High Voltage Test on Circuit Breaker and Isolators: High Voltage Test on Circuit Breaker and Isolators is covered, giving common characteristics for both. While these characteristics are directly relevant to…
High Voltage Test Bushings: High Voltage Test Bushings Consisting of Three tests, namely Power Frequency Tests Impulse Voltage Tests Thermal Tests Power Frequency Tests: Power Factor—Voltage Test: In this test,…
Partial Discharge Measurements: Earlier the testing of insulators and other equipment was based on the insulation resistance measurements, dissipation factor measurements and breakdown tests. It was observed that the dissipation…
Dielectric Constant and Loss: Many insulating substances have dielectric constant greater than unity and have Dielectric Constant and Loss when subjected to a.c. voltages. These two quantities, namely, the dielectric…
Insulation Coordination of Substation: For steep fronted lightning waves at Insulation Coordination of Substation and at different points on lines, the voltages at sub-stations may exceed the protective level depending…
Selection of Surge Arresters: These are non-linear resistors in series with spark gaps which act as fast switches. A Selection of Surge Arresters or lightning arrester is shown in Fig.…
Insulation Coordination in High Voltage: Insulation Coordination in High Voltage - Electric power supply should ensure reliability and continuity to the utility concerns. Hence, the power lines and sub-stations are…
Control of Switching Overvoltage: The Control of Switching Overvoltage and power frequency may be controlled by energization of transmission lines in one or more steps by inserting resistances and withdrawing…
