What is Coefficient Of Coupling?

The fraction of the magnetic flux generated by the current in one coil that links with the other coil is defined as the coefficient of coupling between the two coils, denoted by k.
Consider two coils, coil A and coil B. When current passes through one coil, it generates magnetic flux. However, not all of this flux will link with the other coupled coil. This is due to leakage flux, and the proportion of the flux that does link is characterized by a factor k, which is known as the coefficient of coupling.
When k = 1, the flux generated by one coil fully links with the other coil, referred to as magnetically tight coupling.When k = 0, the flux from one coil does not link with the other coil at all, meaning the coils are magnetically isolated.

DERIVATION

Consider two magnetic coils, A and B. When current I1 flows through coil A:
The above equation (A) shows the relationship between mutual inductance and self-inductance between the two coils

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
