1. Induced Lightning OvervoltageInduced lightning overvoltage refers to the transient overvoltage generated on overhead distribution lines due to nearby lightning discharges, even when the line is not directly struck. When a lightning flash occurs in the vicinity, it induces a large amount of charge on the conductors—opposite in polarity to the charge in the thundercloud.Statistical data shows that lightning-related faults caused by induced overvoltages account for approximately 90% of total fau

Error Tolerance of Total Harmonic Distortion (THD): A Comprehensive Analysis Based on Application Scenarios, Equipment Accuracy, and Industry StandardsThe acceptable error range for Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) must be evaluated based on specific application contexts, measurement equipment accuracy, and applicable industry standards. Below is a detailed analysis of key performance indicators in power systems, industrial equipment, and general measurement applications.1. Harmonic Error Standar

The solid-state transformer (SST), also known as a power electronic transformer (PET), uses voltage level as a key indicator of its technological maturity and application scenarios. Currently, SSTs have reached voltage levels of 10 kV and 35 kV on the medium-voltage distribution side, while on the high-voltage transmission side, they remain in the stage of laboratory research and prototype validation. The table below clearly illustrates the current status of voltage levels across different appli

Air-insulated ring main units (RMUs) are defined in contrast to compact gas-insulated RMUs. Early air-insulated RMUs used vacuum or puffer-type load switches from VEI, as well as gas-generating load switches. Later, with the widespread adoption of the SM6 series, it became the mainstream solution for air-insulated RMUs. Similar to other air-insulated RMUs, the key difference lies in replacing the load switch with an SF6-encapsulated type—where the three-position switch for load and grounding is

1 IntroductionAccording to the provisions of the national standard GB/T 1094.3-2017, the primary purpose of the line terminal AC withstand voltage test (LTAC) for power transformers is to evaluate the AC dielectric strength from the high-voltage winding terminals to ground. It does not serve to assess inter-turn insulation or phase-to-phase insulation.Compared with other insulation tests (such as full lightning impulse LI or switching impulse SI), the LTAC test imposes a relatively more stringen

I. Background and Challenges​Shore power systems have become core technical equipment for ports to reduce carbon emissions and noise pollution. However, these systems face two major challenges in the harsh operational environment of ports:​Severe Environmental Corrosion: High humidity and salt spray in port areas cause serious corrosion to metal components and enclosures of electrical equipment, significantly impacting electrical lifespan and operational reliability.​High Switching Requirements:

Issue Overview​The 10kV air compressor starting system of a company utilizes the ABB vacuum contactor KC2 as the control component for the operating circuit. The dedicated wide-voltage power supply module paired with this contactor presents the following issues:​Frequent failures: The power supply module fails to properly transition the voltage from 300V to 12V, resulting in fuse blowouts.​Poor heat dissipation: Enclosed installation of the module leads to insufficient heat dissipation, acceler
