Electrical power loss

The difference in the two is the electric power loss in the rotor circuit and is known as slip loss, i.e. 

Electric power loss Accumulation of noncondensibles Failure of automatic controls Loss of heat in series fractionation Volatile material entering system Heat exchanger tube failure... 

The electric power loss per unit time (also called the dielectric loss) is proportional to tan 5. Typical values are given in Table 31.3. ... 

Heat is generated in the electrochemical cell by means of electrical power loss related to the cell voltage, referred to as Joule heating, and also mechanical power loss related to the electrolyte flow. The Joule heating of the system is given by [2]... 

It was shown in the paper /12/ that the parameters of the system are dependent on the electrical efficiency of the reactor, the electric power losses in the neutron source and the energy increase coefficient in the blanket. 

Both EdF reference sets of EOPs cover incident procedures, DBA procedures and BDBA procedures which remain valid until fuel damage. Thereafter, the EOP set is no longer apphcable and SAGs are to be entered. Transition criteria are clearly defined and concentrated in only one procedure executed by the safety engineer. On the other side of the spectrum of events, all incidents that may lead to an accident situation are included in the EOP set. Such typical examples are LOCA and SG tube ruptures without safety injection, spurious safety injection, electrical power losses and operation from a shut down panel. For BDBA, typical examples are total loss of essential water/ component cooling, total loss of heat sink (SG feedwater), or total loss of electrical power (on-site/off-site). 

The low electric power loss inherent in the SPS structure, combined with the capability to easily fill thin walled, complex tools, has resulted in significant growth of SPS into electronic components such as embedded antennas and various interconnect devices that rely on consistent electrical performance.
