Short-circuit condition

This inherent feature of ECM, whereby an equiHbriumgap width is obtained, is used widely in ECM for reproducing the shape of the cathode tool on the workpiece. (J) Under short-circuit conditions the gap width goes to zero. If process conditions such as too high a feed rate arise the equiHbrium gap may be so small that contact between the two electrodes ensues. This condition causes a short circuit between the electrodes and hence premature termination of machining. 

For safe stall conditions t, f should be less than the thermal withstand time of the motor under locked or short-circuit condition. 

Type I Under short-circuit conditions the contactor or the starter will cause no damage to the operator or the installation but may not remain suitable for further. service without repairs or replacement of some of its parts. In other words, contact welding of the contactor is allowed and burnout of OCR is acceptable. In either case replacement of components may be necessary. 

Type 2 On the other hand. Type 2 degree of protection limits the extent of damage in the case of a short-circuit. Now under short-circuit conditions, the contactor or the starter will present no risk to the operator or the installation and will remain suitable for further service. In other words, no damage to the contactor or the OCR is permitted. It may, however, be interpreted that contact welding may be permissible to the extent that the contactor can be put to service once again after a brief period by separating the contacts with the help... 

Supposing the current and the voltage waves both have some value on their respective wave forms at the instant of short-circuit. The current will again tend to become somewhat asymmetrical but not fully. The content of asymmetry will depend upon the instant at which the short-circuit condition occurs on the current wave and the p.f. of the faulty circuit (Figure 13.27). The higher the recovery voltage at the instant of fault, the lower will be the asymmetry (at l/, , the d.c. component will be zero) and vice versa (at Fq. the d.c. component will be the maximum). 

It is observed that there may be asymmetry in the system as long as the short-circuit condition lasts, as illustrated in Figure 13.20, i.e. up to the opening of the interrupting device. (For opening times of interrupters, refer to Table 19.1.) But the content of the asymmetry may be quite feeble after three or four cycles. Flowever. if the short-circuit condition still prevails, such as when...

The generation of an asymmetrical current on an a.c. system, leads to the inference that a short-circuit condition will give rise to a d.c. component due to a shift in its zero axis. During the sub-transient state the value of the asymmetrical current will be the phasor sum of the symmetrical /sc and the asymmetrical current components. For details refer to Section 14.3.6. 

The maximum it can operate is under a locked rotor condition of a motor, in which case the maximum current may not exceed six to seven times its rated current, which is moderate and far less than a short-circuit condition. Hence, it is not considered in Table 13.1.3. 

The d.c. component, /j ., at any instant should be a niininiuni of 50% that of the corresponding peak value of the a.c. component of the symmetrical fault current /.,c, /.,ci. /jctri. at any instant, during the period of the short-circuit condition, /jc should bo S 0..S V2 /jc- Otherwise the asymmetry may be ignored, being insignificant. 

This is the steady-state symmetrical fault current, which the faulty circuit may almost achieve in about three or four cycles from commencement of the short-circuit condition at point Oi (Figure 14.5) and which the interrupting device should be able to break successfully. 

For circuits protected by HRC fuses for short-circuit conditions, the G/F relay must be a back-up to the fuses, and trip first on a ground fault. In other words, 1 1 (relay) < rt fuses. 

Assume the temperature of the busbars at the time of fault = 85°C and rectangular flats of electrolytic grade E-91E or its equivalent. Busbars chosen for each phase - four (152.4 mm X 6.35 mm) - which are more than the minimum size required to account for the thermal effects during a short circuit condition... 

For more clarity on the subject, in the light of note 1 above we have also worked out the earlier Example 28.6, for short-circuit conditions and then analysed the above details for this arrangement. Assuming... 

When using the above metals for the purpose of current carrying, their mechanical suitability must be checked with the data provided above to withstand, without permanent deformation, the electrodynamic forces that may develop during a short-circuit condition (Section 28.4.2). 

Shock compression of piezoelectric solids, even under short-circuit conditions, causes large electric fields of varying amplitude and polarity within the material. In the uncoupled approximation to the solution of the short-circuit...

This implies that Electrochemical Promotion or NEMCA is an electrochemically controlled metal-support interaction. It also implies that metal-support interactions on these supports can be viewed as a self-driven wireless NEMCA system, such as the one explored by Cavalca, Haller and Vayenas for the CH3OH oxidation system under catalyst-counter electrode short-circuit conditions where gaseous 02 replenishes O2 in the YSZ support at the vicinity of the counter electrode.24... 

The strong photocorrosion effect on an electrodeposited CdSe film treated near short-circuit conditions (positive to the flat band potential) in a polysulfide media under intense illumination is shown in Fig. 5.5, as manifested by the formation of numerous, regularly arranged pinholes often reaching the substrate surface [99],... 

In our opinion, the interesting photoresponses described by Dvorak et al. were incorrectly interpreted by the spurious definition of the photoinduced charge transfer impedance [157]. Formally, the impedance under illumination is determined by the AC admittance under constant illumination associated with a sinusoidal potential perturbation, i.e., under short-circuit conditions. From a simple phenomenological model, the dynamics of photoinduced charge transfer affect the charge distribution across the interface, thus according to the frequency of potential perturbation, the time constants associated with the various rate constants can be obtained [156,159-163]. It can be concluded from the magnitude of the photoeffects observed in the systems studied by Dvorak et al., that the impedance of the system is mostly determined by the time constant. 

A series of 6-phenylpyrrolo[2,3-fc]pyrazines, initially described as CDK/GSK-3 inhibitors, were also shown to potentiate CFTR (wt, F508del, and G551D) [54]. Compound 10 was shown to potentiate multiple CFTR mutants with submicromolar affinity (140-152 nM on wt-CFTR (calu-3 and CHO cells), 1.5 nM on G551D (CHO cells), and lllnM on F508del-CFTR (temperature corrected CF15 cells)) and to stimulate trans-epithelial ion transport in the proximal colon of mice (wt) under short-circuit conditions with an affinity of 90 nM. 

Blog Entry 1 It s probably not a good idea to set the current limit to infinity (shorting Pin 5 to GND), because the 2679 will not be protected from short-circuit condition. Hence it... 

Each photoelectrode was retested after mounting and current voltage plots obtained. All photoelectrodes decreased in performance and one became essentially inoperative. This is attributed to excessive handling during mounting which resulted in abrasion and deterioration of the deposit. The maximum power output of the individual mounted electrodes in the assembly varied from 5.TO mW to 0.13 mW. The maximum power obtained from the assembled converter was 27 mW. Under short circuit conditions the maximum power at 90.2 mA and 100 mV was 9 0 mW. The light intensity incident at the photocell was 92.5 mW/cm. ... 

Fig. 23. Time dependence of steady-state I-V behaviour (scan rate 100 mV/s) for (a) polymer-coated n-GaAs electrode (area —0.1 cm2) and (b) bare n-GaAs photoanode in contact with the I /I (0.5/0.5 M) redox electrolyte (pH = 5). The illuminated electrode (light intensity 53mW/cm2) was maintained at approximately short-circuit condition (0.3 V vs. SCE) for the duration shown, after which the potential scans were initiated. The initial level of the I-V curve for the bare electrode was dose to that seen at 0 min for the coated sample. The electrolyte was stirred in all cases...
