Protection of TVSS Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
Transient voltage surge suppressors (TVSSs) using MOV technology are widely used to protect power systems and components against the effects of transient overvoltages. However MOVs can fail explosively under certain conditions, and protection is needed. Thermal protectors provide protection against failure under sustained power-frequency overvoltages, and in the paper the requirements for and performance of a typical thermal protector are given. The role of a series fuse is discussed in detail, and alternative protection philosophies are compared, leading to recommendations for the fusing of TVSS systems. The development of a new range of fuses and their key performance characteristics are described. Finally the performance of MOVs and fuses with repetitive surges is compared and it is shown how these two components can complement each other in an integrated TVSS system.

We describe the design process we have used to develop a minimal, twenty vibration motor Tactile Vision Sensory Substitution (TVSS) system which enables blind-folded subjects to successfully track and bat a rolling ball and thereby experience ‘skin vision’. We have employed a lo-fi rapid prototyping approach to build this system and argue that this methodology is particularly effective for buil...

متن کاملDC Microgrid Protection in the Presence of the Photovoltaic and Energy Storage Systems
In recent years, most of the loads and distributed generations are connected to the AC grid through the power electronic converters. Using the DC grid beside the AC grid can reduce the conversion stages and power losses. Protection of the DC grids is a challenging issue because of the new structures of DC grids and fast transients of the DC faults. This paper studies the protection of the low v...
