چکیده
This paper was presented as a summary tutorial aimed at the French-speaking Canadian community to solicit their comments on the development of the IEEE Std 587 Guide. The paper has been translated into English by the author to make the English-speaking community aware of that paper, which served at that time as one output for the release of the extensive test results that were reported in the 35-page GE Memo Report – still proprietary at that time – “Lightning protection in residential AC wiring” (see Part 4 of the anthology).

The Requirements for Efficient Overvoltage Protection of Electronic Devices in Low-voltage Power Systems
Original scientific paper The increasing sensitivity of electronic devices widely used in low-voltage AC systems requires an appropriate protection against voltage and current surges. Protection of the equipment against the prospective surges is based on application of surge protection devices (SPDs). Most common situation, especially in residential buildings, is application of only one SPD at ...
متن کاملImpact of Active Power Curtailment on Overvoltage Prevention and Energy Production of PV Inverters Connected to Low Voltage Residential Feeders
As non-controllable power sources, photovoltaics (PV) can create overvoltage in low voltage (LV) distribution feeders during periods of high generation and low load. This is usually prevented passively by limiting the penetration level of PV to very conservative values, even if the critical periods rarely occur. Alternatively, one can use active power curtailment (APC) techniques, reducing the ...
متن کاملHigh frequency input impedance modeling of low-voltage residential installations - influence on lightning overvoltage simulations results
The overvoltage level of a system is strongly dependent on the connected loads and with more precise models, better and more reliable simulation results are obtained. This paper presents the input impedance characteristics, measured over a wide range of frequencies, of various actual low-voltage residential installations. The measured frequency responses were fitted by effective RLC models and ...
متن کاملThe Reliability Analysis of Distribution Systems with Different Overvoltage Protection Solutions
This paper presents a time-sequential simulation technique incorporating the effects of interruptions and voltage sags in the reliability cost/worth evaluation of distribution systems equipped with different overvoltage protection types. The interruption and voltage sag data for different overvoltage protection schemes was obtained from long-term measurements performed at a 110/20 kV substation...
متن کاملImpact of solar photovoltaics on the low-voltage distribution network in New Zealand
Residential rooftop-mounted solar photovoltaic (PV) panels are being installed at an increasing rate, both in New Zealand and globally. There have been concerns over possible issues such as overvoltage and overcurrent. These PV systems are mostly connected at low voltage (LV). This study presents a case study of simulating the entire LV network from a single utility, comprising 10,558 11 kV–415...
