Aspects Regarding Testing of Electromagnetic Contactors Sensitivity to Voltage Dips

The study of technical parameters of low-voltage switching devices of Russian production – magnetic starters PML and switches RE19 has been carried out. The problem of evaluating energy efficiency of operation of magnetic starters and switches installed in in-plant power supply systems has been presented. The main destabilizing factors significantly affecting the technical characteristics of switching devices with voltage up to 1 kV have been given. Reliability of functioning of the investigated devices, first of all, depends on the degree of wear of switching contacts. The dependences of the heating temperature of the contact areas of switching devices on the loading coefficient have been studied. It has been revealed that with the increase of loading of devices in the range from 1,0 to 2,0Inom the temperature of contacts and contact areas is within the permissible limits in accordance with the requirements of GOST 403-73. The main factors influencing the resistance of contact connections – current flowing through the contacts, their dimensions and heating temperature – have been shown. According to the results of theoretical and experimental studies approximating functions of dependences of resistance of contacts and contact connections of switching devices on rated current have been developed and errors of the calculated method of contact resistance estimation have been determined. The developed dependencies can be used to determine the equivalent resistance of networks of in-plant power supply when estimating the level of power losses, which will increase the reliability of the results obtained.

This research examines the impact of interruptions in electricity supply on the production of small and medium enterprises in West Sumatra from 2014 to 2021. The data used in the research was obtained from the Ministry of Trade and Industry of West Sumatra, including the production variables, employment, investment, and other variables that influence the production activities. A regression equation connecting production factors and production levels is formulated. Furthermore, another regression equation is also formulated by considering the electricity interruption factor, namely the SAIDI index on production levels. The effect of electrical power interruptions is then evaluated by comparing the two equations. The research results show that the most significant production loss occurred in 2019, 16.07 hours/year, while the most negligible loss occurred in 2015, 6.53 hours/year. Trend data collected during the research period regarding loss conditions and interruption parameters shows that electricity disturbances do not have a linear impact on production losses. The research also shows that electric power does not significantly impact the production activities of small and medium enterprises in West Sumatra.
