Melbourne is the second most populous city in Australia and has a rail network of superlatives. Sulzer’s service center in Melbourne currently maintains a fleet of more than 2500 traction motors and motor/alternator sets. But Sulzer’s offering goes even beyond electrical repairs and upgrades of rotating machines. When Melbourne needed new impedance bonds for an improvement of its rail ...

Hydrogenation of waste transformer oil (electrical insulating oils) can produce an oil product that is far better in quality and yield in comparison with fixed bed clay adsorption or reaction with sodium metal. This is proven at Sequoia- client’s facility in Midwestern USA. The 5 million gallon/year throughput naphthenic oil hydrotreater produces oil free of PCBs (polychlorobiphenyls ...

To improve the reliability and quality of electric power systems, preventive diagnosis and regular maintenance of high voltage capacitors are required. Dielectric response measurements in both time domain and frequency domain are potential tools for assessing the condition of dielectric of high voltage capacitors. Modern measurements in time domain include polarisation and depolarisation current ...

The cement industry is one of the most intensive energy and cost industries in the world that consumes about 3800 MJ per tonne of cement produced. To achieve an effective energy management scheme, energy and exergy analyses were employed on the pyroprocessing unit of Gaziantep Cement Plant in Turkey. Energy and exergy efficiencies are determined to be 52.2% and 35.9%, respectively. Application of ...

Proper design and installation of electrical equipment minimizes the chance of electrical faults. Faults occur when the insulation system is compromised and current is allowed to flow through an unintentional path. IEEE Std 493 Recommended Practice for the Design of Reliable Industrial and Commercial Power Systems1 publishes data that reports that the vast majority of faults are classified as ...

This paper deals with the simulation of a Distribution Static Compensator (DSTATCOM) for power quality improvement in a four-wire electric distribution system. A three-phase Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT)-based Current-Controlled Voltage Source Inverter (CC-VSI) with a DC bus capacitor is used as a DSTATCOM. The DSTATCOM improves the supply power factor, eliminates harmonics, provides ...
