Testing of Motor Protection for Internal Faults

Protection in electrical power system plays an important role in human and material safety during abnormal operating conditions. The heart of electrical protection system is the relay which senses abnormalities and commands the switches to break the circuit during a fault. Hence, optimization of protection parameters has gained paramount...

Analysis of Switching Transient Overvoltages in the Power System of Floating Production Storage and Offloading Vessel

Large transient overvoltages are normally caused by vacuum circuit breaker (VCB) switching operation during disconnection of induction motors. In this paper VCBs, cables, generators, busbars, induction motors and surge arresters are modeled by making use of ATP-EMTP. Switching transient overvoltages of four typical induction motors are analyzed...

Analysis of Switching Transient Overvoltage in the Power System of Floating Production Storage and Offloading Vessel

Large transient overvoltages can be caused by the switching operation of vacuum circuit breakers of induction motors. In order to analyze the switching transient overvoltage and use an appropriate protective method in the power system of floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel, the accurate models of electrical equipments are...
