Modularization of High - Voltage SwitchgearDue to the miniaturization measures taken for each component and part, as well as the overall miniaturized layout, the size of high - voltage switchgear has been continuously decreasing. There is a wide variety of switchgear combinations, with flexible combination methods and very compact structures. Gas - insulated metal - enclosed switchgear (GIS) encompasses most high - voltage electrical appliances and protective detecting devices, integrating the f

The Torque - Speed Characteristic is a curve that plots the relationship between the torque and the speed of an induction motor. In the topic "Torque Equation of an Induction Motor", we've already delved into the torque of the induction motor. The torque equation is presented as follows:At the maximum torque, the speed of the rotor is expressed by the equation shown below:The curve below shows theTorque Speed Characteristic:The magnitude of the maximum torque is independent of rotor resistance.

Gas - insulated metal - enclosed switchgear (GIS) is a switching device composed of switching appliances such as circuit breakers (GCB), disconnectors (DS), earthing switches (ES), as well as units like voltage transformers, current transformers, surge arresters, and enclosed busbars. High - potential components are all placed inside a grounded enclosed metal shell, which is filled with SF₆ gas with excellent insulating and arc - extinguishing properties as the insulating medium. GIS features a

Analysis of GIS Equipment Installation ProcessPre - installation Preparations for GIS EquipmentFirst, use a crane to lift the equipment to the entrance. Then, insert a crowbar into the groove of the channel steel to move the equipment along the channel steel into the room. It can be received by a roller or a forklift for transfer. Before the equipment installation after the transfer is completed, sufficient preliminary preparations are required. Firstly, the equipment needs to be comprehensively

1. Local Quick Operation Procedure (On-site Panel)Step 1: Open the Control CabinetUse the standard cabinet key to unlock the controller and open the door.Step 2: Power Check and System Status Ensure the controller is powered (battery level is sufficient or external AC/DC is connected). Observe the LED indicators or HMI screen: Breaker status (Open/Closed) Fault or Lockout indicators Communication and battery indicators Step 3: Manually Open or Close the Recloser To open (trip) the circuit: p

Why do we need a grid with self-healing capabilities?--Recloser controller with 4G/5G communication as the cornerstone at its coreDriven by both energy transformation and digitalisation, the power grid is evolving from a traditional one-way power supply model to an intelligent, self-healing one. The recloser controller based on 4G/5G communication technology has become the core equipment for building a self-healing power grid by virtue of its ‘sensing-transmission-processing-decision-e

Importance of Long - distance Loop Resistance Testing for GISInspecting the Installation Quality of Electrical Equipment and the Integrity of the LoopIn the handover tests of GIS, loop resistance testing plays a crucial role. This test is not only a key step in evaluating the installation quality of electrical equipment but also an important means to ensure the integrity and safety of the entire loop. Through precise testing and analysis, potential problems can be promptly identified and resolve

The blocked - rotor test of an induction motor is analogous to the short - circuit test of a transformer. In this test, the motor's shaft is immobilized to prevent any rotation, and the rotor winding is short - circuited. For a slip - ring motor, the rotor winding is short - circuited via the slip rings. In the case of cage motors, the rotor bars are inherently short - circuited. This test is also referred to as the Locked Rotor Test. The circuit diagram for the blocked - rotor test is presented

The 500 kV GIS system of Lianghekou Hydropower Station is composed of circuit breakers, disconnectors, earthing switches, bus - pipes, current transformers (CTs), potential transformers (PTs), arresters, etc. It has a total of 12 circuit - breaker bays, adopting an indoor structure and a "Z" - shaped layout, with 6 incoming lines and 2 outgoing lines, and using 4/3 and 3/2 wiring schemes. To meet the access of the Kela Photovoltaic project in the first - phase hydro - photovoltaic complementary

CIS (Gas Insulated Switchgear) refers to a gas - insulated enclosed switchgear assembly. A busbar is a common pathway to which multiple devices are connected in parallel. In a CIS, the internal space of the busbar is relatively small, yet it operates under high voltage and current. Local discharge, if it occurs, can severely affect the inter - phase insulation and pose a significant threat to the safe and stable operation of the equipment. This article presents an analysis and solution of a loca
