It is well understood that induction motors draw higher currents during their starting operations than is the case under full load running conditions. Since the early days of induction motor availability, starting methods other than Direct-on-Line have been used, and in some cases mandated by Utilities, to reduce the effect of these high starting currents on the electrical distribution network....

Abstract The accurate identification of the converter transformer magnetizing inrush current can ensure safety operation UHV DC transmission system. In differential protection transformer, it is extremely hard to distinguish between excitation generated when closed and Fault due internal fault, which leads frequent misoperation extent that access fails. This paper proposes a model based on empi...

Inrush current with high amplitude is generated when the transformer energized. On one hand, it will have a negative impact on safety of itself, and even cause relay protection to malfunction. other may reduce operation speed there slight fault because restraint criteria. Both aspects affect grid security. Based generation mechanism inrush current, this paper proposes an reduction strategy that...

Many essential appliances like air conditioners and refrigerators which run in our offices and homes draw a heavy starting current. When the main power resumes or turned ‘ON’ suddenly, all the loads are switched ‘ON’ at a time and a very heavy initial current is drawn from mains. The current drawn is so high that other equipments are affected. The valuable home appliances can be ruined for such...

A step-up bridgeless single phase ac-dc power factor correction (PFC) rectifier based on Cuk topology is proposed for high voltage battery charger application. The proposed topology consists of common input stage and parallel output stages. It utilizes one control signal over the whole line cycle. In addition, the proposed converter exhibits low inrush current and low magnetic emissions as clas...
