1 Ring Network Power Supply and Ring Main UnitsWith the advancement of urbanization, the demand for higher reliability in power distribution continues to grow, and an increasing number of users require two or more power supply sources. The traditional "radial power supply" method faces challenges such as difficulties in cable installation, complicated fault detection, and inflexibility in grid upgrades and expansions. In contrast, "ring network power supply" enables dual or multiple power source

Current Power Supply Method Using SF6 Ring Main UnitsTo enhance grid performance, the design of traditional SF6 ring main units (RMUs) has been further optimized. A key feature of second-generation SF6 RMUs is the use of a grounded, enclosed epoxy resin housing, with SF6 gas as the insulating medium. Two three-position load switches and one three-position arc-rotating circuit breaker are integrated into a single sealed unit, equipped with a pressure relief safety valve. In the event of arc-quenc

Magnetizing inrush current in electric arc furnace transformers is a problem that troubles many electrical engineers. So, why does magnetizing inrush current occur in arc furnace transformers? First, let's understand what magnetizing inrush current is.Magnetizing inrush current refers to the transient current generated in the secondary winding of an arc furnace transformer due to core saturation, increased magnetic field strength, and other factors. This phenomenon is very common during the oper

An electric arc furnace is a device that melts metal using the high temperature generated by an electric arc. It converts electrical energy into thermal energy through a transformer, then transfers the heat via the arc to the furnace charge, causing it to melt. When the arc furnace starts operating, the transformer load increases suddenly, leading to a drop in grid voltage. Additionally, due to the operational characteristics of the arc furnace, the load continues to rise over a period of time,

1 Overview of Reactive Power Compensation Technology1.1 Role of Reactive Power Compensation TechnologyReactive power compensation technology is one of the widely used techniques in power systems and electrical grids. It is primarily employed to improve power factor, reduce line losses, enhance power quality, and increase the transmission capacity and stability of the grid. This ensures that power equipment operates in a more stable and reliable environment, while also boosting the grid&rsquo

1. Indicators Related to the Utilization Rate of Power Transmission TransformersThe utilization rate of power transmission transformers needs to consider both the cost of transmitting and distributing electrical energy and the utilization efficiency of the equipment itself. The core indicators mainly include three dimensions: load rate, load factor, and equipment life rate.1.1 Load RateIt refers to the ratio of the actual load at the moment of maximum load to the rated capacity of the transforme

1. Current Status and Shortcomings of Online MonitorsCurrently, online monitors are the most commonly used tools for surge arrester monitoring. While they can detect potential defects, they have significant limitations: manual on - site data recording is required, precluding real - time monitoring; and post - collection data analysis adds to operational complexity. IoT - based intelligent monitoring overcomes these issues—collected data is uploaded via the IoT to processing platforms,
