A

HARMONIC ANALYSIS IS NECCESSARY

TO LOOK AT HARMONIC DISTORTION,RESONANCE POINT AND IMPACT OF ELEMENT

RESONANT FREQUENCY

67
Q

WHERE SHOULD BE HARMONIC FILTER PLACED

FILTERSHOUL BE PLACED NEAR TO HARMONIC SOURCE

68
Q

DOES SATURATION OF TRAFO CAUSE HARMONICS

A

YES BUT FOR SHORT PERIOD OF TIME

69
Q

DO WE NEED TO PERFORM HARMONIC ANALYSIS FOR ISLANDED SYSTEM?WHY?

A

YES BECAUSE SHORT CIRCUIT CURRENT AT ISLANDED SYSTEM IS LOW WHICH LEADS INCREASE IN HARMONICS.ALSO YOU NEED TO PERFORM HARMONIC ANALSIS TO CHECK WHETER DEISEL GENERATOR ARE CAPABLE OF WITHSTANDING HARMONICS

70
Q

HARMONICS ORDER TYPE AND ITS RESULTING CURRENT

A 
1ST ORDER-     +VE SEQUENCE CURRENT
2ND ORDER-   -VE SEQUENCE CURRENT
3RD ORDER-     ZERO SEQUENCE CURRENT
4TH ORDER-     +VE SEQUENCE CURRENT
5TH ORDER-      -VE SEQUENCE CURRENT
6TH ORDER-      ZERO SEQUENCE CURRENT
ETC
71
Q

WHAT IS EFFECT OF NEGATIVE SEQUENCE CURRENT IN GENERATORS?

A

GENERATOR ROTATES IN OPPOSITE DIRECUTION .SO TORQUE(BREAKING) IS GENERATOR WHICH CAUSES THE HEAT TO INCREASE

72
Q

What can harmonics do to transformers?

A

Harmonics generate additional heat in transformer thus reducing the life expectancy of trafo

73
Q

Why is low voltage side generators are solidly earthed?

A

We are going for solidly earthed because fault current will be higher and it could be easily detectable by current principle by over system protection devices.

Lv side has ACB ,MCCB,MCB.now except electronic devices all other like thermal magnetic or mcb cannot detect earth fault
