Classification of Transmission Lines: Classification of Transmission Lines are usually classified as Lines with no loss or ideal lines, Lines without distortion or distortion less lines Lines with small losses,…
Travelling Waves on Transmission Lines: Any disturbance on a Travelling Waves on Transmission Lines or system such as sudden opening or closing of line, a short circuit or a fault…
Mathematical Model of Lightning Stroke: During the charge formation process, the cloud may be considered to be a nonÂconductor. Hence, various potentials may be assumed at different parts of the…
Impulse Voltage Test System: It is extremely difficult to control and adjust the Impulse Voltage Test System wave shapes for different load conditions as in the case of large capacitive…
Low Ohmic Shunt: The most common method employed for high impulse current measurements is a Low Ohmic Shunt shown in Fig. 7.46. The equivalent circuit is shown in Fig. 7.46b.…
Uniform Field Electrode Gaps: Sphere gaps, although widely used for voltage measurements, have only limited range with Uniform Field Electrode Gaps. Hence, it is not possible to ensure that the…
Factors Influencing the Sparkover Voltage of Sphere Gaps: Various factors that affect the sparkover voltage of a sphere gap are: nearby earthed objects, atmospheric conditions and humidity, irradiation, and polarity…
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…
