FAULT ANALYSIS IN PER UNIT SYSTEM PART -I
Introduction Per unit fault calculations is a method whereby system impedances and quantities are normalized across different voltage levels to a common base. By removing the impact of varying voltages, the necessary calculations are simplified.  To use the per unit method, we normalize all the system impedances (and admittances) within the network under consideration to […]
POWER FACTOR CORRECTION
Introduction In general power is the capacity to do work. In Electrical domain, Electrical Power is the amount of electrical energy that can be transferred to some other form (heat, light etc) per unit time. Mathematically it is the product of Voltage drop across the element and current flowing through it. Considering first the DC […]
OVERHEAD LINE CONDUCTOR SIZING CALCULATION PART -II
Power carrying Capacity: Approximate economic power transfer capacity trends for different line voltages based on power transfer being proportional to the square of the line voltage are given figure 1(a) and (b) for transmission voltages up to 500KV. In practice, the capacity will be limited over long distances by the conductor natural impedance (voltage regulation) […]
OVERHEAD LINE CONDUCTOR SIZING CALCULATION PART -I
Introduction Overhead lines are, in essence, air-insulated cables suspended from insulated supports with a power transfer capacity approximately proportional to the square of the line voltage. Overhead lines are cheaper in initial capital cost and are generally more economic than cable feeders. For the transmission of equivalent power at 11KV, a cable feeder would cost […]
UNDERGROUND CABLE SIZING AND VOLTAGE DROP CALCULATION PART – II
Short circuit withstand capacity The protective devices like fuses and circuit breakers protecting cable and other electrical equipment against short circuit faults operate after lapse of certain time. Any cable must be able to withstand the maximum expected and calculated short circuit current in its circuit for fault clearing time without exceeding the maximum permissible […]
