A Novel Crowbar Impulse Current Circuit for Testing the Switch-Type SPD

A crowbar impulse current circuit for testing the switch-type surge protective device （SPD） is presented. The crowbar circuit consists of a computer control circuit, a trigger voltage pulse generator, a main discharging switch, and a crowbar pseudospark switch. The active trigger technology was studied in the crowbar impulse current circuit. The circuit monitors the main discharging current and generates a trigger signal at a proper time for the crowbar pseudospark switch operation. The trigger characteristics of the main discharge switch and the crowbar pseu- dospark switch were investigated. By monitoring the preset applied capacitor voltage, the gap distance of the main discharging switch could be adjusted to ensure a discharging delay time less than 2 μs. Equipped with a surface ttashover trigger device made of high relative perimittivity dielectric material BaTiO3 （εr = 3460）, the discharge delay time of the crowbar pseudospark switch is less than 85 ns, and the minimum operating voltage is less than 1% of its self-breakdown voltage. With a storage capacitor of 9 μF , an inductor of 18 μH and a crowbar pseudospark switch, a load of 30 mΩ and an applied capacitor voltage of 40 kV, an impulse current waveform of maximum 25 kA was generated with a rise time and time to half peak value of 17.2 μs and 336μs respectively.

Experimental Analysis on Shielding Effect of the Grounding Electrodes Under Impulse-current

Generally,the flow of a lightning impulse current from a grounding electrode into ground is a very complicated process determined by many factors.In order to analyze the mechanism of the impulse current dissipating in the earth from grounding electrode,the experiments that had been carried out by other authors almost used a single horizontal grounding wire or vertical grounding rod for sake of simplicity.However,in practical conditions,most of the grounding systems are constructed of grounding electrodes with branches in different directions.In this study,basing on the principle of dimensional similarity,impulse simulation experiments are performed on the common ground electrodes with conductor branches.This paper focuses on analyzing the impulse current dispersal regularity of different branches when injecting at one point.Comparing with the leakage current distribution of a single ground electrode,it is found that the leakage currents along the branches increase with the distance to the current feed point,and the more conductors near the injection point,the more uneven the leakage current distribution is.This work indicates that shielding effect should be taken into account when analyzing the impulse characteristics of grounding electrodes.

Parametric effect of large impulse current excited coil on electromagnetic force in coil-sheet system

Based on the method of controlling welding stress with trailing, the electromagnetic force in coil-sheet system was simulated with finite element software ANSYS. The effect of parameters of coil on the electromagnetic force density fy was analyzed. The results show that the maximum electromagnetic force density fy, max in sheet appears in the position near the inner radius of single-turn coil. The position is independent of section shape of coil. fy, max for flat coil is larger than that for long coil and the coil with wedge shape section, while section areas of all coils are equal to each other. The effect of turn number of multiple-turn coil on fy is dependent on the loop resistance in circuit. The kind of coil with more turns and larger inductance is commended while there is larger loop resistance in circuit. fy increases in a certain magnitude while a magnetic core is located in coil. However, the magnitude of fy is limited by saturating magnetic flux of the core.

Experimental investigation on ablation characteristics of coated and uncoated steel under 30/80 μs impulse current

The ablation tests on coated and uncoated Q235 B steel sheets were conducted under 30/80 μs impulse current simulating the lightning first return stroke current, aimed at further understanding the ablation characteristics of steel and investigating the impact of anti-corrosion coating on these characteristics. Ablation characteristics were investigated through the macroscopic morphology and x-ray diffraction patterns on the surface of damaged zones, the microstructure and micro Vickers hardness on the cross-section of damaged zones, and the maximum rear-face temperature of sample sheets. It can be concluded that the ablation areas of uncoated sheet consist of the melted layer and the heat-affect layer. These ablation areas include not only the area ablated directly by the arc root, of which the depth is deeper, but also the area forming due to the splashing of molten steel, of which the depth is shallower and decreases when the area’s distance from the arc attachment point increases. For coated sheet, coating materials have decomposed and evaporated forming an ablation pit on the sheet surface, in which the steel surface is exposed, and zinc filler of coating primer has infused into the exposed surface. The ablation diameter of uncoated sheet relates to the amplitude of the 30/80 μs impulse current in quadratic function, while for coated sheet, the relation is linear. In general, under the 30/80 μs impulse current, the coating can decrease the energy injected from the arc to the steel sheet and reduce the melting and splashing of steel. As a result, the ablation severity of uncoated sheet is severer than that of coated sheet.

Origin of Initial Current Peak in High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering and Verification by Non-Sputtering Discharge

A non-sputtering discharge is utilized to verify the effect of replacement of gas ions by metallic ions and consequent decrease in the secondary electron emission coefficient in the discharge current curves in high-power impulse magnetron sputtering （HiPIMS）. In the non-sputtering discharge involving hydrogen, replacement of ions is avoided while the rarefaction still contributes. The initial peak and ensuing decay disappear and all the discharge current curves show a similar feature as the HiPIMS discharge of materials with low sputtering yields such as carbon. The results demonstrate the key effect of ion replacement during sputtering.

More and more applications of ZnO arrester in electrical system experienced more problems.One thing,that is still under some investigation,is the effect of multiple lightning strike to the performance of ZnO arrester.As we know,the design of ZnO arrester for transmission system and for distribution system differs in the point of view of the number of ZnO blocks.Transmission system,due to its higher nominal voltage than distribution system,has more numbers of ZnO blocks inside an arrester tube.In term of the current rating of an arrester,it is found that there is some different value of the current rating.The current rating of an arrester installed closer to electrical substation is higher than that of some further away from the substation.To the respond of a lightning impulse strike,the arrester will let a high value of impulse current flowing.It tends to heat the ZnO material of the arrester.If the number of impulse strike is quite high then it may give the effect to the change of the arrester performance.This condition will endanger the equipment that is protected by the arrester from lightning strikes.During this research,the scope of work is limited to making an impulse current generator toward to one having 8/20 μs wave-shape.This kind of impulse current wave-shape is the one that is used for studying the performance of ZnO block.The effect of the inductance and capacitance of the impulse current generator were also studied.A 10 fused cut out was blown by an impulse having 10321 A of 17.8/37.8 μs.A ZnO arrester block brokendown/allowed large value of current :10982 A flowing under the voltage of 10.5

Properties and structure of RE-Ni-W-P-SiC composite coating prepared by impulse electrodeposition

The properties and structure of electrodeposited RE (CeO2)-Ni-W-P-SiC composite coating were investigated. The results show that the hardness and electrodepositing speed of composite coatings obtained at an impulse current are higher than those at a direct current. The hardness and wear resistance of the coating are obviously increased by adding RE and SiC. The hardness of the coating increases with the increase of treatment temperature and current density, and reaches the optimum value at 400 ℃ and at 10 A/dm2, respectively. The optimum operation parameters of electrodeposition of the composite coating are as follows: pH value is 4.5, bath temperature is 65 ℃ , and current density is 10 A/dm2.

A Novel Starting Impulse Suppression Method for Active Power Filter Based on Slowly Rising Curve

With the widespread application of power electronic equipment in the power grid,the harmonic problem of the power grid becomes more pronounced,reducing the efficiency of power production,transmission,and utilization,and interfering with the normal operation of the power grid.Based on the requirements of harmonic suppression and power system protection,a shunt active power filter(SAPF)is proposed as an effective harmonic suppression method.However,there are problems with impulse current and impulse voltage in the starting process of SAPF.Impulse current and impulse voltage cause the power grid and switchgear to bear greater current stress and voltage stress,which seriously affect the security and reliability of the power grid and may damage the switchgear.To effectively solve the problem of impulse current and impulse voltage,the starting process of SAPF is divided into the uncontrolled rectification stage and the transition stage.The mathematical model of the DC side of APF is established.The causes of impulse current and impulse voltage in the uncontrolled rectifier and transition phases are analyzed.By introducing voltage square,a new starting impulse suppression strategy of active power filter based on the slow rising curve is proposed,fundamentally solving the problems of impulse current and impulse voltage.Simulation results verify the effectiveness and feasibility of this method.

土壤电阻率的负温特性及冻土对接地极冲击响应的影响

西藏地区由于独特的气候与地理环境,在其冻土地区存在雷电与低温共存现象。低温下冻土作为含冰复杂体系,其在雷击下的冲击散流性能仍不明晰,因此该文就冻土电阻率的负温特性以及接地极的冲击特性开展研究。首先研究了不同含水量、含盐量的土壤电阻率随温度的变化规律;然后在冲击电流作用下,以永冻土试品的表层土壤融化厚度和季节性冻土试品的表层土壤冻结厚度为变量,探究了其对相应冻土中垂直接地极暂态电位的影响规律;最后结合冻结条件下土壤冲击放电的形貌特征与地中电场强度和电流密度的分布特性,探讨了负温下接地极暂态电位变化的本质原因。试验研究表明:考虑盐分对土壤的影响,当其温度在一次冻结温度Tf与二次冻结温度Ts之间时,电阻率随温度下降缓慢上升,只有当温度降至二次冻结温度时,才存在突增现象;在永冻土中,当冻土温度高于Ts时,接地极仍具有较好的散流性能。由此可知降低Ts可以减小水分冻结对土壤电阻率的影响,为避免极寒地区接地极失效提供了新思路。

触发闪电环境下地网冲击接地电阻特征分析

基于触发闪电技术,研究了2019年夏季8次触发闪电44次回击、5次初始连续电流脉冲(ICCP)和24次M分量对冲击接地电阻的影响,探索了冲击接地电阻随雷电流注入的动态变化规律。结果发现:闪电放电ICCP、M分量和回击过程冲击接地电阻均小于工频接地电阻,ICCP和叠加在回击回落之后连续电流上的M分量冲击接地电阻略大于回击过程,平均值分别为11.2Ω和10.8Ω。叠加在回击下降沿上的M分量冲击接地电阻平均值7.8Ω,明显小于回击过程,最小值可达2.4Ω。ICCP和M分量冲击接地电阻随电流增加而减小,回击过程与电流峰值没有明显的相关性。叠加在回击下降沿上的M分量冲击接地电阻随雷电流峰值、背景电流值的增加呈指数衰减关系,还与之前回击电流峰值成一定的反比例关系。随着闪电回击电流的注入,冲击接地电阻呈现动态变化过程,小电流在回击峰值下降后出现一个缓慢增长的过程,大电流在回击峰值下降后出现一个快速下降的过程。闪电不同物理过程火花和电感效应的作用是不同的,两者共同作用决定了土壤的电离程度,从而决定了冲击接地电阻的大小和变化。

瞬时电流预测的逆变器启动冲击负载的方法

针对通用逆变器启动冲击负载能力很弱的问题,此处提出一种利用瞬时负载电流预测来控制输出调制比的方法来增强逆变器启动冲击负载的能力。冲击性负载,通常是感性负载投入时会产生5~10倍的冲击电流,而通用逆变器抗冲击电流能力较弱,通常只能启动20%的额定负载。这里根据检测到的负载瞬时电流来瞬时减小逆变器的输出调制比,将负载电流控制在额定电流范围内,感性负载投入后会逐渐稳定,输出调制比也逐渐恢复到正常值,完成感性负载的启动。此方法已在油田储能电源上得到广泛应用,可将逆变器启动感性负载的能力从20%额定提高到70%额定。
