This paper presents a concept for sharing the responsibility for harmonics. The sharing is based solely on measurements during the operation and at the point of connection. The concept is also applicable to other types of steady-state power quality deterioration, namely repetitive RMS fluctuations, waveform distortion and three-phase unbalance.","PeriodicalId":436140,"journal":{"name":"1998 IEEE Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Technical Conference.

Concerns have been raised over the suitability of this concept for reliable transfer of running motors and other inrush loads. A position is taken that these loads must be shut down for transfer between live sources to avoid power system disturbances and equipment damage. Such actions are counterproductive and disruptive to industrial facility operations. This paper presents the results of an investigation into the characteristics of inrush electrical loads in a load transfer strategy. It verifies the validity of the traditional transfer concept.","PeriodicalId":436140,"journal":{"name":"1998 IEEE Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Technical Conference. Conference Record.

{"title":"A damage mechanism: lightning-initiated fault-current area to communication cables buried beneath overhead electric power lines","authors":"M. Kinsler","doi":"10.1109/ICPS.1998.692553","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ICPS.1998.692553","url":null,"abstract":"A lightning strike to an overhead structure will cause a brief arc through the soil from its lightning ground to any nearby grounded metal utility line such as a gas pipe, sewer line, or communications cable. A limited amount of damage to the buried line may result from such a stroke. However, if the overhead structure happens to be an energized conductor of an electric power line, the situation becomes dangerous: the lightning impulse will establish a conductive path across the power line insulator, down the pole and through the soil to the buried utility line. In a significant number of cases, this conductive path will allow the establishment of a large, long-duration power fault current from the lightning struck power conductor to the buried utility line. This power arc will terminate on the grounded pipe or cable shield, causing rupture and failure. The existence of this damage mechanism was confirmed in the laboratory with a full scale mock-up of a utility right-of-way. The phenomenon of lightning-triggered arc establishment through soil was then examined more closely with a high resolution apparatus in which most parameters could be tightly controlled. Artificial lightning impulses from 0.3 MV to 2.8 MV and 60 Hz power line voltages from 6.24 kV to 15.71 kV were used. Soil condition, electrode spacing, power line voltage, lightning impulse voltage and geometry were found to govern the probability of a lightning-initiated fault current arc through the soil in a predictable manner. For soil of 500000 /spl Omega/-cm resistivity, the distance between a simulated power system lightning ground and a buried cable at which a fault current arc is not initiated was found to be about 40 cm. This safe distance was proportional to the geometric mean of the power line voltage and the peak lightning impulse voltage.","PeriodicalId":436140,"journal":{"name":"1998 IEEE Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Technical Conference.

Monopoly power will fall away and consumers will be free to choose new electricity suppliers. The potential market value for this emerging sector of power industry is unknown; however, leading trade magazines and other industry analysts expect the market value of power transactions to reach $200 billion. Net cost savings for the end-use customers may range anywhere between $5 billion to $20 billion. However, this saving would be for those customers who will exercise their choice. This paper presents a case study which suggests ways that large industrial customers can better manage their electricity purchase price in a competitive power industry. It also emphasis the requirement of comprehensive consideration of electricity costs and rate tariff, understanding of necessary tools to predict future price transmission and generation data, and through regulatory changes, projections, understanding of plant process.","PeriodicalId":436140,"journal":{"name":"1998 IEEE Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Technical Conference.

It is shown that using only Table 250-95 or the NEC can result in inadequate sizing of the EGC. An example is presented which illustrates how an EGC can be damaged, or completely destroyed, before an upstream overcurrent device can operate to clear a fault. It is demonstrated that the use of thermal damage curves for EGCs can provide a simple, but effective, way to evaluate the adequacy of a ground fault circuit design.","PeriodicalId":436140,"journal":{"name":"1998 IEEE Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Technical Conference.

The method of fault positions is most suitable for implementation in a software tool. It has been used to get exposed areas and sag frequencies for each bus. The results are resented in different ways, including a so-called voltage sag map showing the variation of the sag frequency through the network. The method of critical distances is more suitable for hand calculations, as both the amount of data and the complexity of the calculations are very limited. It has been used to obtain sag frequencies for a number of buses. A comparison with the results obtained by using the method of fault positions, shows that the method of critical distances is an acceptable alternative were software or system data are not available for a more accurate analysis.","PeriodicalId":436140,"journal":{"name":"1998 IEEE Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Technical Conference.
