Current transformers type tests

Type tests These are conducted on a finished voltage or current transformer, one of each design and type, to verify their compliance with the design data and relevant Standards. 

In three-phase three-limb transformer, DC fluxes compensate each other in the main limbs and connecting yokes. Thereby, this transformer type has the highest resiliency. Test results showed that even in case of impact of GIC equal to 50 nominal magnetization current ( 50/l), the transformer current... 

While the book portends to introduce transformative concepts, capable of broadening the technological base of the pharmaceutical industry, we are acutely aware that a sobering note is in order. Wrapping designs are physically sound and seem to withstand the test of academic scrutiny and, yet, ultimately, only clinical trials can fully assess their therapeutic value and safety. In this regard, and from a practical perspective, current business models in the pharmaceutical R D may not be sufficiently resilient to accommodate this type of core innovation. 

Tests carried out on transformer models of a ring type and with enclosed magnetic fields (by means of superconducting sheet metals) showed that with suitable layout current densities up to about 150 amp/mm in niobium wires (0,004 in. diameter) could be reached without destroying the superconductivity of the wires. Flux densities within the winding spaces measured up to 400 gauss. 

Sn-beta, combined with hydrogen peroxide as oxidant, has the potential to substitute classical oxidants, for example peracids, in BV oxidations. As an example, the oxidation of delfone (2 pentylcyclopentanone) to d-decalactone (tetrahydro-6-pentyl-2H-pyran-2-one) is currently achieved using the corrosive peracetic acid. The resultant lactones have a creamy coconut-and peach-like aroma and are important flavor constituents of many types of fruit, and cheese and other dairy products. The lactones are also used in fragrances the two enantiomers have different aromas. Sn-beta was tested for this BV transformation in a stirred reactor. The desired lactone product was obtained in 86% yield in the presence of the Sn-beta catalyst. (302) This result demonstrated clearly that the combination of Sn-beta and hydrogen peroxide is an environmentally friendly alternative to the commonly used organic peracids, even in asymmetric synthesis. Instead of a stoichiometric amount of carboxyHc acid waste, water is produced as a side product from the oxidant. 

The real world test parameters discussed above have been incorporated into the fire hazard assessment model used by UL (Webber 1983) to determine the compliance of transformer fluids with section 450.23 of the National Electrical Code. In order to be compliant with the code, transformers insulated with less-flammable liquids are permitted to be installed without a vault in Type I and Type II buildings of approved noncombustible materials in areas in which no combustible materials are stored, provided there is a liquid confinement area, the liquid has a fire point of not less than 300 C and the installation complies with all restrictions provided for in the listing of the liquid. UL has identified the need for pressure relief devices and current limiting fusing to limit the effect of possible high current arcing faults. 

For special applications, compliance may be achieved by other means. For example, the insertion of a 1 1 safety transformer in a mains voltage system would isolate the system on the secondary side from the earthed neutral system on the primary. Earthing one pole of the secondary side through an impedance so as to limit the potential earth fault current to no more than about 5 mA would create a system that would prevent eleetric shock injuries for a phase-to-earth fault. It is usual to employ a circuit that detects the flow of fault current and trips a circuit breaker controlling the supply. This type of system is often used in test areas.
