Harmonic Analysis Flashcards
When harmonics are involved what percentage of Breaker settings is advisable for Other load breakers and capacitor bank breaker?
As per IEEE standard
Considering harmonics :
Capacitor bank breakers pick up= 1.4 times *full load amps
And add additional 20 % margin which is
1.6 times *full load amps
Capacitor bank voltage should be equal to
Bus voltage it is connected ,otherwise kvar value varies
What equipment is needed for 12 pulse converter?
Transformer
In this circuit or device current leads voltage by 90 degree and power factor is zero
Pure capacitor because true power equal to zero
In this circuit or device current lags voltage by 90 degree and power factor is zero
Pure inductive circuit because true power qual to zero and no dissipitative resistive component in circuit and circuit is reactive
In this circuit current and voltage are in phase and Power factor is one
Resistive circuit because reactive power equals to zero
Average power is zero in
Inductive load which leads to current is flowing without no work done by inductive load but current circulates in line thereby increasing losses and voltage
Average power is not zero in
Resistive load
Frequency of power is double of its voltage frequency in which load?
Pure inductive load
Real power is positive or unidirectional in which load ?
Resistive load
Power is negative for small duration and power is positive for longer duration for which power factor?
Cos(0.8)
Power factor=0.80
True power factor formula
Cos pi* sqr root of 1/1+(thd)^2
When try power factor and thd are used
When non linear load are present
Which is voltage harmonic devices?
Arc furnace and all other devices are current harmonic device
What are harmonic sources?
A devices which changes the nature of voltage and current waveforms
If inductive reactance increases?frequency?
Frequency increases
When capacitive reactance increases?frequency?
Frequency decreases
Which equipment provides low impedance path for high frequency harmonics?
Shunt capacitance so harmonic current goes to capacitance instead of source
Which equipment opposes high frequency harmonics?
Inductor
Formula for peak value
Square root of 2 * rms value
If source impedance of grid is increased what happens to source short circuit current and voltage thd? And current THD?
Source short circuit current decrease which results in increase in voltage THD
If source impedance of grid is decreased what happens to source short circuit current and voltage thd?
Source short circuit current increases which results in decrease in voltage THD
If x/R ratio of source increases?
THD increase
If x/R ratio of source decreases?
THD decreases
R value remains same while X value varies
If Transformer impedance is increased
THD below Transformer increases and THD above Transformer decreases
If transformer impedance is decreased
THD below TRANSFORMER decreases and THD above transformer increase
When connecting capacitor bank in Down stream system filled with harmonic source?
Smart thing is add reactor with capacitor bank because reactor limits harmonic current
cable selections is depends on what factors?
1) voltage drop
2) short circuit withstand capacity
3) current carrying capacity
what is formula for MIN cross sectional area of cable
A= SHORT CIRCUIT CUURENT * (SQRT ROOT OF t)/K
t= FAULT CLEARING TIME OR DURATION OF SHORT CIRCUIT k= S.C TEMP RISE CONSTANT
