Resistor closing

In thermal magnetic breakers, the thermal tripping is caused by the flowing current through the resistor close to the bimetallic strip. When the current exceeds the rated value, the bimetallic element trips the... 

Three-phase closing surges on a 500 kV untransposed vertical line, (a) No resistor closing, (b) Resistor closing. 

It is a common practice to adopt a closing resistor into a CB on EHV and UHV systems in Japan. Figure 2.16 shows the effect of resistor closing on a closing surge on an untransposed vertical double-circuit line of Figure 1.25... 

Temperature detectors embedded in the motor winding give close, accurate indication of motor temperature. Both conventional resistance temperature detec tors (RTD) and special thermistors (highly temperature-sensitive nonlinear resistors) are used. With appropriate auxiliaries these devices can indicate or record motor temperature, alarm, and/or shut down the motor. 

The pH (or pI) term of the Nemst equation contains the electrode slope factor as a linear temperature relationship. This means that a pH determination requires the instantaneous input, either manual or automatic, of the prevailing temperature value into the potentiometer. In the manual procedure the temperature compensation knob is previously set on the actual value. In the automatic procedure the adjustment is permanently achieved in direct connection with a temperature probe immersed in the solution close to the indicator electrode the probe usually consists of a Pt or Ni resistance thermometer or a thermistor normally based on an NTC resistor. An interesting development in 1980 was the Orion Model 611 pH meter, in which the pH electrode itself is used to sense the solution temperature (see below). 

Electrical conductance probes These can be either flush probes or wire probes. Flush probes are imbedded in a nonconducting wall, with one electrode connected to a voltage source and the second through a precision resistor to ground (Telles and Dukler, 1970 Chu and Dukler, 1974). Wire probes use closely spaced, nearly parallel conducting wires of small diameter, which are positioned normal to the flow (Brown et al., 1978). 

It is evident that the current still leads the voltage but that the "phase angle, a, will vary from close to 90° at low frequencies to close to 0 at high frequencies. Also, at low frequency Z — 1 /tuC and at high frequency Zf — R. In other words, at low frequencies, the circuit behaves like a pure capacitor but at high frequencies it behaves like a pure resistor. Moreover, by fitting the observed current data as a function of frequency to calculated values of Zj and a, an accurate estimate of both R and C can be made. 

We need to place both resistors of the divider physically close to the converter (and its control). The upper resistor is connected by a long trace to the output rail at the load end, whereas the lower resistor is connected directly to the converter ground (where the reference is located). 

Proper calibration of the DSC instruments is crucial. The basis of the enthalpy calibration is generally the enthalpy of fusion of a standard material [21,22], but electrical calibration is an alternative. A resistor is placed in or attached to the calorimeter cell and heat peaks are produced by electrical means just before and after a comparable effect caused by the sample. The different heat transfer conditions during calibration and measurement put limits on the improvement. DSCs are usually limited to temperatures from liquid nitrogen to 873 K, but recent instrumentation with maximum temperatures close to 1800 K is now commercially available. The accuracy of these instruments depends heavily on the instrumentation, on the calibration procedures, on the type of measurements to be performed, on the temperature regime and on the... 

In NO loops or circuits, all of the system s sensors and switches are connected in parallel. The contacts are at rest in the open (off) position, and no current passes through the system. However, when an event triggers the sensor, the loop is closed. This allows current to flow through the loop, powering the alarm. NO systems are not supervised because the alarm will not be activated if the loop or circuit is broken or cut. However, adding an end-of-line resistor to an NO loop will cause the system to alarm if tampering is detected. 

A second structure to consider is a synthetic nanowall structure consisting of a closely packed forest of CNTs patterned into walls, on a square, hexagonal or triangular lattice (Fig. 13.6) [35]. These also allow for emission site redundancy. They have the added advantage that they can accommodate the lateral ballast resistor between a current source and the emitting walls. 

The discrete microhotplates were packaged and bonded in a DIL-28 package for temperature sensor cahbration. A Pt-lOO-temperature sensor was attached to the chip package in close vicinity to the sensors. The chips were then caHbrated in an oven at temperatures up to 325 °C with the help of the Pt-100 resistor. A second-order polynomial was extracted from the measurements for each temperature sensor providing the temperature coefficients i and a2. ... 

The noise of an actual resistance is always higher than the theoretical limit. While for metal resistors the noise level is close to the theoretical limit, the noise level in carbon resistors is much higher. The resistance of the tunneling junction, which is parallel to the feedback resistor, should be taken into account when its value is comparable to that of the feedback resistor. 

We now have a better view of the schematic page. Note that we can zoom in and out while still placing parts and that the resistor moves with the mouse. Zoom out until you see a screen close to the one shown below ... 

At this point you may have some mistakes in your schematic. You may have clicked the LEFT mouse button one too many times and placed too many resistors on your schematic, or you may have placed resistors too close to each other. To move parts follow the procedure below. For the moment we will assume that you wish to move a resistor. 

The resistors in this example were tweaked slightly to achieve a current close to 1 mA. We will now see how this circuit performs with temperature changes. 

We have named the model RlOOPPtTl and specified the value of TCI to be lOOu, or 100x1 O 6. We will use this model for all of the resistors. Select File and then Save to save the model, and then select File and then Exit to close the model editor. When you return to the schematic, the resistor model name should be changed to RlOOppm ...
