Bank switching

Table 12 illustrates the computation procedure in the case of m = 5 the plant may be envisaged, as in Section V.l, to consist of m cell banks, the quantity j denoting the number of banks switched back into operation. In the specific case of X = p (equi -probability of switching into either direction), Eq. (47) reduces to the binomial probability distribution of selecting j elements out of m identical elements with a single-event probability of xh.

The details of the memory redefinition process depend on the hardware design of the computer. Simultaneous redefinition of all addressable memory (bank switching) is found on some micro-computers. This is not well-suited to the implementation of large data structures because the program must be re-mapped along with the data. 

The total number of GISs 11,102, non-GISs 27,456. A control/ protection circuits of the operating CB/DS. B control/protection circuits independent of the operating CB/DS. 0 for unknown and capacitor bank switching. 

ROM organization is given in Fig. 9.19. The ROM circuit is divided into four banks of 16k x 8 bits for a total programme memory of 64 kbytes. This is also the normal addressing space of 8085. Because we also need RAM for data storage, the programme-controlled bank switch was introduced. 

Power Supplies and Controls. Induction heating furnace loads rarely can be connected directiy to the user s electric power distribution system. If the load is to operate at the supply frequency, a transformer is used to provide the proper load voltage as weU as isolation from the supply system. Adjustment of the load voltage can be achieved by means of a tapped transformer or by use of a solid-state switch. The low power factor of an induction load can be corrected by installing a capacitor bank in the primary or secondary circuit.

Thus, for a single capacitor switching of a 60 kVAr bank, a rating of 125 A will be required for the switch, fuse and the contactor etc. 

If we are able to provide an inductance of this value with each capacitor bank of 60 kVAr the problem of excessive inrush transient current can be overcome and the component ratings as chosen above will be sufficient to switch a parallel circuit. 

In this case we have considered the switching device to be rated for 125 A for each bank. In an LT system the switching... 

For obtaining a self-inductance of 42.93 pH consider a coil of 15 cm mean diameter (r= 7.5 cm) made of the same cable that is connecting each capacitor bank through the switching device. 

By providing 12 turns of 150 mm mean diameter of the 50 mm flexible copper cable connecting each 60 kVAr capacitor bank a self-inductance of roughly 42.93 x 10 H can be introduced into each switching circuit, which will limit the switching inrush current to almost the permissible value of the making current (/, ) of the switching device. 

Here the relay assesses the kVAr requirement of the system and switches ON all the required capacitors simultaneously. Theoretically any size of capacitor units can he used. But when a capacitor is taken out for maintenance, this can create confusion in the p.f. correction. The relay will not be aware of this and act accordingly. The bank size may also be large and cause switching surges. 

This is a highly recommended method of capacitor switching for installations that are large and require very fine monitoring and correction of p.f. with the smallest number of banks. The entire reactive requirement is arranged in only a few steps yet a small correction up to the smallest capacitor unit is possible. The relay is sequenced so that through its binary counter the required switching is achieved in small steps, with just four or six sets of capacitor units or banks. The operation of the entire sequence can be illustrated as follows ... 

A six-stage binary scheme should normally be adequate to switch even very large banks. Yet this sequencing can be further modified to achieve a more particular sequencing pattern when required, as noted below. 

For loads with fast variations, this type of a modified version too may be sluggish, due to step-by-step tuning. In such cases it is possible to employ two relays, one for coarse correction, such as through a serial relay (FIFO) which can quickly switch the large banks, and the other for fine tuning, which may be a binary relay. These two relays may be combined into one hybrid unit. The binary scheme can thus be modified to suit any required duty with prompt and finer corrections and least strain on a particular unit or on the system.
