Abstract

Covers a method of calculating the mechanical and thermal effects on rigid conductors caused by short-circuit currents in d.c. auxiliary installations in power plants and substations. These systems could contain rectifiers in three-phase a.c. bridge connection for 50 Hz, stationary lead-acid batteries, smoothing capacitors, d.c. motors with independent excitation. Gives a method with wide application, which gives sufficiently accurate results. The method of calculating is based on substitute functions, causing approximately the same maximum stresses in the conductors and the same forces on the supports as the actual electromagnetic force.
