This paper describes the model and analyzes custom power devices for compensating voltage sag and swell conditions in three phase systems. Faults occurring in power distribution systems or facilities in plants cause the voltage sag or swell. If a fault occurs, it can damage the power system or user’s facility. Sensitivity to voltage sags and swells varies within different applications. For sens...

1. Oxygen consumption measurements made while a chicken erythrocyte swells show no increase over the control value. 2. There is no change in the rate of anaerobic glycolysis in beef erythrocytes when they swell. 3. The above statements are true whether the cells swell from a shrunken condition back to the normal volume, or swell from the normal to the hemolytic volume. 4. These data add a furth...

The hypothesis that cellular hypertrophy in congestive heart failure (CHF) modulates mechanosensitive (ie, swelling- or stretch-activated) channels was tested. Digital video microscopy and amphotericin-perforated-patch voltage clamp were used to measure cell volume and ion currents in ventricular myocytes isolated from normal dogs and dogs with rapid ventricular pacing-induced CHF. In normal my...

In the present study we used whole-cell patch clamp recordings to investigate swelling-activated Cl-currents (ICl-swell) in M-1 mouse cortical collecting duct (CCD) cells. Hypotonic cell swelling reversibly increased the whole-cell Cl- conductance by about 30-fold. The I-V relationship was outwardly-rectifying and ICl-swell displayed a characteristic voltage-dependence with relatively fast inac...

OBJECTIVE Myocardial swelling occurs during endotoxic shock. The hypothesis that swelling-activated Cl- current (ICl,swell) activates during endotoxic shock was tested. METHODS Endotoxic shock was induced by intravenous lipopolysaccharides (10 mg/kg) in guinea pigs. The effects of ICl,swell blockers on the cardiac action potentials in papillary muscles and on the ICl,swell in single ventricul...

Abstract— A new development of voltage control scheme for power quality improvement such as voltage sag, swell, harmonics, and transient conditions in three-phase power systems has been proposed. Faults occurring in power distribution systems or amenities can inject the voltage sag or swell. This fault can damage or affect the power transmission and distribution. For sensitive loads, the short ...
