Generally, cycle life testing will generate a lot of data, which can obtain a lot of information. What analysis and processing can we do with these cycle data? The following summarizes some of the data processing, continuation from last week’s article. 1. Constant voltage charging current and time Lithium-ion batteries are usually discharged at different currents during use, and often cannot under...

The relationship between line current and phase current is as follows For a star connected motor, the phase current is equal to the line current. For motors with triangular connections, the line current is equal to √ 3 times the phase current, and the line current lags behind the phase current by 30 °. Phase current refers to the current flowing through each phase load in a three-phase power suppl...

What does harmonic current mean Harmonic current is a collective term for the sinusoidal components whose frequency is an integer multiple of the original periodic current frequency. A harmonic current with a frequency equal to k times the frequency of the original periodic current is called a k-th harmonic current, and all harmonic currents with a frequency greater than 1 are collectively referre...

The fundamental cause of harmonic generation is due to nonlinear loads. When the current flows through the load and does not have a linear relationship with the applied voltage, it forms a non sinusoidal current, resulting in harmonics. The suppression of harmonics in the power system is to reduce or eliminate the harmonic current injected into the system, in order to control the harmonic voltage ...

The advantages of constant voltage and current power supply include flexibility, stability, protection function, adjustability, and high efficiency, while the disadvantages mainly include high cost, large volume, thermal management requirements, and response time. 1. Advantages: a. Flexibility: A constant voltage and current power supply can provide stable current or voltage output as needed, suit...

1. Definition of harmonics In the AC power grid, due to the operation of many nonlinear electrical equipment, the voltage and current waveforms are actually not complete sine waveforms, but non-sine waves with different degrees of distortion. Harmonic refers to the amount of electricity contained in the current whose frequency is an integer multiple of the fundamental wave, and generally refers to...

1. Nonlinear characteristics   The diodes, thyristors and other power electronic devices in rectifier equipment have nonlinear voltammetry characteristics. Take the diode as an example, when the input AC voltage is in positive half circle, the diode is positive and the current can pass through; At the negative half cycle, the diode is reversed off and the current is almost zero. This characte...

Each operating device in a high-voltage substation serves a vital role. Their shapes and sizes vary depending on their location and purpose, but together they ensure safe, stable, and efficient operation of the entire installation. 1. Switchgear: The Functional Core of a Substation Switchgear consists of various components like circuit breakers, disconnectors, earthing switches, and instrument tra...

With the increasing use of nonlinear loads such as variable frequency drives, rectifiers, and other power electronic devices, power grid harmonics have become a common problem in low-voltage electrical systems. Low-voltage active power filters (APFs) play a key role in detecting and mitigating harmonic distortion to improve power quality. Here’s how APFs work to actively compensate for harmonics i...

As modern power systems rely more on nonlinear loads, Total Harmonic Distortion in Current (THDi) has become a critical factor in ensuring power quality and equipment longevity. In this article, we explore what THDi is, its causes, its impacts on equipment, and how to mitigate it using advanced harmonic filtering techniques. 1. What is THDi? THDi stands for Total Harmonic Current Distortion. It is...
