Abstract:

The phenomena of arc flash is a concern to any engineer that works on high power electrical equipment.\u00a0 The IEEE has sought to quantify the hazard of arc flash in IEEE 1584-2018, which is an update of IEEE-1584 2002. To update the standard, testing was done to determine the arc flash effects as a function of numerous variables (which took years) followed by analysis that produced the equations presented in the standard.

However, the analysis has limitations.\u00a0 Very high power excitation equipment may fall outside the range of applicability of the standard.

Examples of arc flash events will be shown followed by an explanation of the use of the standard, along with a discussion of the PPE used to protect personnel from the hazards of arc flash.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

THE TOPIC
Fiber 101 Presentation will focus on: With increasing need form technology for telecommunication networks bandwidth capacity and the ever changing applicationsand infrastructure requirements, it is becoming more imperative to design and implement a network infrastructure which provide cost effective installations as well asfuture proofing. New Fiber To The Edge (FTTE) technologies, provide bandwidth and power to edge devices allowing the network to be as future-flexible as possibleand realize significant CAPEX and OPEX cost savings over traditional copper technologies. With all of these growing network demands, connectivity is now the 4th utility; and as such, network design and implementation has to be thought in a more modern way and should be designed around your building, not your buildingaround your network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fiber Deep\/Power Deep (FTTE) technology allows you to extend well past traditional 90 meter limitations and solve for multiple applicationswith one unified infrastructure. A fiber deep solution also eliminates the need for disruptive and costly rip-and-replace traditional infrastructures. In addition toinfrastructure, FTTE solution can solve for both IP and RF connectivity, thus providing more cost savins and future proving of infrastructure for all voice, video, anddata networks to meet current and future technology needs.<\/p>\n

Abstract<\/strong><\/span> —<\/strong>This tutorial discusses the latest IEEE Std. 3002.8 \u201cRecommended Practice for Conducting Harmonic Analysis Studies of Industrial and Commercial Power Systems\u201d. The standard is based on IEEE Std. 399 (Brown Book) with many new enhancements and additions. The new standard systematically addresses requirements and recommendations for performing power system harmonic studies, including developing system models, modeling various harmonic sources and electrical equipment and devices,
preparing required data for modeling and studies, validating model and data, selecting study cases, and analyzing results and outputs from the studies. Necessary features for computer tools that are used to perform harmonic-analysis are listed and discussed. The latest IEEE Std. 519-2014 \u201cRecommended Practices and Requirements for Harmonic Control in Electrical Power Systems\u201d is referenced in the standard, as well as references related to interharmonics. One illustration example is provided at end of the tutorial to help readers further understand harmonic studies and expected results. The author of this tutorial is the co-chair of IEEE Std. 3002.8 working group.<\/p>\n

“SiC Power Technology Status and Barriers to Overcome” <\/strong><\/p>\n

by Dr. Victor Veliadis, Executive Director & CTO of PowerAmerica<\/p>\n

VTools Link: https:\/\/events.vtools.ieee.org\/m\/350692<\/a><\/p>\n

Abstract:\u00a0<\/p>\n

Silicon devices are dominating power electronics due to their excellent starting material quality, streamlined fabrication, low-cost volume production, proven reliability and ruggedness, and design\/circuit legacy. Although Si power devices continue to make progress, they are approaching their operational limits primarily due to their relatively low bandgap and critical electric field that result in high conduction and switching losses, and poor high temperature performance.<\/p>\n

In this presentation, the co-existence of Si, SiC, and GaN will be discussed, and their respective competitive advantages highlighted. The favorable material properties of Silicon Carbide, which allow for highly efficient power devices with reduced form-factor and cooling requirements, will be outlined. High impact application opportunities, where SiC devices are displacing their incumbent Si counterparts, will be reported. Fab models and the vibrant SiC manufacturing infrastructure (that mirrors that of Si) will be presented. Barriers to SiC mass commercialization will be identified and analyzed. These include the higher than silicon device cost, reliability and ruggedness concerns, defects that degrade device performance, and the need for a trained workforce to skillfully insert SiC into power electronics systems.\u00a0<\/p>\n
