In 1983, Consolidated Rail Corporation (Conrail) agreed to permit Philadelphia Electric Company (PECo) to build and operate a 230-kV transmission line on a seven-mile section of main line in suburban Philadelphia. It soon became apparent that only 600 MVA was sufficient to interrupt service and damage Conrail's signal facilities. A low-resistance path to ground for the 60-Hz interference currents was therefore provided. Since existing signal systems operating in electric propulsion territory provide this separate path, such equipment was used to resolve the induction problem in the subject nonelectrified railroad applications. Field measurements were taken with a transmission line load of 828 MVA and were used to predict the performance of the signal system at the maximum projected transmission line loading of 1418 MVA steady-state. Based on the calculated results, it was concluded that the signal system will operate satisfactorily at maximum load.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":243730,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 1991 International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130272555","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 measurement results of the radiated emissions from each component or device of the PC system are introduced and discussed using the model. The measurement was carried out in an open site in which the background noise was also measured and compared with the radiated emission of the PC. The frequency range for the measurement spread from 20 MHz up to 200 MHz. Both periodic signal and random signal are measured. It is found that the main source of the radiation is the video channel including the video cable. the drive circuit in the VDU, and the CRT. The radiated level from these devices may reach as high as 40 dB above background noise. Other components such as the PCB, the disc drive, and the CPU may also produce radiation, but not as high as the video channel. It should be noted that the metal box may have some shielding effect on the component in the box.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":243730,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 1991 International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129656106","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 system studied was a 120-V three-wire power line, equipped with phase, neutral, and ground conductors. Metal-oxide varistor surge suppressors were applied at three points on the system. These were at the service entrance, at a distribution panel, and at the load. Total line length studied was 30 m (100 ft), with the distribution panel and its suppressors being located at the central point. When unidirectional surges typical of lightning were applied at the service entrance, both experimental and theoretical studies showed similar results: removal of a suppressor at either load or distribution panel resulted in unacceptably large oscillatory voltages. Best load protection was achieved with suppressors in all three locations. Distribution of surge current between the three suppressors was shown to be good for both low and high surge currents. Coordination of protective levels was shown to be achieved, even with the very long surge waves typical of lightning.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":243730,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 1991 International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117028806","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}
