Electricity is a big part of our day, powering all the tech we use. There are two main types of electricity users, or "loads," called linear and non-linear. This just means they use electricity from the power supply in different ways. This distinction affects everything from power efficiency to the longevity of devices. Categories of Electrical Loads: · Inductive Loads: Characterized b...
What is power quality? The IEC (1000-2-2/4) standard defines power quality as follows: power quality refers to the physical characteristics of power supply devices that do not interrupt or interfere with users' use of power under normal working conditions. The most serious power quality problems are voltage sags and complete voltage interruptions. In fact, power quality refers to the...
Due to the rapid development of power electronic technology, the nonlinear characteristics of industrial and agricultural power loads, especially transportation and civil electrical products are becoming more and more serious, and the power factor of users is also declining. Therefore, reactive power compensation devices are more and more widely used. The power compensation device is used to suppl...
Three-phase lines are common: three-phase three wire, three-phase four wire The three - phase three - wire system is star connection neutral point ungrounded and Angle connection method, the general high - voltage power supply uses three - phase three - wire system, three - phase four - wire is star connection neutral point grounding, low - voltage system uses three - phase four - wire system. &nb...
Effect of Poor Power Factor The major effect of poor power factor is higher value of line current. We know that power factor (pf) is an important parameter for calculation of power in an AC circuit. For a given power and voltage, the current flowing through the line is inversely proportional to the power factor. This means that a poor power factor i.e. low power factor will result in hig...
With the development of society and the increase of demand for electricity, Reactive power compensation technology has developed rapidly, including Static VAR Compensation and Dynamic Reactive Power compensation, and has gained rich operating experience. However, some problems have also been exposed in practice. Some reactive power compensation devices are inconvenient to move, and the equipment m...
What is EMC testing EMC test (Electro Magnetic Compatibility) refers to the comprehensive evaluation of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and anti-interference capability (EMS) of electronic products. It is one of the most important indicators of product quality. The measurement of electromagnetic compatibility consists of test sites and test instruments. The purpose of EMC test is ...
Power Quality Background A perfect electrical supply would deliver a constant frequency sinusoidal voltage waveform with unvarying magnitude. In daily work, power supplies deviate from this ideal situation because system loads vary and phenomena such as transients and outages may occur. If the power quality of the network is good, loads connected to it will run satisfactorily and efficiently. Insu...
