SURGE RECORDINGS THAT MAKE SENSE: Shifting focus from voltage to current measurements
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper proposes to establish a program for characterizing surge events according to the capability of a surge event to deliver a surge current through the power system in end-user facilities. This characterization would replace the conventional and by now misleading monitoring of surge voltages. The new approach will use a current transducer including a silicon-avalanche diode with the lowest possible voltage to "attract" surges away from other surge-protective devices connected within the facility. The voltage signal from the current transducer will then be recorded using any power quality monitoring instrument available to the individual researchers, providing complete current waveform parameters.

Analysis of Grading Ring Design Parameters and Heat Sink Numbers Effect on Voltage Distribution and Leakage Current in Metal Oxide Surge Arrester
Metal oxide surge arresters (ZNO) are used widely in power system to protect equipments from over voltages. Non uniform potential distribution leads to the depressed service life and low safe reliability, so grading ring is applied on HV surge arrester order to uniform the electric field distribution. One of the problems of arresters is leakage current in power frequency that different paramet...

Based on the proliferation of surge-protective devices in low-voltage end-user installations, the paper draws attention to the need for changing focus from surge voltage measurements to surge current measurements. One proposed approach was to develop a simple transducer measuring the surge current that would be drawn in an SPD with low clamping voltage connected to the circuit to be monitored. ...

Delving into the close relationship between sense and emotion mingled with language can be of utmost importance in studies related to management of emotions. In this regard, the current study qualitatively attempted to examine to what extent sense-induced emotions can be recognized, labelled, and managed by individuals. To this end, 36 Iranian males and females were asked to participate in inte...
