Results of theoretical analysis, verified by miniature-system tests of the power limits of transmission systems, are discussed, among the major conclusions being the following: The criterion for stability under all conditions is the steady-state power limit. The charging kv-a. exercises marked detrimental effects on stability. The characteristics of synchronous terminal apparatus are of great impo... View full abstract»

• ### Steady-State Stability in Transmission Systems Calculation by Means of Equivalent Circuits or Circle Diagrams

Publication Year: 1926, Page(s):22 - 41

| | PDF (3417 KB)

The maximum load on a proposed transmission system must be within the steady-state power limit of the system for stability of operation. Two methods of calculating steady-state stability are given in detail and illustrated by examples. (1) The given transmission system is replaced by a simple equivalent system; then the steady-state power limit of this equivalent system is determined graphically. ... View full abstract»

| | PDF (3343 KB)

During the past few years there has been much discussion regarding the behavior of long transmission lines under transient conditions, such as flashovers, short circuits, arcs and grounds which would tend to make them unstable, but unfortunately this discussion has been largely theoretical due to the absence of any actual operating data upon which to base assumptions. It has only been recently tha... View full abstract»

| | PDF (10663 KB)

Stability may be defined as the capacity of a power system to remain in equilibrium under steady load conditions, and its ability to regain a state of equilibrium after a disturbance has taken place. The lack of stability first manifested itself in the cases of overloaded machines and high impedance tie lines. The transmission of large blocks of power over long distances has presented the problem ... View full abstract»

• ### Transmission Systems with Over-Compounded Voltages

Publication Year: 1926, Page(s):95 - 101
| | PDF (1441 KB)

A usual method of calculating a transmission line with transformers, in which the voltage is held constant at both ends by synchronous condensers, is to use the circle diagram method. It is often advisable to use over-compounded'' voltage instead of constant voltage; that is, to increase the voltage as the load increases. Methods of calculation are given in this paper for two cases, first with o... View full abstract»

| | PDF (3768 KB)

Most solid dielectrics are imperfect in the sense that when a constant d-c. voltage is suddenly applied, a displacement of electricity first takes place almost instantly to a certain value, and then continues to increase asymptotically towards an ultimate magnitude. Accordingly, an initial electric charge and a greater final charge may be distinguished, with the corresponding values of initial and... View full abstract»

At the A. I. E. E. Spring Convention, Pittsburg, April 24-26, 1923, a paper was presented by the authors on the operation of a Petersen earth coil installed by the Alabama Power Company on its Lock 12-Vida 44,000-volt system. That paper reported an excellent performance record for the coil, although several unaccounted-for bus insulator flashovers occurred at Lock 12, indicating that further inves... View full abstract»

In a previous paper, tests were described which proved conclusively that if conducting material were lodged between the turns of a reactor having bare conductor, the reactor would flash-over at the instant a failure occurred on the circuit in which the reactor was placed. In this paper, tests are described which were made during the development of a proper insulation for the conductor of reactors.... View full abstract»

Experimental investigations were made for the determination of the temperature rise and the losses occurring in structural steel members exposed to the fields from a-c. conductors. The worlz originated fromn the demand among the designing engineers of an electrical manufacturing company for practical data which would enable them to estimate, at least roughly, the temperature rise and the heat loss...

Up to the present time it has seldom been necessary to design busses for carrying capacity above 2000 or 3000 amperes. Within the last few years we have passed this mark, and we shall soon be required to design busses for very much larger capacities. For simple geometrical designs there are formulas from which we may calculate the capacities of large busses. These simple designs cannot be easily m... View full abstract»

| | PDF (1904 KB)

One of the factors which is sometimes responsible for very considerable losses in rotating machines is that of eddy-current losses in the copper conductors resulting from slot leakage flux produced by the main flux. These losses occur at no-load as well as under load and should not be confused with the copper losses resulting from the slot leakage flux produced by the load current. These no-load c...

A general equation is developed for the mechanical force exerted by a system of n electric circuits, upon any part of that system. The electric circuits are assumed to contain resistances, and the reluctance of the several magnetic circuits is assumed to be a function of both the currents and the relative positions of the circuits. The equation is therefore applicable to circuits involving saturat... View full abstract»
