Fig. 2.5. An equivalent circuit to calculate the overvoltage
in networks with FCD
Analysis of the transient process in the above diagram allows us to con­clude that when the first FCD is turned on, the maximum overvoltage values on the capacitors and reactors do not exceed the doubled amplitude of the rated mains voltage. The maximum current through the FCD in the transition process exceeds the amplitude of the rated current of the capacitor several times more than the harmonic number to which the FCD is tuned.
When the second FCD is turned on, the overvoltage multiplicities at its inductance and capacitance in the transient mode also practically do not ex­ceed the doubled amplitude of the rated mains voltage, the transient inrush current multiplicity, in comparison with the rated capacitor current, is slightly higher than the harmonic number that is configured.
The intermittent processes in the filter compensating device during sharp fluctuations of the voltage in the network lead to the appearance of quite sig­nificant transient currents in the filters. Short-time overload of FCD by cur­rent can be 50-75%. The voltage on the capacitors reaches the voltage value of the power supply system, which is 5-10% higher than the voltage on the tires. If the voltage margin of the capacitors of the filter compensating device is small, systematic voltage increases on the capacitors can lead to damage. In this regard, from the point of view of the reliability of the FCD operation, voltage fluctuations are preferably limited to ± 3%.
The duration of transient processes in the network with FCD is no more than 0.1 s. The interval between load shocks, as a rule, exceeds 0.1 s. There­fore, we can assume that any disturbance acts on the power supply system in the steady state of the system.

2.4. Ferroresonant overvoltage
The high energy intensity of metallurgical, engineering and other enter­prises determines the presence in the power supply systems of these enter­prises of a significant number of transformer substations, cable lines, current conductors and various power receivers. The complexity of the technological process requires constant changes in the network configuration and its param­eters. Under these conditions, cases of false earth faults, failure of transform­ers and cable lines due to the occurrence of ferro-resonance phenomena are not uncommon. Ferro-resonance phenomena in networks of 6 – 10 kV power supply systems are accompanied by insulation overlap at their inputs, insula­tion breakdowns of transformers, cables and other equipment. Voltage trans­formers are most often susceptible to damage.
Rather often, neutral displacements accompanying ferro-resonance phe­nomena in networks with isolated neutrals lead to false alarms to the ground and to unjustified blackout of consumers.
Ferro-resonance is an oscillatory process caused by the interaction of ca­pacitive resistance with nonlinear inductive resistance.
In power supply systems, these elements are network capacitance and non-linear transformer inductance. All other network elements, as well as its active resistance, do not significantly affect the process under consideration.
Most negative consequences of voltage dips affect the installations of au­tomation, telecommunications, relay protection; they are usually called noise­sensitive elements (NSE); the operation of the NSE under the influence of EMF in some cases leads to a shutdown of the technological process; as a rule, the permissible time for ES breaks for industrial consumers is in the range from 0.1 up to the 0.3 s.
Influence on electric motors of multiphase short circuits. The effect on
electrical device of a single-phase short circuit most often occurring in the network 110 kV was examined above. The following can be said about the effect of multiphase faults - two-phase, three-phase, and two-phase on the ground. When these types of short-circuit occur, the depth of voltage dips is much greater and the behavior of high-voltage electric motors largely de­pends on the setting of protections in the 110 kV network. If the protection of the 110 kV lines is provided in accordance with the instructions of clause
3.2.108 of the Electrical Installation Code, i.e. all damage accompanied by a decrease in the voltage on the bus bars of the power source below 0.65U, are switched off without delay (the duration of the voltage dip is 0.20–0.25 s), then high-voltage synchronous and asynchronous motors, as a rule, remain in
22
operation. This is due to the fact that the protection of the minimum voltage of high-voltage electric motors is performed with a time delay of at least 0.5 s and therefore does not have time to trip. If the protection of 110 kV lines does not have the necessary speed for deep voltage dips, then synchronous motors, as a rule, go out of synchronism and special measures must be taken to resyn­chronize them. As for low-voltage asynchronous electric motors, with deep multiphase voltage dips, regardless of their duration, contactors and starters have time to fall off and the electric motors are switched off.
The damage from sudden voltage dips occurs not only in factories with continuous technological processes. So, in some metal processing operations, in the event of a sudden interruption in the supply of electricity, expensive metalworking tools (for example, cutters) may break if not provided for their automatic removal from the workpiece.

3. VOLTAGE PULSES
3.1. The main definitions and Standards
So, in all electrical networks there may occur overvoltage caused by var­ious reasons. These overvoltage causes two types of negative effects on elec­trical devices. The first is damage to the insulation, the second is when pene­trating through parasitic capacitances into the logical circuits of a digital tech­nical systems or due to electromagnetic interference in conductors, a mal­function, especially a digital technical systems (DTS).
380/220 V networks are heavily “clogged” with voltage pulses that are formed when switching protective and switching devices (various electro­magnetic devices, contactors, relays, etc.). In fig. 3.1 an example is given of an oscillogram of a voltage pulse at the terminals of a PME type contactor that occurs when it is turned off. Since the frequency of the voltage forming this pulse is of the order of 0.5 – 20 MHz, this pulse, propagating through the elements of the 380/220 V network, quickly attenuates due to the natural ca­pacitance and inductance of these elements.
In this figure you can see that when the coil power is turned off, there is a switching overvoltage, which has the form of damped oscillations. The maximum value of the overvoltage reaches hundreds of volts. The specific form and parameters of the voltage pulse depend on many factors: the time of current disruption in the coil of the contactor (determines the magnitude of the discontinuous current), the characteristics of the current cutoff in the coil of the contactor, the resistance of circuit elements, etc. The maximum value of pulse overvoltage occurs when the highest currents (short-circuit) are switched off by devices with current-limiting capabilities, for example, fuses of the PPR type. In this case, an overvoltage pulse arises due to a short-circuit current disconnection in the inductance of the network and reaches a value of up to 2.5–5 kV, which is dangerous for the central heating system.

contactor when it is disconnected
Figure 3.2 (a) shows half-waves of instantaneous voltage values of the network on which there is a voltage pulse (overvoltage), and Fig. 3.2 (b) shows idealized impulse and its characteristic indicators. An important char­acteristic of the equivalent EMF of pulsed interference is the internal re­sistance of this EMF.
According to Standard 32144-2013, pulsed voltage refers to the induced change in voltage, after which the voltage returns to its initial value or ap­proaches it within a few microseconds. There are lightning and switching voltage pulses. The voltage pulse is characterized by the following values:

Fig. 3.2. Impulse Voltage Parameters
Switching impulse voltages occur more often in electric networks and the reason for their appearance is a rapid break in the current, for example, in the inductance of a contactor retractor coil (Fig. 3.3). When the current

The greater the inductance of the network element or electrical equipment in which the current is turned off, the greater the amplitude of the voltage pulse.
The larger the capacitance C is, the smaller this amplitude.
Voltage pulses coming from the electric network to the clamps of power receivers can cause damage or malfunction. The shorter the duration of the leading edge of the voltage pulse, the higher its penetration into the internal circuits of the electrical receivers. The greatest dangerous effects of the switching voltage pulses is on various electronic equipment, especially for digital technical systems (DTS), which without special protection against im­pulse noise from the electric network cannot work for a long time without failures. The main ways to protect against voltage impulses include: the use of surge protection devices (SPDs), interference filters, shielding of electrical wiring and the correct implementation of grounding.

3.2. Ways of pulsed noise penetration into logic DTS chain
The penetration paths of impulse noise from the power supply network to the logical circuits of the DTS are formed by stray capacitors and electromag­netic pickups in the conductors that make up the logical circuits of the DTS.
Let us consider some of these possible ways using the idealized design of a central heating system made in the form of a single box (Fig. 3.4). Spurious capacities having a distributed nature, we’ll show in the figure in the form of concentrated capacities:
– capacitance between the phase wires of the power supply of the
C
1P
DTS and the conductive housing of the DTS;
– capacitance between the conductive housing of the DTS and the
C
2P
elements of the logical circuits of the DTS;
– winding capacity of the network transformer.

Fig. 3.4. The ways of penetration of impulse noise into the logical circuits of the
DTS
Power supply of this central heating system is carried out via a single­phase 220 V line, which has a phase (L) and a neutral wire (N). Pulse noise has two types (Fig. 3.4). The first is symmetric (e1), the second is asymmetric (e2). Noise is symmetrical, the equivalent circuit of which, in the form of an equivalent EMF, is connected between the phase and zero of the supply line. This interference does not pose any danger to the DTS, since it closes to the
28
equivalent capacitance available between the wires L and N and cannot get into the DTS logical circuits.
More complicated is the situation with asymmetric noise that flows along the circuit formed by the equivalent EMF interference – parallel-connected power wires – the DTS conductive housing – spurious capacitances existing between the elements of the logic circuits and the housing parts (Сp – physical earth – equivalent EMF). In real installations, these paths can be much more complicated and confusing. In Fig. 3.4.
the paths of impulse noise penetration from the power supply network into the logical circuits of the DTS are shown by dashed lines. It should be noted that there are parasitic capacitances between the power supply wires and the parts of the central heating system, the presence of a natural capaci­tance between the primary and secondary windings of the network trans­former and many other elements.
Zero conductors and ground in the PZT. In relation to the constructive
implementation of the central heating system, two types of land are distin­guished. The first is a real earth, for example, in networks with a grounded neutral, the second is a system of conductive surfaces and electrical connec­tions, having a specific physical design and a specific functional purpose. The second type of land is always carried out artificially and can be divided into four main groups:
1) Protective earth is the so-called grounding chains. The potential of this system of conductors is far from always equal to the potential of the “physi­cal” earth.
2) A conducting system in relation to which the signal voltage is counted. The potential of this system is taken equal to zero. Such systems are some­times called "basic".
3) Electrical connections designed to form paths of reverse currents (sup­ply and signal). An example is the “common bus” of the secondary power supply or / neutral wire (neutral) of the primary. This land is called “returna­ble”.
4) Shielding systems.
The listed types of lands are rarely performed separately. Usually, the
base and return systems are combined, as well as the shielding and protective.
The combination of lands entails a deterioration in their properties. For example, the combination of the base and the return worsens its equipotenti­ality due to the voltage drop on the return conductors from the working cur­rents, which reduces the noise immunity.

3.3. Ways to protect a DTS from impulse noise
The main measure of protection of a DTS from impulse noise is the use of noise filters, which can be divided into two types: active and passive. The most common are passive filters, as the simplest in design and economical. Passive filters are a set of capacitors, inductances and resistors connected in a certain order in order to reduce interference currents penetrating the DTS logic circuits using the paths discussed above. Passive interference filters are divided into the following types:
Fig. 3.5. Types of interference filters
G-shaped filters. The operation of such filters is as follows. The voltage pulse causes the flow of the pulse current along the circuit: the equivalent EMF noise, the internal resistance of the EMF, the capacitance included in the filter design, ground. The voltage drop from the interference current con­sists of two parts: the first is the voltage drop in the elements of the supply network, the second is the voltage drop across the filter capacitance. The larger the filter’s capacitance or the greater the capacitive internal resistance of the equivalent emf noise is, the lower the pulse voltage at the filter input. A voltage drop across the filter capacitance causes a current through the filter inductance and through the load. At the same time, the filter inductance, which has a large resistance at the interference frequency, significantly re­duces the interference current flowing from the filter output to the load. Thus, the two times reduced interference current can penetrate the logical circuits of the DTS.
G-shaped filters can have two options: with a capacity at the input and with a capacity at the output.
