Cascade Transformer Connection

Cascade Transformer Connection: Figure 6.10 shows the Cascade Transformer Connection units in which the first transformer is at the ground potential along with its tank. The second transformer is kept on insulators and maintained at a potential of V2, the output voltage of the first unit above the ground. The high voltage winding of the […]

Tripping of Impulse Generators

Tripping of Impulse Generator: In large impulse generator, the spark gaps are generally sphere gaps or gaps formed by hemispherical electrodes. The gaps are arranged such that sparking of one gap results in automatic sparking of other gaps as overvoltage is impressed on the other. In order to have consistency in sparking, irradiation from an

Generation of Impulse Current Generator Output Waveform

Generation of Impulse Current Generator Output Waveform: Lightning discharges involve both high voltage impulses and high current impulses on transmission lines. Protective gear like surge diverters have to discharge the lightning currents without damage. Therefore, Generation of Impulse Current Generator Output Waveform of high magnitude ( ≈ 100 kA peak) find application in test work

Generation of Switching Surges

Generation of Switching Surges: Nowadays in extra high voltage transmission lines and power systems, switching surges is an important factor that affects the design of insulation. All transmission lines rated for 220 kV and above incorporate switching surge spark overvoltage for their insulation levels. A switching surges is a short duration transient voltage produced in

Standard Impulse Wave Shapes

Standard Impulse Wave Shapes: Transient overvoltages due to lighting and switching surges cause steep build-up of voltage on transmission lines and other electrical apparatus. Experimental investigations showed that these waves have a rise time of 0.5 to 10 μs and decay time to 50% of the peak value of the order of 30 to 200

Resonant Transformers

Resonant Transformers: The equivalent circuit of a high voltage testing Resonant Transformers consists of the leakage reactance of the windings, the winding resistances, the magnetizing reactance, and the shunt capacitance across the output terminal due to the bushing of the high voltage terminal and also that of the test object. This is shown in Fig.
