Symmetrical and Unsymmetrical Faults

Consider a series R-L circuit. When the switch closes at a time equal to zero, it mimics a three-phase short circuit in an unloaded synchronous machine. …
A three-phase short circuit test on an unloaded synchronous machine is conducted to study its impact. The AC fault current's oscillogram with its DC …
In fault current analysis, transformers are modeled using leakage reactances, while transmission lines are represented by equivalent series reactances. …
The calculation of subtransient fault currents for three-phase faults in an N-bus power system is modeled by the positive-sequence network. A three-phase …
A circuit breaker interrupts fault currents by extinguishing the arc, which is elongated and cooled to stop the flow of electricity. Breakers are …
A Y-connected synchronous generator, grounded via neutral impedance, is designed to generate balanced internal phase voltages with only positive-sequence …
An ideal Y-Y transformer grounded via neutral impedances has per-unit sequence networks similar to a single-phase transformer when balanced positive or …
Consider a single line-to-ground fault from phase a to ground at a three-phase bus, including a fault impedance. This impedance is zero for a bolted …
Developments in photovoltaic device architectures are necessary to make solar energy a cost-effective and reliable source of renewable energy amidst …
The electro-hydrostatic actuator (EHA) is a promising actuating apparatus used in flight control systems for more electric aircraft (MEA) due to its high …
