 99CH37000)","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134165184","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}

However, this assumption is overly optimistic, considering that few, if any colleges teach motor theory today and that application experience at motor user locations has been reduced in recent years. This paper is the first of a series of papers. The authors present motor theory and application information with an extensive reference list that will help engineers understand such questions as: What causes a motor to make noise?; Why is a medium voltage motor different than a low voltage motor?; and How should a motor be grounded? This paper will serve as a valuable reference for those who apply and specify motors.","PeriodicalId":165659,"journal":{"name":"Industry Applications Society 46th Annual Petroleum and Chemical Technical Conference (Cat.No. 99CH37000)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124094067","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}
