Yet CB driving by DC solenoid magnet would be short of checking condition. Specifically, the analysis of close operation process was not found fully for the maintenance method of the CB, so the defect and degradation in driving gear were not discovered. Therefore, close operation current waveform measurement has been developed as a new maintenance method of the CB. In detail, a). The systematic diagram, which makes to find the failure position by analyzing the deformation of waveform on the site, has been developed. b). The numerical management method, which is gotten to divide the waveform, has been worked out. This paper deals with the development circumstances and results of the new maintenance method.","PeriodicalId":289535,"journal":{"name":"IEEE/PES Transmission and Distribution Conference and Exhibition","volume":"156 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123284372","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}

Synchronized phasor angles obtained by the PMU (phasor measurement unit) provide the effective information for evaluating the stability of a bulk power system. This paper proposes a midterm stability evaluation method of the wide-area power system by using the synchronized phasor measurements. Clustering and aggregating the power system to some coherent generator groups, the stability margin of each coherent group is quantitatively evaluated on the basis of the one machine and infinite bus system. The midterm stability of a longitudinal power system model of Japanese 60 Hz systems constructed by the PSA (Power System Analyzer), which is a hybrid-type power system simulator, is practically evaluated using the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":289535,"journal":{"name":"IEEE/PES Transmission and Distribution Conference and Exhibition","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123606125","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}

EMTP calculations are used in this examination for rationalization of insulation design of 22 kV cable system. From the result of parameter analysis by the typical model of 22 kV cable system, the system condition of distribution line that causes the largest transient overvoltage is determined. In the case of switching surge, there is little relationship between neutral resistance and the overvoltage, and then the maximum per unit value of abnormal voltage is approximately 2 pu. On the other side, in the case of fault surge, the overvoltage increases as the neutral resistance increases, and then the maximum per unit value of the abnormal voltage becomes 2.68 pu. According to the above results, the conventional test voltage for 22 kV distribution equipment could be reduced by approximately 20%.","PeriodicalId":289535,"journal":{"name":"IEEE/PES Transmission and Distribution Conference and Exhibition","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115337255","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 total contact area is determined by the force and hardness of the contact material; however, the number of contact spots and average area of each can vary with the nature of the contact surfaces. Through the use of transient nonlinear finite element analysis, we have solved for the temperature as a function of time in the contact spot to determine the conditions under which a spot is thermally stable. Based on this investigation, we have developed physically based scaling rules for thermal time constants and the maximum current for which the spot will be thermally stable. These scaling rules imply that the total current for stable contact operation goes as the square root of the number of contact spots, recognizing that the total contact area is fixed.","PeriodicalId":289535,"journal":{"name":"IEEE/PES Transmission and Distribution Conference and Exhibition","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116145524","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}

Correspondingly, the frequency characteristic of the mutual impedance evaluated by numerical Fourier transform from the measured voltage and current is similar to that of the self impedance. An equivalent model circuit of the grounding impedance is derived from the frequency characteristic, and an EMTP simulation using the model circuit agrees reasonably well with the measured result.","PeriodicalId":289535,"journal":{"name":"IEEE/PES Transmission and Distribution Conference and Exhibition","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116432457","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}
