What are the difficulties in overhead line operation and maintenance?Difficulty one:Overhead lines of distribution network have wide coverage,complicatedterrain,many radiation branches and distributed power supply,resultingin "many line faults and difficulty in fault troubleshooting".Difficulty Two:Manual troubleshooting is time-consuming and laborious.Meanwhile,therunning current,voltage and switching state of the line cannot be graspedin real time,because of the lack of intelligent technical m

A frequency converter is a device used to adjust the speed and voltage of an electric motor by changing the motor's supply frequency to achieve speed control. However, during operation, frequency converters generate some interference that can negatively impact other electronic equipment and the power grid. Therefore, it's necessary to adopt solutions to mitigate this interference.​Electromagnetic Interference (EMI):​​ When adjusting the motor's supply frequency, frequency converters generate hig

Overcurrent Fault​Overcurrent is one of the most frequent faults encountered during inverter operation. To better protect the inverter, multi-level protection against overcurrent is generally implemented. Based on the severity of the overcurrent, it can be categorized into the following situations: power module overcurrent, hardware overcurrent, and software overcurrent. Typically, power module overcurrent is the highest-level fault. The hardware overcurrent threshold is significantly lower than

A Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) is a common electrical device used to regulate the speed and voltage of motors. However, we sometimes encounter the problem of frequent tripping of the VFD. This not only disrupts the normal operation of equipment but can also lead to production line shutdowns, causing unnecessary losses for the enterprise. So, how should we solve this problem?First, we need to understand the reasons behind frequent VFD tripping. Frequent tripping is usually caused by the followi

Application of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) Variable Frequency Speed Control in the Chemical Fiber and Glass Industries​In the 19th century, permanent magnets were used to create electric motors. Today, with the rapid advancement of electronic technology, Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSMs) and frequency converters together form open-loop, high-speed, high-precision variable frequency speed control systems.

1 Introduction​Wind energy is a renewable energy source with significant development potential. In recent years, wind power technology has garnered extensive attention from scholars worldwide. As a key direction for wind power development, variable-speed constant-frequency (VSCF) technology employs the doubly-fed wind power system as an optimized solution. In this system, the generator’s stator windings connect directly to the grid, while VSCF control is achieved by regulating the frequenc

Preparation Before Repair​​Safety Measures​Power off the VFD and verify capacitor discharge is complete (use a multimeter to check DC bus voltage is below 36V).Wear insulated gloves and safety goggles to prevent electric shock or component explosion.​Tool Preparation​Multimeter, oscilloscope, LCR meter (bridge meter), insulation tester, screwdrivers, soldering station, etc.​Fault Diagnosis​Check the fault code on the VFD display (e.g., Overcurrent (OC), Overvoltage (OV), Overheating (OH)).Recor

0 Introduction​With the development of power systems and increasing load demands, the integration of large-capacity generating units and substation equipment—particularly the emergence of large power plants in load centers and the interconnection of large power systems—has inevitably led to a continuous rise in short-circuit current levels. Without effective limitation measures, this trend would not only significantly increase the equipment investment for new substations but also sev

Application Challenge: Bottlenecks of Traditional Short-Circuit Protection Schemes​In modern power grids, particularly in substations of power plants and large industrial parks, the parallel operation of multiple transformers or generators is widely adopted to enhance power supply reliability and energy efficiency. However, this leads to a sharp increase in system short-circuit current levels, often exceeding the rated withstand capacity (e.g., dynamic/thermal withstand current) of existing equ

Introduction: Research Background and Significance​With the rapid economic development in Southeast Asia, power grid scales continue to expand, and loads keep increasing. This has led to system short-circuit currents approaching or even exceeding circuit breaker interrupting capacity limits, seriously threatening the safety and stability of power grid operations. Meanwhile, EHV transmission lines serve as the backbone for regional power interconnections. Over 70% of faults are single-phase grou

Introduction​The Fault Current Limiter (FCL) is a critical protection device in modern power systems. It is designed to rapidly limit fault currents during system failures such as short circuits, thereby protecting key equipment in the grid from damage and ensuring stable system operation. However, during actual operation, the current limiter itself may also fail due to various reasons. To ensure its reliability, systematic prevention and maintenance strategies must be developed for common faul
