    wide-range Voltage Controlled Resistor--for use as variable load

    In essence I’m trying to get the functionality of a DC-DC converter or simplified MPP circuit, but on a very small scale. The frequency is essentially DC. I’m looking to switch the load in milliseconds at worst. One-side grounded would work. I've done a lot of reading/searching. A...

    wide-range Voltage Controlled Resistor--for use as variable load

    My apologies for not defining the boundaries more clearly. The numbers cited were meant to indicate the approximate upper limits, and they don’t occur simultaneously. I’ll research the suggestons further. Thanks for the thoughts.

    wide-range Voltage Controlled Resistor--for use as variable load

    I'm trying to find something that would work as a voltage-controllable resistive load. I thought something simple might be available--where a DC control voltage could be used to yield a range of resistance values. Here are the basics: Resistance: span ~ 200-20,000 ohms. Sink capability: DC...

    What if transformer T-model R values are the wrong temperature?

    I understand how to translate positive sequence resistance values if they show up at a non-standard temperature on the test report. But what if this happens with the provided zero sequence T-model test data? Section 9.5.3 of IEEE Std C57.12.90-2006 references Z1, Z2, and Z3 as "Constants" in...

    Zero-Sequence estimate: use Reactance or Impedance?

    Thx for the reply, dpc... That's not what I meant, 'tho. We do have calculations for the resistance... what I mean is, does the derating of the positive sequence values apply to the X or the Z. That is, should the equations instead be: 2-winding: X0 = X1 x 0.90 3-winding: XHL0 = 0.85 x XHL1...

    Zero-Sequence estimate: use Reactance or Impedance?

    We have formulas that estimate the zero-sequence impedance for CORE transformers based on the positive sequence values as follows: 2-winding: Z0 = Z1 x 0.90 3-winding: ZHL0 = 0.85 x ZHL1 ZHT0 = 0.75 x ZHT1 ZLT0 = 0.90 x ZLT1 Should it be the impedance that is...

    IEEE C62.22-1997 Surge Arrester Application Standard

    Can anyone tell me why the above-mentioned standard goes through the trouble of defining the Protective Level "classification current" types in section 4.3.1, and then changes the terminology in section 5.4 to "coordinating current?" thx, john

    69 kV Surge Arresters for Cap Bank Switching applications

    Thanks for responding... In addition to the science, I guess I was particularly interested in how commonplace the use of arresters for this application might be at 69kV with ungrounded double wye banks. [It's kind of in the middle between typical higher voltage applications with grounded banks...

    69 kV Surge Arresters for Cap Bank Switching applications

    Can someone familiar with electric utility practices tell me whether surge arresters are typically used for Capacitor Bank switching applications--for 69kV ungrounded double "Y" banks? thx, - john

    Shunt Capacitor Bank Modeling: short-circuit/breaker-rating studies

    Do any of you regularly include shunt capacitor banks in your overall system models when performing short-circuit calculations/Breaker rating studies, or do you consider this a dynamic situation that is distinct from this process? - john
