These NGR's are installed in the neutral of the distribution power system transformers to limit the ground fault current. The failure of these NGR's caused the distribution system to be ungrounded. The existence of a phase to ground failure in the ungrounded power system leads to phase to ground voltage build-up in the other two healthy phases which can result in insulation breakdown and electrical equipment failures. This work is aimed at the development of two schemes and the evaluation of a third commercial existing scheme to detect NGR's failures.","PeriodicalId":342687,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 2004 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation","volume":"130 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127938151","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 motors work under various operating stresses, which deteriorate their motor conditions giving rise to faults. The early detection of these deteriorating conditions in incipient phase and its removal/correction is very necessary for the prevention of any external faults/failure of induction motors reducing repair costs and motor outage time. Fault detection using analytical methods is not always possible because it requires a perfect knowledge of the motor model. The artificial neural network techniques are rather easy to develop and to perform. These networks can be applied when the information about the system is obtained from measurements, which later can be used in the training procedures of the neural networks. Neural detectors can be designed from simulation or experimental tests. In the present paper the applicability/feasibility of artificial neural network (ANN) technique for the detection and identification of incipient faults in an induction motor has been explored. Radial basis function (exact fit) approach has been used for ANN training and test. The applicability of the graphical user interface (GUI) of neural network tool box under Matlab environment has been explored in this paper. The various types of faults have been considered. Three phase instantaneous voltages and currents are utilized in proposed approach. Simulated fault current and voltage data have been used for testing of trained network.","PeriodicalId":342687,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 2004 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117037994","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}

Under six different voltage magnitudes unbalance conditions, the copper losses of three different three-phase induction motor under full load conditions has been analyzed through simulation. Following the investigations, the importance of the positive-sequence voltage and the negative-sequence voltage has been pointed out. In the present work, the relative percentage increase in the stator copper loss, rotor copper loss and total copper losses have been computed for the motor working under unbalanced and balanced voltages. For this analysis Matlab environment using Simulink toolbox has been used. In this paper the three definitions (line voltage unbalance in percent-LVUR, phase voltage unbalance in percent-PVUR and voltage unbalance factor-VUF) of voltage magnitude unbalance have been considered. The operation of the induction motor has been considered at full load. The analysis shows the effects of resulting losses during unbalanced voltage supply. The increase in losses under unbalanced voltages leads to the necessity of derating the motor.","PeriodicalId":342687,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 2004 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation","volume":"91 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121981285","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 our previous works we reported that this effect is observed not only in the divergent electric field but also in moderately nonuniform and quasiuniform electric fields. This work is devoted to the investigation of the barrier effect in solid dielectrics in a quasiuniform electric field, i.e. the study of relationship between partial discharge activity and the barrier position in the insulating gap. It is established that PD-parameters depend on the barrier position in the gap. In particular, the ignition voltage of PD with magnitude of 10 pC is increased by 20-50% at the optimal barrier position compared to that for other barrier positions.","PeriodicalId":342687,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 2004 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126772780","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}

High voltage tests on large capacitance objects like cables are carried out mainly using DC, oscillating or AC voltage at lower frequency, due to required power of supply source. That fact leads to combine simultaneously low frequency test with partial discharge (PD) measurement. However, the verification of diagnostic usefulness of this approach should be confirmed by laboratory investigations. This paper presents influence of testing voltage frequency on registered phase-resolved PD images occurring in high voltage insulation. Both method and specialized measurement system for PD patterns registration in wide frequency range of testing voltage are described. Results of measurements at frequencies from 0.1 Hz up to 50 Hz performed on different objects are presented. Changes of selected discharge parameters and their analysis based on equivalent circuit models are discussed.","PeriodicalId":342687,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 2004 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127128989","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}

Evaluations were performed on CT's installed at seven transmission substations of main Mexican Utility. The diagnostics were performed establishing three levels of partial discharges magnitude (tow, medium and high). Over 5% of CT's were detected with high PD level.

Several attempts have been made to measure it experimentally on full scale towers, and formulas to calculate this parameter have been proposed by Jordan, Wanger and Sargent, etc. However, the values of surge impedance calculated using these relationships are in poor agreement with each other and, in general, with the various measured values. This paper presents a simulation model of uneven distributing parameter for determining the surge impedance of towers by the Electromagnetic Transients Program (EMTP). This paper also demonstrates that the values so obtained describe the response of the tower adequately when a transmission line is struck by lightning, Furthermore, the simulation value of tower surge impedance is close to the actual test value and the relative error is ten percent.","PeriodicalId":342687,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 2004 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation","volume":"94 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130768606","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}
