The reduced scale in length S a is 1/20, which is similar to the method in [19].So a real section of distribution line with length of 200 m, height of 10 m, diameter of 1 cm, is represented by a simulation distribution line, which is 10 m in length, 0.5 mm in diameter, and 0.5 m in height.m in height.
The Causes of Electrolytic Capacitor Degradation
The voltage factor K V is given by:. U a is the actual operating voltage, U r is the rated voltage, and n is the exponent.. Electrolytic capacitor degradation is challenging, as it limits the reliability of critical circuits. Cadence''s PCB design and analysis software can help designers identify reliable electrolytic capacitors for circuit design.
Lightning surge protection for electronic equipment
lightning strikes. While much of the lightning energy is dissipated by integral high voltage surge protection devices, a large proportion will travel along the distribution system and, due to its high frequency nature, will capacitively cou-ple through HV/LV power
Lightning explained
Lightning is a large-scale natural spark discharge that occurs within the atmosphere or between the atmosphere and the Earth''s surface. On discharge, a highly electrically conductive plasma channel is created within the air, and when current flows within this channel, it rapidly heats the air up to about 25,000°C. The lightning channel is an …
Lightning and surge protection

Understanding the Interaction between Lightning and Power Transmission ...
The purpose of good line design is to minimize the faults caused by lightning strikes. The design is a compromise as needs in one area frequently conflict with other requirements, including economics. For instance, underground lines are immune to lightning strikes. However, it is not economically feasible to build all lines underground.
Understanding Air Conditioner Lightning Strikes
Capacitor – A burnt capacitor is the most common component our experts see damaged following a lightning storm. Capacitors help your AC motor run by holding and releasing electrical energy within very specific voltage limits, so when a surge pushes the voltage beyond these limits, it can lead to immediate failure or degradation of the ...
