The Constant Flux Linkage Principle in Alternator Transients
The constant flux linkage concept is fundamental to analyzing alternator transients. It states: In a closed circuit with zero resistance and capacitance, flux linkages remain unchanged following a sudden disturbance, preserving their pre-disturbance values.
In alternators, armature and field windings exhibit negligible capacitance, and their resistances are insignificant compared to inductances. Thus, these windings can be treated as purely inductive. Consequently, any abrupt change in current within one winding must be offset by a corresponding current adjustment in the other winding to maintain constant flux linkages—an essential mechanism for transient stability.
Proof of the Constant Flux Linkage Theorem
Mesh voltage equations for electrical circuits can be generally expressed as:
Using the symbol Ψ for the flux linkage (Nϕ), the equations may be written as follows:
Where e1 denotes the resultant voltage, a function of time t.Integrating equation (2) yields the change in flux linkage from an arbitrary initial time, expressed as:
Where Δt represents a small time interval. As Δt approaches zero, the integral term vanishes, leading to ∑Ψ=0.Thus, the instantaneous change in flux linkage is zero.

Working Voltage in Power System
Working Voltage in Power System
Working VoltageThe term "working voltage" refers to the maximum voltage that a device can withstand without sustaining damage or burning out, while ensuring the reliability, safety, and proper operation of both the device and associated circuits.For long-distance power transmission, the use of high voltage is advantageous. In AC systems, maintaining a load power factor as close to unity as possible is also economically necessary. Practically, heavy currents are more challenging to handle than hi

Frequency division method for measuring grid-to-ground insulation parameters
Frequency division method for measuring grid-to-ground insulation parameters
The frequency division method enables the measurement of grid-to-ground parameters by injecting a current signal of a different frequency into the open delta side of the potential transformer (PT).This method is applicable to ungrounded systems; however, when measuring the grid-to-ground parameters of a system where the neutral point is grounded via an arc suppression coil, the arc suppression coil must be disconnected from operation beforehand. Its measurement principle is shown in Figure 1.As

The insulation parameters of the power grid to ground are measured by the tuning method
The insulation parameters of the power grid to ground are measured by the tuning method
The tuning method is suitable for measuring the ground parameters of systems where the neutral point is grounded via an arc suppression coil, but not applicable to ungrounded neutral point systems. Its measurement principle involves injecting a current signal with continuously varying frequency from the secondary side of the Potential Transformer (PT), measuring the returned voltage signal, and identifying the system's resonant frequency.During the frequency sweeping process, each injected heter

Effect of Transition Resistance at the Grounding Point on the Rising Speed of Zero - sequence Voltage
Effect of Transition Resistance at the Grounding Point on the Rising Speed of Zero - sequence Voltage
In an arc - suppression coil grounding system, the rising speed of the zero - sequence voltage is greatly affected by the value of the transition resistance at the grounding point. The larger the transition resistance at the grounding point, the slower the rising speed of the zero - sequence voltage.In an ungrounded system, the transition resistance at the grounding point has basically no impact on the rising speed of the zero - sequence voltage.Simulation Analysis: Arc - suppression Coil Ground
