Harmonic variation

The greatest effect of ageing is reflected by the variation in its resistive current, which is rich in the third harmonic. Variation in is used in assessing the condition of an arrester. By conducting laboratory tests to determine the characteristics of an arrester, we can establish a ratio between the total leakage current, IZnO and the content of If, to assess the condition of the arrester. If we can monitor this current, we can monitor the condition of the arrester. Below we discuss briefly one such method by which this component can be separated out. 

The curve drawn illustrates how the model fits measured data. The first derivative of Equation 30.4 allows calculating the slope at any strain. The same model can be used to fit any relative torque harmonic, for instance the 3rd one, T(3/l). Note that in using Equation 30.4 to model harmonics variation with strain, one may express the deformation (or strain) y either in degree angle or in percent. Obviously all parameters remain the same except C, whose value depends on the unit for y. The following equality applies for the conversion C(y,deg) = x C(y,%), where a = 0.125 rad. 

Eqs (14-21) and (14-23) are important inasmuch as they show how changes in barometric pressure affect the volume of air added or subtracted within a soil. The harmonic variation imposed for the sake of illustration can be approximated for any locality where data or barometric changes are available. Buckingham computed the mean pressure...

If a small harmonic variation in a material s composition exists along some direction, this equation shows how large a harmonic variation in transverse compressive stress magnitude we can expect to exist at the same time. 

The first point to be considered is the profile shape of the transverse stress In an experiment, one might imagine controlling the profile shape of the concentration C, and discovering how varied. Here we assumed that <7 is harmonic and derived eqn. (14.9) just to fix its amplitude. Looking at eqn. (14.7), one can see that if C is harmonic, then a similar harmonic variation in is certainly one possible solution. To go further and show that this is the only possible solution would be an extra step. For the present, we simply pass over the possibility that other solutions might exist, and explore the significance of the solution we have in hand. 

For linear problems, the input and response have the same harmonic variation. A steady periodic solution must then have the form...

As a first step in the direction outlined here some manufacturers and BAM last year discussed the problems and the possible procedures of such a system of quality assurance. As a result of this meeting round robin tests for the harmonization of the measurements of film system parameters and a possible procedure of surveillance of the quality of film systems were proposed. Closely related to these the BAM offers to perform the classification of film systems. But as during the production of films variations of the properties of the different batches cannot be avoided, the results of measurements of films of a single batch will be restricted to this charge, while only the measurements and mean of several batches of a film type will give representative values of its properties. This fact is taken into account already in section 4 of the standard EN 584-1 which can be interpreted as a kind of continuous surveillance. In accordance with this standard a film system caimot be certified on the base of measurements of a single emulsion only.

Torsional vibration can also be a problem and results from pressure variations in the cyhnders which can produce cyclic torques with harmonics ranging from half speed to 10 or 12 times running speed.

The above data is for a general reference. Actual harmonic distortion on the system during operation will depend upon the types of connected loads and their operating conditiotis, such as variation in its loading and fluctuations in the system voltage. 

Oscillating torque in the rotating machines as a result of load variations and harmonics present in the systetn. 

All such loads generate harmonics and cause variations in the fundamental power frequency of the supply sy.stem which leads to distortion in the sinusoidal waveform of the voltage. This distortion may affect the quality of the supply system (voltage) beyond desirable limits, A non-sinusoidal and distorted supply system may adversely affect the different loads connected on the system, besides leading to outage of the sy.stem itself. 

The factors discussed in Section 23.5.2 give rise directly to the current drawn by the capacitor unit and indirectly add to its rating. The relevant Standards on this device recommend a continuous overload capacity of 30% to account for all such factors. A capacitor can have a tolerance of up to -t-15% in its capacitance value (Section 26.3.1(1)). All current-carrying components such as breakers, contactors, switches, fuses, cables and busbar systems associated with a capacitor unit or its banks, must therefore be rated for at least 1.3 x 1.15/,., i.e. 1.54. For circuits where higher amplitudes of harmonics are envisaged, for reasons of frequent load variations or more... 

B3) These variations are related to the refinement procedures much more than to the experimental data [23] and are generally larger than in high resolution structures of small molecules. In MD calculations with harmonic bond lengths and bond angles they are still higher. 

The inverters are either voltage source or current source (see Figure 7-7a and b). There are other variations, but they apply to drivers smaller than the ones used with compressors. However, pulse-width-modulated (PWM) (see Figure 7-7c), transistorized units are less complicated and are relatively maintenance-free with reliable units available to at least 500 hp. For all but the smaller compressors, the current source inverter is the one typically used. With a six-step voltage source, a rule of thumb has been to size the motor at two-thirds of its rating so as not to exceed the insulation temperature rise. For current source motors, the output torque is not constant with decreased speed, which fortunately is compatible with most compressors, as torque tends to follow speed. For current source drives, one needs to upsize the motor captive transformer by approximately 15% to account for harmonic heating effects.
