The essence of the process of electric arc spraying, consists in melting the electrodes with an electric arc and continuous separation of the liquid metal formed at the ends of the electrodes, a stream of compressed air and dispersing it on the sprayed surfaceTo use the periodic removal of pulsating air flow of liquid metal from the ends of the electrodes, it is important to solve the problem of guaranteeing the exclusion of short circuits of electrodes in the complete absence of spray flow and constant continuous supply of electrodes to the combustion zone of the arc. short circuit and when the spray flow is turned on after a pause will ensure the separation and transportation of liquid metal from the ends of the electrodes on the sprayed surface.It is important to determine the optimal mass of liquid metal and the time of formation of a drop of liquid metal depending on the technological parameters of the sprayed electrodes and the energy level of the arc that melts the electrodes.Studies of the determining factors of this process, namely the parameters of the electric arc mode, diameter, material and feed rate of the electrodes are presented.

Most failures in electrical installations are caused by short circuits (short circuits), which occur as a result of a failure in the electrical strength of the insulation of the conductive parts. A short circuit is an electrical connection of two points of an electric circuit with different values of potential, which is not provided by the design of the device, which interferes with its normal operation. Short circuits may result from a failure of the insulation of the current-carrying elements or the mechanical contact of the non- insulated elements. Also called a short circuit is a condition where the load resistance is less than the internal resistance of the power source. The reasons for such violations are various: aging of insulation, breakages of wires of overhead transmission lines, mechanical damages of isolation of cable lines at ground works, lightning strikes in the transmission line and others. Most often, short-circuits occur through transient resistance, such as through the resistance of an electric arc that occurs at the point of damage to the insulation. Sometimes there are metallic short circuits in which the resistance of the electric arc is very small. The study of short circuits in the power grid is a major step in the design of modern electrical networks. The research is conducted using computer software, first by modeling the system and then simulating errors. A malfunction usually leads to an increase in the current flowing in the lines, and failure to provide reliable protection can result in damage to the power unit. Thus, short-circuit calculations are the primary consideration when designing, upgrading, or expanding a power system. The three-phase short circuit is the least likely. However, in many cases, the three-phase short circuit is associated with the most severe consequences, as it causes the highest power imbalances on the shafts of the generators. The study of transients begins with the mode of three-phase closure due to its relative simplicity in comparison with other types of asymmetry. In most cases, the analysis and calculation of the transient regime of the electrical system involves the preparation of a calculated scheme of substitution, in which the parameters of its elements are determined in named or relative units. The electrical substitution circuitry is used to further study the transients in the power system. The definition of electrical and electromagnetic quantities in relative units is widely used in the theory of electric machines. This is because it significantly simplifies the theoretical calculations and gives the results a generalized view in the practical calculations of currents and residual voltages at the short circuit. By the relative value of any value is understood as its relation to another value of the same name, taken as the base. So, before presenting any quantities in relative units, we need to choose the basic units. In the electrical system with increased voltages, the overall load capacity of the network increases, which in turn makes it possible to supply high-quality electrical energy over a greater distance. In the process of comparing the type of transmission lines, it should be noted that the advantages of the cable transmission line. According to the results of the calculation of short-circuit currents, it can be concluded that in networks with a larger line cross-section and a higher voltage, the short-circuit currents are larger. Thus, during the transition of the electric networks to the higher voltage class of 20 kV, the currents of the KZ increased by 43% compared to the 6 kV electric network. This analysis shows that the importance of reliable power supply in the power supply system for high voltage classes must be high and have equipment to prevent emergencies. In the future, it is planned to develop a systematic calculation of short-circuit currents for a number of transmission lines and to conduct mathematical modeling in the system of applications for the study of transient processes at short circuits.

Arc spraying (AS) is a thermal spraying method. The spraying distance represents one of the main technological parameters. EDAX analysis, performed on the sprayed layers (SDA and SDS), have shown differences between the initial chemical composition of the filler material and of the obtained layers. The quantitative variations determined for Ni, Fe and Cr can be explained by: the volatilization process of the chemical elements from the electric arc area; losses increase with increasing the length of the spraying jet.

The porosity, microhardness of the phases in the coating and its bond strength were determined. Originality. For the first time, composite cermet electric arc coatings of the steel 65G-TiC system were obtained by using a powder of strengthening phase in a free state. Their microstructure, microhardness and bond strength were investigated. The technological spraying modes of electric arc coatings have been established, which provide the optimal content of the strengthening phase to achieve their maximum bond strength with substrate. Practical value. The application of the research results obtained in the work, namely, the determination of the optimal technological parameters of spraying for the formation of cermet electric arc coatings with the maximum level of physical, mechanical and operational properties, makes it possible to meet the requirements for the restoration and hardening of worn surfaces. This leads to an increase in the service life of parts not only in mining, but also in other industries.

This paper shows that successful switching of extremely high short-circuit currents I> 50 kA can be achieved by joint operation of a liquid-metal self-resetting current limiter and a circuit breaker connected in series. The type NFU-225 device from Mitsubishi was taken as an example. The time-current characteristic of joint operation of a liquid-metal self-resetting current-limiting device and a circuit breaker was compiled. However, further in the article physical processes occurring in a liquid-metal self-resetting current limiter with a complete transformation of fusible unit are considered. The result of work is modelling of operation of liquid-metal fuses when overcurrents are switched off based on the pilot studies obtained by the Japanese scientists. It is proposed to simulate the break process not at every time moment, but at specific time moments (reference points). At other time moments, current and voltage should be considered as approximately linearly changing characteristics. The work of current limiter can be represented by three stages: the pre-arc, the main arc and the final arc. If the current density is less than 1000 A/mm2, then the pre-arc operation stage of the current limiter includes the following sections for heating the fusible unit: primary heating to the melting temperature; melting and its transition to liquid state; secondary heating to evaporation temperature; evaporation of fusible unit.

Protecting inverter-interfaced microgrids is challenging as conventional time-overcurrent protection becomes unusable due to the lack of fault current. There is a great need for novel protective relaying methods that enable the application of protection coordination on microgrids, thereby allowing for microgrids with larger areas and numbers of loads while not compromising reliable power delivery. Tools for modeling and analyzing such microgrids under fault conditions are necessary in order to help design such protective relaying and operate microgrids in a configuration that can be protected, though there is currently a lack of tools applicable to inverter-interfaced microgrids. This paper introduces the concept of applying an optimization problem formulation to the topic of inverter-interfaced microgrid fault modeling, and discusses how it can be employed both for simulating short-circuits and as a set of constraints for optimal microgrid operation to ensure protective device coordination.

A variety of electrical apparatus used in daily life can cause fires because of internal or external factors. During cause identification of an electrical fire, the first short circuit melted marks of copper wire have been considered highly important because they are direct proofs. Additionally, overloaded short circuit caused by the overload of current due to excessive electrical usage can give rise to an electrical fire. Despite extensive research on the first short circuit in fire scenes, the overloaded short circuit remains difficult to be distinguished because of the limitation of commonly used testing methods. Conventional metallographic method is intuitionistic and simple, but may not provide detailed data of crystals such as misorientation of grains. Here a new method (electron backscattered diffraction, EBSD) is applied for identification of the first and overloaded short-circuited melted marks of copper wires in electrical fire scenes. Results show obvious morphological distinctions in melted marks of copper wires between the first and overloaded short circuits. Qualitative and Quantitative differences obtained from the contrast of the above two short circuit situations may assist for cause identification of electrical fires in the future.

Influence of the process parameters and geometry of the spraying nozzle on the properties of titanium deposits obtained in wire arc spraying. Wire arc spraying is a process in which through minor modifications of the spray parameters, they can have a major impact on the coatings properties. In this paper there is presented a study on the influence of process parameters and fluid dynamics of the atomization gas on the properties of titanium deposits (14T - 99.9% Ti). For this there were used three different frontal spraying nozzles, having different geometries, and were varied the spraying gas pressure and the electrical current on three levels. There were evaluated the particles velocity, coating density, chemical composition and characteristic interface between deposition and substrate. Obviously, the high speed of the atomization gas determinate the improving of all properties, but in the same time increased the oxide content in the layer. However, the oxidation can be drastically reduced if the melting and atomization of the wire droplets is produced at the point of formation of the electric arc, and the spraying jet is designed to constrain the electric arc. The assessment of deposits adherence allowed the observation of process parameters that contribute to its improvement.

The overrun of transient power quality index caused by the large-capacity electric arc furnace (EAF) has become a prominent problem affecting the safe and stable operation of the power system. (1) In this paper, the relationship between arc furnace volt-age and current is derived based on the different stages of arc combustion, and the random variation of chaotic phenomenon of the arc voltage are simulated. Established an EAF model suitable for the study of transient power quality problems. (2) Take 50t AC EAF as an example to analyze the reactive power impact and the influence on the point of common coupling (PCC) voltage caused by the three-phase short circuit of the electrode. The results show that the experimental results are consistent with the theoretical analysis, verifying the correctness and effectiveness of the model. (3) When the three-phase short-circuit occurs, the reactive power impact is nearly 6 times that of normal operation, the short-circuit current is 2.66 times that of normal operation, and the effective value of the PCC voltage has dropped by 40.37%, which provides a theoretical basis for real-time compensation of impulsive reactive power and improvement of the transient power quality of the EAF.

This paper investigates the impact of parameter variation between parallel connected SiC MOSFETs on short circuit (SC) performance. SC tests are performed on parallel connected devices with different switching rates, junction temperatures and threshold voltages (VTH). The results show that VTH variation is the most critical factor affecting reduced robustness of parallel devices under SC. The SC current conducted per device is shown to increase under parallel connection compared to single device measurements. VTH shift from bias–temperature–instability (BTI) is known to occur in SiC MOSFETs, hence this paper combines BTI and SC tests. The results show that a positive VGS stress on the gate before the SC measurement reduces the peak SC current by a magnitude that is proportional to VGS stress time. Repeating the measurements at elevated temperatures reduces the time dependency of the VTH shift, thereby indicating thermal acceleration of negative charge trapping. VTH recovery is also observed using SC measurements. Similar measurements are performed on Si IGBTs with no observable impact of VGS stress on SC measurements. In conclusion, a test methodology for investigating the impact of BTI on SC characteristics is presented along with key results showing the electrothermal dynamics of parallel devices under SC conditions.

The article considers the results of the analysis of autotransformers operation mode monitoring. The time diagram of active load current and oil temperature of autotransformer TashTES AT-3 is established and during one year changes of these variables and basic parameters of autotransformer were observed. Technical faults of the power transformer and high power autotransformer are established and methods of their elimination are determined. Damage of transformers and autotransformers with voltage of 110-500 kV of about 30% of the total number of outages which were accompanied by internal short-circuits and two main causes of damage were determined. The main causes of technological failures, which were not accompanied by internal short-circuits, are as follows: 20% of failures in operation of the onload tap-changer, 16% of oil leaks from the bushings, 13% of oil leaks and lowering of oil from the transformer due to violation of welded joints and rubber seals, 4% of engine damage to oil pumps of the cooling system, 3% of pressure increase in high-voltage hermetic bushings, 2% of film protection shell damage. The main reasons of technological violations accompanied by internal short-circuit in the transformer are as follows: breakdown of internal insulation of highvoltage bushings, insufficient short-circuit resistance, wear and tear of winding insulation, breakdown of insulation.
