following our interest in reaching for a molded rubber article with possible detergent contact applications, durable silver nanopowder (agnp) is synthesized by arc discharge, then mixed with varying ratios of ethylene propylene rubber (epr), affording novel agnp@epr nanocomposites. x-ray diffraction (xrd) patterns of agnp as well as agnp@epr show no trace of impurity, while scanning electron mi...

Partial discharge of an insulator or surge arrester is a symptom of an insulation breakdown or insulation failure. It is very important to know the position of discharge source as soon as possible in order to remove this cause. In order to achieve remote monitoring of the faults due to an insulator and surge arrester on the distribution systems, the most important things need to do is to determ...

This paper presents a new application of a fractional order control system which controls the input energy to a three phase electric arc furnace. Graphite electrodes are used to convert electrical energy into heat via phase electric arcs. Constant arc length is desirable as it implies steady energy transfer from the graphite electrodes to the metallic charge in the furnace bath. With the charge...

PROBLEM It is estimated that 5 to 10 arc flash explosions occur in electric equipment every day in the United States. In the mining industry the largest single injury category of electrical injuries are caused by non-contact electrical arcs. METHOD This investigation progressed in two phases: (a) 836 Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) reports of electric arcing incidents that occurr...

Electrical discharge machining process, is one of the most widely used methods for machining, the electrically conductive parts. In this way the tool is not in contact with the workpiece and the hardness of workpiece does not affect the machining speed. In Electrical Discharge Machining process, selection of the correct machining parameters are effective in final cost and the quality of the pro...
