A platform implemented with Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs) developed for real time studies of the dynamic behavior of the air-gapped current transformers (CTs) used in power grid protection and measurement systems is presented. The implemented algorithms simulate the fault current in an electric power system as well as the transient response of the current transformer. It is also presented a...

The key idea of current deep learning methods for dense prediction is to apply a model on a regular patch centered on each pixel to make pixel-wise predictions. These methods are limited in the sense that the patches are determined by network architecture instead of learned from data. In this work, we propose the dense transformer networks, which can learn the shapes and sizes of patches from d...

The squared-field-derivative method for calculating eddy-current (proximity-effect) losses in round-wire or litz-wire transformer and inductor windings is derived. The method is capable of analyzing losses due to two-dimensional and three-dimensional field effects in multiple windings with arbitrary waveforms in each winding. It uses a simple set of numerical magnetostatic field calculations, w...

A new passive 28-step current shaper for three-phase rectification is proposed in this paper. With a phase-shifting transformer on the ac side and six interphase transformers on the dc side, per-phase input current can be shaped into a 28-step sinusoidal waveform. The total harmonic distortion of ac input currents obtained is 6.54%, lower than one-half of that in a conventional 12-pulse convert...

Three-phase synchronous motors are widely used in the industrial motor driven systems. Variable frequency drives (VFDs) which allow soft-start of motors produce PWM voltage. Numerical relays are used in the protection schemes of these high voltage motors. The location of current transformer (CT) is an important criterion in the protection circuit. Impact of harmonics and the location of current...

One of the most critical components in a step-up design like Figure 1 is the transformer. Transformers have parasitic components that can cause them to deviate from their ideal characteristics, and the parasitic capacitance associated with the secondary can cause large resonating current spikes on the leading edge of the switch current waveform. These spikes can cause the regulator to exhibit e...
