To derive the relationships for calculating determination of equivalent quantities for electromagnetic field in massive ferrous bodies at strongly varying loads. Methodology. We have applied methodological fundamentals of skin-effect theory for massive ferrous bodies combined with methods of mathematical physics as well as physical and computer simulation. Findings. We have found the mathematical expressions for the equivalence ratios allowing calculate basic electromagnetic field quantities, such as magnetic flux and losses, in massive ferrous bodies under strongly varying loads. Their adequacy is confirmed by research on physical and computer models, as well as existing computational procedures of the additional losses in the massive units of energy-intensive electrical equipment for special purposes. Originality. For the first time, we have established mathematical dependencies between skin losses and magnetic flux in massive ferrous body and total and individual harmonic distortion of periodically varying magnetic and electric fields. Found dependences are the basis for the development of refined computational procedures for determining the parameters of the electromagnetic field in massive ferromagnetic elements of electrical equipment under stronglyvarying loads. Practical value. The use of derived expressions for the equivalence ratios enable successfully solve the problems aimed to optimize constructive components when designing electrical equipment for supplying consumers with stronglyvarying behavior of the load.
Purpose. To establish quantitative indicators of the influence of non-sinusoidal loads on the parameters and operability of contacts of voltage control devices of transformers of power-consuming electrical installationsMethodology. In our research, we used the probabilistic-statistical methods to analyze the experimental findings. Experimental studies were carried out applying advanced software-based methods for processing, systematizing and visualizing the findings derived.Findings. The analysis of the accident rate of transformers for power-consuming technological installations showed that adjustable transformers, in particular, on-load tap-changers, are in many cases the cause of failure in the operation of electrical installations. On the example of a switching device of the RNOA-110/1250 type, it was experimentally established that the non-sinusoidality of the current caused by abruptly alternating loads, in combination with an increase in the number of switchings, leads to an increase in the contact resistance, which significantly reduces the reliability and serviceability of contacts.Originality. The dependence of the transient resistance of the contacts of the voltage control device under the load of the transformer on the degree of non-sinusoidality of the load current is obtained.Practical value. The results of the work can be used in the development of new designs of on-load tap-changers for special purpose operation under conditions of load fluctuations. In particular, the work is aimed to increase the reliability of on-load tap changers contact systems, as well as in the study of the operating conditions of network and furnace transformers in power supply systems of energy-intensive technological installations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
