Thermal Characteristics and Ratings All electrical equipment has some constraint on its operation imposed by limitations in the temperature of the equipment. This constraint results in a maximum thermal rating which must be determined for the equipment. This is done by consideration of the heat generation during operation and the heat loss during operation. The rating determination requires the following information:

1. The environment and its effects on heat dissipation 2. Heat generation mechanisms in the equipment 3. Heat dissipation mechanisms 4. Temperature limitations of the materials 5. Short circuit currents 6. Material properties of the equipment

There are a variety of different ratings that must be considered. They are used for different operational conditions and for different items of equipment. The different forms of thermal rating are:

1. Continuous rating 2. Cyclic ratings (daily) 3. Emergency ratings: continuous, cyclic 4. Restricted cyclic (1-3 days) 5. Short duration rating (1-2 hours) 6. Short circuit rating (1-3 seconds)

1. Heat Generation Mechanisms Ohmic heat loss (direct and indirect) Magnetic hysteresis in magnetic materials Eddy currents in magnetic materials and in conductors Dielectric loss in insulating materials

1.1. Ohmic Heating Generation Direct ohmic heating results from the effects of current flow in the main conductors. For calculation of this heat loss we need an accurate determination of the resistance R. Indirect ohmic heating results from the effects of eddy currents induced by exposure of conductors to alternating magnetic fields. This is much more difficult to quantify. For direct ohmic heating, the simple calculation uses 2I R for the heat loss. We need to know R accurately. R depends on the following parameters:

Resistance dependence on temperature For pure metals, resistivity is due to scattering of conduction electrons by thermal vibrations of the atoms in the lattice. The resistivity increases linearly with temperature. For metallic alloys, resistivity is only weakly temperature dependent. Here, resistivity also arises from scattering of electrons from the impurities which is not temperature dependent. The material resistivity ρ is determined by electron scaterring from the lattice:

where: e = electron charge n = number of electrons µ = mobility As lattice atoms vibrate, effective cross section increases and causes more scattering. So:

SKIN EFFECT

In conductors and magnetic materials, the effect of an AC (external) magnetic field is to induce eddy currents which alter the B-field distribution, and the current distribution.

Effect of “Skin Effect” and “Proximity Effect” on electrical conductor impedance

When a current-carrying conductor is subject to an alternating magnetic field, eddy currents will be generated within the conductor and these eddy currents will then interact with the intrinsic current in the conductor and change the effective current distribution. The net effect of this change in current will be an effective increase in the conductor resistance and thus an effective increase in the ohmic losses in the conductor. When the interacting magnetic field is the AC field of the intrinsic current in the conductor itself, the result is the “skin effect”. When the interacting magnetic field is an external AC magnetic field, the result is the “proximity effect”.

(i) Resistance The current density when modified by skin effect is given by:

( ) 0 exp expr jrj r jδ δ− − =

where: 2 skin depthρδµω

= =

The redistribution of the current density j(r) causes an effective increase in the resistance

of the conductor. The new AC resistance is designated:

( )1AC DC sR R Y= +

where RDC is the resistance of the conductor assuming uniform current distribution with radius and Ys is a multiplier factor dependent on the conductor geometry and properties. (ii) Inductance In addition to the change in current distribution, the magnetic field distribution within the conductors is also changed because of the skin effect, becoming:

( ) exp expor jrB r Bδ δ− − =

This change in magnetic field and the change in the coupling with the current thus affects the internal inductance of the conductor and this will change the internal inductive reactance of the conductor. The end result will be an effective decrease in the internal inductance

and the internal inductive reactance.

[The external inductance will remain unchanged and this is the predominant inductive component in most conductors, with the exception of steel wires].

Conductor size limits

The increase in the electrical resistance of conductors with skin effect puts an effective uppper limit on size for the carrying of AC currents. This upper limit is nominally a diameter of about twice the skin depth of the material at the AC frequency: 2d δ≈ When δ is known, the effective cross-section area is, for a cylindrical conductor

At 50Hz, the skin effect can be significant in low voltage cables in particular, and also in large transformer windings and motors. In large transformers and motors, some segmentation of the conductor is necessary (Roebell construction) to counteract the skin effect.

ELEC9712-2008: Introduction p. 27/62

Effect of external AC magnetic fields on losses in current-carrying conductors Whenever any electrical conductor is exposed to an external AC magnetic field, the field penetrates into the conductor and the resulting effect is eddy current generation in the conductor (in fact this is also the effect of the intrinsic internal magnetic field that causes skin effect in a current-carrying conductor)] In an isolated conductor material, these eddy currents will generate eddy current loss due to ohmic heating and in current-carrying conductors the eddy currents will interact with the internal current flow and alter the current distribution and hence increase the resistance and thus also increase heat loss. This will occur in and affect the following:

Transformers and large rotating machines Any electrical conductors Cable sheaths and armour (particularly steel armour) Metallic busbar trunking material Transformer tanks

Proximity effect When a current-carrying conductor is subject to influence by an external magnetic field, the modification of the current distribution and the resulting increase in resistance and heating is termed the “proximity effect”. The resistance is then designated:

( )1AC DC s pR R Y Y= + + where Ys is the skin effect multiplier and Yp is the proximity effect multiplier. RDC is the geometric resistance of the conductor, as before. Note that Ys will be zero if the current is DC. Minimising the skin and proximity effects on resistance

For large conductors the skin effect can be reduced by dividing the conductor into segments which are insulated (by an enamel coating) from each other, and then the proximity effect can be reduced by regular transposition of the conductor segments.

1.2. LOSSES IN MAGNETIC MATERIALS (when subject to AC magnetic fields) Magnetic material losses are a major cause of heating in large electrical equipment items and they must be limited as much as possible. There are two components of magnetic material loss:

Hysteresis loss Eddy current loss

1.3. Eddy current loss The eddy current loss is due to the same mechanism as just previously discussed. However the heating effect is greatly magnified in magnetic materials because of the high magnetic permeability of such materials which will magnify the applied B field and thus cause Bm to be very high. Lamination is the traditional way of reducing such eddy current losses in magnetic material cores. Hysteresis loss Hysteresis losses in magnetic materials are generated by frictional effects of the magnetic domain movement in the materials as they try to follow the changing direction of the applied alternating field. When the material is subject to the field, the B-H relationship is the well-known hysteresis loop of magnetic materials, as shown below:

Page 33: Common Background Material for Electrical … › elec9712 › ELEC9712 - Lec1...ELEC9712-2008: Introduction p. 1/62 ELEC9712 High Voltage Systems Common Background Material for Electrical

ELEC9712-2008: Introduction p. 33/62

There is an associated energy storage in the magnetic field in the medium:

212

W Hµ=

and the hysteresis loss per cycle can be obtained by integrating this energy around the B-H loop over one cycle of the alternating field. For example, for a toroid with N turns carrying a current of I amps, we have:

mmf NI H= = I I dI→ + H H dH→ + B B dB→ +

Linear approximation [approximate the area] Draw a grid and count squares within the B-H loop Use the manufacturer’s data on losses Use an appropriate empirical formula for the losses.

[Note: the above is an empirical formula only and does not cover the full range of possible value of B.] Usually, 1.5 < n < 2.5 with a most common value of about n=1.6. Often a value of 2 is used to give consistency with the eddy current losses when determining the total magnetic material losses [eddy + hysteresis] and their dependence on the magnetic field level. The value of λ depends on the material used. Typical values of losses The following typical values of λ and n for various materials are for values of Bmax in the range 1.0 – 1.6 tesla.

FIELD ANALYSIS To solve a field problem, we need to obtain the flux or potential distribution. From this, we can obtain the required macroscopic and microscopic properties

e.g. R, C, L, RTH

, , , , etcJ D B E There are three methods of obtaining flux and potential distribution:

1. Solve Laplace’s equation ( )2 0φ∇ = or Poisson’s

equation ( )2φ ρ ε∇ = − analytically or numerically

2. Mannual field mapping 3. Numerical iteration

Field mapping (plotting) This technique uses known field properties to draw up a map of the field for a particular configuration. It can give surprisingly accurate results. Field properties:

(i) Flux lines and equipotentials are orthogonal (ii) Surfaces of flux sources are equipotentials (iii) Flux lines intersect sources and sinks orthogonally.

The aim is to divide the field structure into curvilinear squares (assuming there is symmetry in the third dimension)

If the element is part of current flow and the current density is J , and electric field E ( ) ( ) area = =1 mI J J x J x∆ = × × ∆ = ∆ V E y∆ = ∆ Hence, resistance of the elemental section is:

Thus, each curvilinear square of unit depth has resistance ρ. The total resistance can be obtained by counting squares in the full map. This holds for any field, the only difference being the property relative to the field type, e.g.

For an electric field, capacitance of the unit square ε= For a magnetic field, the unit square inductance µ= For a thermal field, the unit square conductance k=

e.g. for a current flow field above, if there are n equipotential drops and m flux tubes of current and the resistivity is ρ, then the total R is:
