Generators circuits

The magnitudes of fault currents under different conditions of fault are analysed in Table 13.9. Figure 14.5 has been redrawn in Figure 13.20 for a generator circuit illustrating the sub-transient, transient and steady-state currents on an actual fault. The curve depicts the most severe fault condition which occurs when the circuit voltage is the minimum, i.e. at Vq, causing the maximum asymmetry atid the associated d.c. component.

Normally only a 1-second system is in use. The 3-second system is severe, for which protective devices in certain ratings may not be possible or may become prohibitively costlier to prvivluce. The 3-sceond system may. however, be used for a generator circuit to protect the generating. source from a fallout on a fault elsewhere in the system.

The schematic of the staircase generator circuit is shown in Fig. 7.18. Not shown in the schematic is the power to the JK flip-flops and the AND gate. A +5-V DC input was used to power the digital ICs.

In the circuit of Figure 8.3b, a fixed resistance Rr is used in the input current-generating circuit. Since this same current passes through Ru and the operational amplifier maintains point S at the common potential, the output voltage e0 is equal to -iRu. From...

Here is a model of a parameterized N-bit parity generator circuit. The model provides both an odd parity and an even parity output. 

Electrometric methods are employed to detect the end points of conventional titrations, as well as those of the coulometric titrations described in Section 11.4. These detection methods typically involve two small electrodes in an indicator circuit that is electrically separate from the generating circuit that would be present for a coulometric titration. All electrometric methods are based on measurements of either the potential difference between the two electrodes in the indicator circuit (potentiometric methods) or the current passing in that circuit (amperometric methods). Further classification is based on the... 

Each light quantum effective in Reaction 1 eventually produces a second e aq via Reactions 2 and 3 (7), but scavengers such as 02, when present even in submicromolar concentrations, profoundly affect its formation and decay. To eliminate them we preirradiate our solutions with a second ultraviolet mercury lamp. After cleanup we can inject scavengers at micro- and submicromolar levels. During preirradiation and after the injection of samples, the solution in the cell is mixed by means of a small glass-encased iron rod, activated by a solenoid that receives repetitive pulses from a pulse-generating circuit. 

Situations occur, especially with offshore platforms, where no physical space is available to install an extra generator and its associated equipment. Sometimes the main switchrooms cannot accept any more switchgear, not even one more generator circuit breaker. Therefore the potential for upgrading a prime mover without having to make major changes to the electrical system is an option that should be considered seriously at the beginning of a project. 

To protect the system from prolonged high voltage it is the usual practice to install an overvoltage relay (59) in each of the generator circuit breakers or at their common busbar. The relay settings are usually set to operate at 115%, with a time delay between 0.5 and 10.0 seconds.
