THEORY OF COMPRESSIVE STRESS IN ALUMINUM OF ACSR (SAG 10 TECHNICAL PAPER)

ACSR Conductor

This is a technical paper made by the people developing the Sag 10, and it is about the compressive stress of the aluminum part of an ACSR.

Consider an ACSR that has been subjected to some initial loading, following whuch the load is reduced. The unloading will follow the final stress-strain curve, and at some point the tension in the aluminum portion will go to zero.

Since the aluminum will have experienced some plastic deformation, while the steel will have experienced little if any, the steel will be under tension while the aluminum goes slack.

What a great web log. I spend hours on the net reading blogs, about tons of various subjects. I have to first of all give praise to whoever created your theme and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an fabulous article. I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only very few posses and honestly you got it. The combining of demonstrative and upper-class content is by all odds super rare with the astronomic amount of blogs on the cyberspace.

POLYMERIC INSULATON OF POWER CABLES BASICS AND TUTORIALS

This type of cable can be classified as follows: 1. NEC compounds 2. Elastomers 3. Thermoplastics 4. Thermosettings The rubber and rubber-like insulated cables enjoy their popularity owing to moisture resistance, ease of handling, ease of splicing, and extreme flexibility. Elastomers are materials that can be compressed, stretched, or deformed like rubber and yet retain their original shape. The thermoplastics materials soften when they are reheated, whereas thermosetting-type insulation has very little tendency to soften upon reheating after vulcanization. The earlier oil-based natural rubber compounds have been replaced by synthetic materials, which have better electrical and mechanical characteristics. The following synthetic rubber-like compounds are in use today: Ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) , an elastomer compound: EPR is commonly used in power cables, but is also gaining use in telecommunications and other types of cables. EPR possesses good chemical,...

SURGE ARRESTER ENERGY HANDLING CAPABILITY FOR TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION LINES APPLICATION TUTORIALS

Image
Photo Courtesy of http://www.classiclightningprotection.com/index.html Metal oxide arresters protect the equipment from high voltage surges by absorbing the energy from the surge. Hence, the energy handling capability (or also called "energy absorption capability" or "energy withstand capability") is an important consideration in the design and application of metal oxide arresters. Most manufacturers publish energy capability values of arresters. However, there are no specified tests either in IEEE/ANSI, or IEC standards. Hence, there is confusion in using these important application parameters. Both IEEE and IEC are contemplating writing standardized tests for the arrester energy handling capability. When metal oxide arresters are energized, valve elements of the arrester will absorb energy which results in a temperature increase of the valve elements. Under normal operating conditions (i.e. absence of overvoltage) there is a balance between the heat...
