In this article, a non-destructive method, using 2D X-ray imaging, to investigate corrosion defects in thick film resistors stressed by two different experiments, the single gas experiment and flowers of sulphur experiment, is presented. total, 370 devices under test (DUTs) were investigated, imaging technique, which 10 imaged sequence images evaluate propagation. The observed underlying produc...

A cost effective, low maintenance generator brake is proposed using recent developments in thick film, metal oxide resistors. The brake has very low resistance, and virtually no inductance, allowing its use &ring a fault to slow a generator’s acceleration. Simulation results using the 39 Bus New England system show that placing brakes at each machine dramatically increases the global stability ...
