Embodiment Construction

[0032]In general, the present disclosure describes systems and methods for protecting power transformers and other electronic or electromechanical equipment from damage from DC current and resulting harmonic content on power lines. Large DC midpoint currents and harmonic voltages can be geomagnetic (solar) storms, high amplitude electromagnetic E3 pulses (HEMP-E3) or other electrical equipment on the same grid or local power circuit such as switching power supplies, arc welding equipment, plasma Results of cutting, EDM equipment, arc lamps, etc. This disclosure generally describes methods and systems for sensing the harmonic content of 50Hz or 60Hz power line power supplies, and potentially disrupting midpoint DC currents, to allow critical electrical The device switches to operational protection mode.

[0033] According to various embodiments described herein, protection of high voltage power systems from GIC (solar storm) and EMP E3 pulses is achieved using a continuous uni...

Abstract

A continuous grounding system for use in an alternating current system including a transformer is disclosed. The system includes a switch assembly connected between a transformer neutral of a transformer and a ground, the switch assembly having an open position and a closed position, the open position disrupting the path through the switch assembly between the electrical connection and the transformer neutral, and the closed position establishing a path connecting the electrical connection to the transformer neutral through the switch assembly, wherein in normal operation of the alternating current electrical device the switch assembly remains in a closed position. The system also includes a DC blocking component positioned in parallel with the switch assembly and connected between the transformer neutral and the ground. The system further includes a control circuit configured to control the switch assembly, the control circuit including a sensor configured to actuate the switch assembly to an open position upon detection of a predetermined harmonic signal threshold at one of the transformer phases or a predetermined threshold of DC current between the transformer neutral and ground.
