Improving the electromagnetic environment at power stations

 

The assessment of the electromagnetic environment is developed and implemented protective measures, which may include: 1. Optimization of the grounding device, including:

- Restoration of damaged and missing gasket grounding electrodes, - Installation of vertical ear thing devices for lightning protection, surge arresters and surge arresters

- Cast of grounding and potential equalization in buildings and premises in accordance with modern requirements,

- Ensuring lightning current spreading at a safe distance from power circuits and communication, as well as the locations of the equipment,

- The separation of grounding conductors for information technology equipment and devices that can carry significant interference, such as cable entries with radio masts,

- The gap unnecessary constraints (for example, between the elements of the lightning protection and filter joining high-frequency communications, cable TV, etc.)

2. Ensuring proper installation of secondary circuits under the terms of electromagnetic compatibility:

- Separate laying of information and power circuits,

- Organization screening (both - sided or grounding screens depending on site conditions)

- The use of data cables with a high degree of symmetry ("twisted pair")

- Laying of the cable to bypass areas with high levels of electromagnetic fields

- The use of barrier ear thing, tire balancing capacity

- The use of optical isolation

3. Optimization of supply:

- Separation of circuits and ground zero (the transition from a system of TN-C system for TN-S and TN-CS),

- Reduction of leakage current (to reduce the level of low-frequency magnetic fields and interference in the communication cables)

- Installation of stabilizers, isolating transformers and power backup devices, - The use of secondary sources (uninterruptible power supplies, rectifiers) with high noise immunity

- The organization of a screened subnet for communication devices and automated control systems (for example, through a separate phase stabilizer).

4. Installation of surge protection: In recent years began to be used more intensively surge suppression devices in the power supply and the exchange of information. Such devices are carried out on the basis of the power components with highly nonlinear current - voltage characteristic: arresters, varistors, diodes. Nonlinearity of the current voltage characteristic allows you to organize sanitation impulse noise on a "wire -to-wire" or "wire -to-ground" by not allowing them to reach the input devices. Effective use of such devices is largely determined by the organization of the system grounding. Currently, the most effective noise reduction in the fuel system is common to use the principle of the zone defense. He is to install safety devices in several stages, each of which dissipates some of the energy of the pulse (see Figure 1). As a result, the amplitude of the noise is reduced to levels that are safe for the equipment, even not specifically intended to be placed on energy facilities.

5. Shielding sensitive equipment. Sometimes a high level of magnetic fields in a short-circuit in the high-voltage network poses a direct threat to the equipment. In this case, the options are usually considered placing the product in special screening cabinets.
