Fig. 1.3. Causes of voltage dips
The main distinction of an active voltage regulator (AVR) from an unin­terruptible power supply (UPS) is that the missing energy in the AVR is taken from the power supply system, and in the UPS from batteries. This explains the fact that AVRs are cheaper in cost than UPSs, since the cost of purchasing batteries is not required. The AVR compensates for any voltage dips at half­cycle speed. In the UPS, great attention should be paid to the condition of the batteries. As there is no energy storage in the AVR, there is no need to in­spect it often. But in case of a complete disconnection of energy from con­sumers, only the UPS can support the power.
We can conclude that voltage dips in electrical networks pose a danger to consumers operation. The enterprises must be equipped with the protection against voltage dips. It depends on the nature of production and its techno­logical process.
Voltage dips usually occur due to malfunctions in electrical networks or in electrical installations of consumers, as well as when connecting a power­ful load. The voltage dip is usually associated with the occurrence and termi­nation of a short circuit or a sharp current increase in a network or electrical installation connected to an electrical network. In accordance with the re­quirements of the standard GOST 32144-2013, the voltage dip is considered as an electromagnetic interference, the intensity of which is determined by
11
both voltage and duration. The duration of the voltage dip can be up to 1 min. In three-phase power supply systems, the moment when the voltage drops at least in one of the phases falls below the threshold value of the beginning of the voltage dip is taken as the beginning of the voltage dip. The moment when the voltage in all phases rises above the threshold value of the termination is taken to be the end of the voltage dip.
Overvoltage. Overvoltage is usually caused by switching and disconnect­ing power loads. Overvoltage can occur between phase conductors or be­tween phase and protective conductors. Depending on the grounding device, short circuits to earth can also lead to overvoltage between phase and neutral conductors. In accordance with the requirements of this standard, overvoltage is considered as electromagnetic interference, the intensity of which is deter­mined by both voltage and duration. Overvoltage duration can be up to1min.
1.2. Definition and assessment of voltage dips and overvoltage
Both phenomena – voltage dips and overvoltage – are unpredictable and largely random. The frequency of their occurrence depends on the type of a power supply system, an observation point, a season.
Fig. 1.4. Voltage dip
The voltage dip (Fig. 1.4) is characterized by the duration of the voltage dip, for which the following norm is established – the maximum allowable

A voltage dip is a sudden and significant decrease in voltage (less than 90%

The causes of voltage dips are triggering of protective equipment and au­tomation when the lightning overvoltage, short-circuit currents are discon­nected, as well as during false protection trips or as a result of erroneous ac­tions of operational personnel.
1.3. Calculation of voltage interruptions
Standard 32144-2013 does not standardize the voltage drop, it limits its duration to 30 s. To tell the truth, the phenomena lasting more than 30 s prac­tically do not happen – the voltage of an automatically eliminated voltage dip at any point of connection to electric networks is determined by the time delay of relay protection and automation.

Voltage dips and interruptions are measured in accordance with Standard
30804.4.30 based on rms voltage values updated for each half-cycle. The pa­rameters of voltage dips, interruptions, which are the objects of consideration in this standard, are the residual voltage and duration. In low voltage electrical networks, four-wire three-phase systems, phase voltages are taken into ac­count; in three-wire three-phase systems, linear voltages are taken into ac­count; in the case of a single-phase connection, the supply voltage (phase or linear according to the consumer connection) is taken into account. The threshold value of the onset of the voltage dip is taken equal to 90% of the reference voltage. The threshold value of the beginning of the voltage inter­ruption is taken to be 5% of the reference voltage.

Note : While measuring in multiphase systems, it is recommended to de­termine and record the number of phases affected by each event. For electrical networks of three-phase systems, multi-phase data reduction should be used, which consists of determining an equivalent event, characterized by one du­ration and one residual voltage.

2. TEMPORARY OVERVOLTAGE
Temporary overvoltage is the excess of the amplitude values of the volt­age by more than 10% of the nominal equal
2 U . Moreover, the duration

On average, up to 30 temporary overvoltages may occur in networks of
0.38 kV with a grounded neutral. If the neutral conductor breaks in these net­works temporary overvoltage between the phase and ground can occur up to the phase-to-phase voltage.
16
Temporary overvoltage is an increase in the electrical network above 1.1 for a duration of more than 10 ms, which occurs in power supply systems during switching or short circuits (Fig. 1.4).
Overvoltage is measured in accordance with Standard 30804.4.30, sub­section 5.4 based on measurements of rms voltage values updated for each half-period. The threshold value of the beginning of the overvoltage is taken to be 110% of the reference voltage. On average, about 30 overvoltages a year can occur at the point of the attachment. When the neutral conductor breaks in three-phase electric networks with voltages up to 1 kV, working with a solidly grounded neutral, temporary overvoltage occurs between phase and ground.
Fig. 1.4. Temporary overvoltage
The level of such overvoltages with significant asymmetry of phase loads can reach the values of linear voltage, and the duration can be several hours. In low voltage systems, under certain circumstances, a malfunction that oc­curs electrically above the transformer can give rise to a temporary overvolt­age on the low voltage side for the time during which the current caused by the malfunction flows. Such overvoltage in the general case do not exceed
1.5 kV. For medium voltage systems, the expected magnitude of such over­voltage depends on the type of grounding in the system. In systems with a rigidly grounded neutral or with a neutral ground through resistance, the over­voltage usually does not exceed 1.7 Us. In the systems with insulated neutral
17
or with neutral ground through the reactor, the overvoltage usually does not exceed 2.0 Us. The type of grounding is indicated by the network operator.
The duration of a temporary overvoltage is the time interval between the initial moment of occurrence of a temporary overvoltage and the moment of its disappearance:
The temporary overvoltage coefficient is also not standardized.
The values of the coefficient of a temporary overvoltage at the points of connection of a general electric network, depending on the duration of tem­porary overvoltage, do not exceed the values given in table 2.4.
When the neutral conductor breaks in three-phase electric networks with voltages up to 1 kV, operating with a solid grounded neutral, temporary over­voltage occurs between the phase and ground. The level of such an overvolt­age with significant asymmetry of phase loads can reach the values of inter­phase voltage, and the duration can reach several hours.
Temporary overvoltages can cause disruptions in the operation of various electrical devices in power supply systems. So, for example, an overvoltage of 1.5 kV for a duration of 3 seconds can cause the lamp to burn out in electric lighting systems. Overvoltages from high-voltage networks in the 380/220 V network can cause a failure or malfunction of various electrical devices.

2.1. Overvoltage during the operation of circuit breakers
The switching process is accompanied by the occurrence and arc blowout in the switch. In vacuum and air circuit breakers, widely used in enterprises, the arc is not stable at low currents. The cessation of discharge in a vacuum leads to a cutoff of the current until it naturally passes through zero. In this case, overvoltage may occur due to current cutoff, multi-rate repeated igni­tions and three-phase simultaneous shutdown. This switching overvoltage leads to a breakdown of the insulation of an electrical device and can cause malfunctions in the central technical
When large currents are switched off (> 100 A), the arc blowout is extin­guished during the natural transition of the current through zero. In this case, dangerous overvoltages do not arise, and the recovering voltage does not ex­ceed the double amplitude of the mains operating voltage.
18
When you turn off the small current (<25 A), current cuts often occur ­an early transition of the current through zero - at any point on the sine wave. Such a case takes place, for example, when the no load operation of the trans­former (or shunt reactor) is turned off: the idle current of the transformer is within units or tens of amperes, the capacity of the transformer is very small,
and its dissipation inductance is quite large:

Similarly, processes occur when the BC is turned off.

Gas-insulated circuit-breaker ............................. 0,08–0,3 0,03–0,075
Vacuum circuit-breaker...................................... 0,08–0,3 0,05–0,075
From the above data it is seen that the switching time of air, gas and vac­uum circuit breakers is significantly less than oil ones. Due to this , switching is accompanied by the appearance of voltage and current pulses having a steep, almost plumb front.
The occurrence of a switching overvoltage in enterprise networks is as­sociated with operational and emergency switching of individual network el­ements.
Switching off of inductive loads that is unloaded transformers, reactors, electric motors leads to the overvoltage on them, as well as on the switch and cable line between them. The nature of these overvoltages lies in the transi­tion of the (Li2 / 2) electromagnetic energy stored in the inductors into the (CU2 / 2) electrical energy. Moreover, the overvoltage usually does not ex-

In enterprises, a significant part of the load is made up of high-voltage motors.
The shutdown of the electric motors is accompanied by the overvoltage caused by the disconnection of the starting current (similar to the shutdown of the magnetizing currents of transformers and reactors).

2.3. Overvoltage during switching filter-compensating device (FCD)
To reduce the coefficient of non-sinusoidality in the power supply net­works of enterprises are widely used resonant filters of higher harmonics. During the switching of these FCDs, overvoltage may occur.
The equivalent circuit for the calculation of transients is shown in Fig. 2.5.
