These hazards are caused by lightning strikes, as well as their secondary effects, and can be defined as: direct strikes to the facility; penetrability of the facility walls to electromagnetic pulses; transient voltages on incoming and outgoing power lines, data lines and telephone lines; and the bound charge hazard. A lightning prevention system which eliminates both lightning strikes and damaging secondary effects is described. The authors discuss collector-driver systems and the stroke prevention concept.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":327874,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Technical Conference 1993","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125180964","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}

Extensive experiments are performed in which the relays are subject to a matrix of distortion frequencies, magnitudes, and phases. The results of these experiments are discussed, and suggestions on the applications of the relay are given.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":327874,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Technical Conference 1993","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124214238","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 test data indicated that the hottest spot temperature allowance used in IEEE and IEC standards is too low for ventilated dry type transformers above 500 kVA. It is impossible to design ventilated dry type transformers above 500 kVA with an average temperature rise of 150 degrees C without exceeding the permissible hottest spot temperature rise of 180 degrees C due to large thermal gradients. The average temperature rise for ventilated dry type transformers above 500 kVA with 220 degrees C insulation temperature class should be 120 degrees C. IEEE standards should require measurement of hottest spot temperature rise on prototype transformers or windings as a design test to qualify a design family and the manufacturer's mathematical models. The specification suggested should be used until IEEE standards are revised.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":327874,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Technical Conference 1993","volume":"89 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134162042","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}

Answers to these questions can have a significant impact on generation capacity planning and operating studies.

Experimentally determined parameters allow this model to track thermal performance, even when the motor is sitting still after tripping. This protection and control system, using the power of a microcomputer, can provide other modes of protection not available with the common thermal overload relay. Ground fault protection, phase unbalance and loss of phase protection, jam and loss of load protection are all included in the software. The system can eliminate most of the control wiring and relaying necessary for complex motor starter circuits.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":327874,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Technical Conference 1993","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130951413","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}

These environments were measured directly during rocket-triggered lightning (RTL) tests and were computed using linear finite-difference, time-domain (FDTD) EM solvers. The experimental and computational results were first compared in order to validate the code, and were then used to construct bounds for interior environments corresponding to severe incident lightning flashes. The code results were also used to develop simple circuit models for the EM field behavior-a process that resulted in a very simple physical interpretation of the structure's response that has significant practical and economic implications for design, construction, and maintenance of such facilities.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":327874,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Technical Conference 1993","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128061231","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}

In an interconnected distribution system with cogeneration, voltage drops under contingency conditions, i.e., on loss of a generator or tie line, can disrupt the continuous processes. The active power rating of the distribution system components can be seriously degraded.
