The production and franemission of electioty ig relatively eficient and inexpensive, altrough unlike bier Torme of energy, electricity ie not easly stored and thus must generally be Used as It is being produced. 4.2 COMPONENTS OF AN ELECTRIC POWER SYSTEM ‘A modem electric power system consists of six main components: 4) The power station, 2) A set of transformers to on the transmission ines, ise the generated power to the high voltages used 3) The transmission tines, 44) The substations at which the power is stepped down to the voltage on the distribution lines, 5) The distribution nes, and 66) The vansforers that lower the distribution voltage to the level used by the consumer's equipment 4.3 BOWER STATION ‘The power station of a power system consists of a prime mover, such a8 @ turbine driven by water, Steam, of combustion gases that operate 2 system of tlectrie motors and jenarators. Most of the world's electric power is generated in steam plants driven by coal, ol, nuclear energy, or ges. A smaller percentage of {he wont's olostfe power is generated by hydracloctric (waterpower), diesel, and internal-combustion plants uses eemseeeai oun CHAPTER 1 44 TRANSFORMER Transformer, electrical device consisting of one coil of wire placed in close proximity ta ‘one or rore other coils, used to couple two or more alternating- ‘current (AC) circalts together by empioying the induction between the coils (see Electricty). The coll connected to the power source is called the primary coil, and the other colle are known as secondary. A transformer in which the secondary voltage is higher then the primary is called a step-up transformer, if the secondary vollage is lass than the primary, the device is known as a step-down transformer. The product of current time's voltage is constant in each set of coils, so that in a step-up transformer, the voltage increase in the secondary is, ‘accompanied by a coresponding dacrease in the current. 1.5 POWER TRANSFORMERS Lerge devices are used in electric power systems, and small units in electronic, Gevioes Industrial and residential power transformers that operate at the line frequency may be single phase or three-phase, and are designed to handle high voltages and currents, Efficient power transmission requires a step-up transformer at the power-generating station to raise voltages, with a corresponding decrease In current, Line power losses are proportional to the ‘square of the current times the resisiance of the power line, so that very high voltages and low currents are used for long-distance transmission lines to reduce losses, At the reoaiviig end, step-down transformers reduce the voltage, and increase the current, to the residential or industrial voltage level, usually 220 to 418, 1.8 TRANSMISSION LINES The lines of high-voltage transmission systems are usually composed of wires of copper, aluminum, oF copper-clad or aluminum-clad steel, which are suspended from tall laticawork towers of steel by stings of porcelain insulators. By the use of clad steel wires and high towers, the distance between towers can be increased, and the cast of the transmission line thus reduced, In modem. installations with essentially straight paths, high-voltage lines may be built with as, few as six towers t2 the Kllometer. In some areas highwvoltage lines are suspended from tall wooden poles spaced more closely together. For lower voltage distribution lines, wooden poles are generally used rather than steel {owers. In cities and cther areas where open lines create a sefety hazard or are considered unattractive, ineulated underground cables are used for distribution. sas rennin Ala CHAPTER 1 Se 1.7 SUPPLEMENTARY EQUIPMENT ‘Any electic-distibuton system Involves @ large amount of supplementary fequioment fo protect the generators, transformers, and the transmission lines “The system offen includes devices designed to regulate the voltage or other ‘characteristics of power delivered to consumers. ‘To protect all elemens of a power system from short circuits and overloads, and {for normal switching operations, circuit broakers are employed. These breakers re large switches thst are activated automatically in the event of @ short circut ‘of other condition that produoas a sudden rise of current, Because @ current orme acrovs the terminals ofthe croult breaker at the moment when the current is interupted, some large breakers (such as those used to protect a generator ar '3 section of primary transmission line) are immersed in a liquid that is a poor Conductor of electicty, such as ol, fo quench the current In large ai-type circuit breakers, as well as in oll breakars, magnetic fields are used to break up the current. Small ai-cireult breakers are used for protection In shops, factories, and in modem home installations, In residential electic wing, fuses were onos Commonly employed for the same purpose. A fuse consists of a piece of alloy tuth a low mating point, inserted in the creat, which melts, breaking the ciroult it the current rises above @ certain value. Most now use eit-circult breakers 4.8 POWER QUALITY In recent years electricity has eeen used to power more sophisticated and technically complex manufacturing processes, computers and computer networks, and & variety of other high-technology consumer goods. These products and provessee are sensitive not only to the cortinuty of power supply but also to the corstanoy of electrical frequency and voltage. Consequently, Ulties are taking new measures to provide the necessary reliability and quality Of electrical power, such as by providing additional electrical equipment to assure that the voltage and other characteristics of electrical power ere constant, ee susasonneatebatmat ou ala CHAPTER 1 1.9 VOLTAGE REGULATION Long transmission ines have considerable inductance and capacitance. When ‘ourrent flows through the line, inductance and capactance have the effect of varying the voltage on the line as the current varies, Thus the supply voltage varies with the load, Several kinds of devices are used to overcome this Undesirable veriation In an operation called regulation of the votage. The devices Include incuction regulators and three-phase synchronous motors (called ‘synchronous condensers), both of which vary the effective amount of inductance ‘and capacitance in the transmission cicut. Inductanee and capactance react with a tendency to nulify one another. When a load cireuit has more inductive than capactive reactance, as almost invariably ‘cours in large power systems, the amount of power delivered for a given voltage: {and curtent is less than when the two are equal. The rato of these two amounts ‘of power is called the power factor. Secause transmissionline losses sre proportional to current, capacitance is added to the circuit when possible, thus bringing the power fsctor as neerly a6 possible to 1. For this reason, large ‘capacitors are frequerly inserted as a pat of power-tansmission systems. sas rerannsnraseBos CHAPTER 2 ae 2.

The leters that precede the phumbers go back wel before even the vacuum tube (thermionie valve), s0 "O" twas the only one available for semiconductor devices in the mié-twentieth Century, Often the value of the component is given on the diagram beside the part, but detailed partculars would go on the parts list 2.2 SYMBOLS Circuit diagrams have differed from county te country and have changed over time. The symbol for @ resistor shown here dates-back to the days when that ‘component was made from a long piece of wire wrapped in such @ manner as to fot produce inductance, which would have made it a coll. These. wirewound Fosistors are now used only in high-power applications, smaller resistors being Cast from carbon composition (a mixture of carbon and file) or fabricated as an Insulating tube or chip coated with @ metal fim. To llustrate this, European circut diagrams have replaced the zig-zag symbol by a simple oblong, sometimes with the value In ohms written Inside, A less comman symbol ie simply @ series of peaks on one side o°the line representing the conductor, rather than back-and- forth @s shown here, Also, the bulb symbol has had many variatons over the past years. 2.8 LINKAGES. The linkages betwesn leads were once simple crossings of lines; one wire insulated from and “jumping over" another was indicated by it making aa litle semicircle over the other line, With the arrival of computstized drafting, @ annection of wo intersecting wires was shown by a crossing with dot or "Slob", and a crossover of insulated wires by a simple crossing without a dot However, there was a danger of confusing these two representations if the dot was drawn foo small or omited, Modern practice is to avoid using the "erossover, ‘vith dot" symbol, and to draw the wires meeting at two points instead of one.

Switches are eseentially binary devices: they are either completely on (elosed") or completely of (fopen"), There are many diferent types of switches, Toggle switch a “Toggle switches are actuated by @ lever angled in one of two or more positions ‘The common light switch used in household wiring Is an example of a toggle snitch. Most toggle evitches will come to rest in any of their lever positions, wile thers have an intemal spring mechanism returning the lever to @ certain normal postion, allowing for what is called "miomentary* operation. Pushbutton switch ae Pushbutton switches are two-positon devices actuated with a button that is pressed and roleoted, Moct puehbutton switches have an intemal spring Imechanism retuming the button to ts “out,” or "impressed," position, for momentary operation. Some pushbutton switches wil latch alternately on of off vith every push of the button. Other pushbutton switches will stay in their “in,” or ae inet sas opcctenatestas CHAPTER 2 a “pressed," postion unt the bulton is pulled back out. Ths last type of pushbutton switches usually has a mushroom-shaped button for easy push-pull action, Selector switch = Selector switches are actuated with a rotary knob or lever of some sort to select ‘one of two or more pasitons, Like the toggle switch, selector switches can either fest in any of their postions oF contain spring-returm mechanisms for momentary operation, Joystick switch 2 ‘A joystick switch is actuated by a lever free to move in more than one axis of motion. One or more of several switch contact mechanisms are actuated depending on whion way the lever is pushed, and sometimes by how far itis pushed. ‘The circe-and-det notation én the switch symbol represents the Firection of joystick lever motion required to actuate the contact, Joystick hand ‘switches are commonly used for cane and robot conto. Lever actuator limit switch NS ‘These limit switches closely resemble rugged toggle or selactor hand switches fitted with a lever pushed by the machine part. Often, tne levers are tipped with 2 small roller beering, preventing the lever from being worn off by repeated contact with the machine pat Proximity swrttoh Ape 42s Yy 7 hsascemeaenemal soe ane CHAPTER 2 eee, Proximity switches serse the approach of @ metallic machine part elther by a magnetic or high reqvency electromagnetic field, Simple proximity switches use 2 permanent magnat to actuate a sealed switch mechanism whenever the machine part gets cose (typically 1 inch of less). More complex proximity ‘Switches work like a metal detector, energizing a coll of wire with a high: frequency current, and electronically monitoring the magnitude of that ‘Speed switch 4 i “These switches sense the rotary speed of a shaft ether by a centrifugal weight mechanism mounted on the shat, or by some kind of non-contact detection of shaft motion such as optical or magnetic. Pressure switch Gas or liquid pressure can be used to actuate a switch mechanism if that pressure is applied toa piston, diaphragm, or bellows, which converts pressure fa mechanical force. Temperature switch ‘An inexpensive temperature-sensing mechanism is the "bimetali strip:" a thin strip of two metals, ined back-to-back, each metal having a diferent rate of thermal expansion. When the stip heats or cools, differing rates of thermal expansion between fhe two metals causes i to bend. The bending of the strip an then be used to actuate a switch contact mechanism, Other temperature Switches use a brass bulb filed witn either a liquid or gas, with a tiny tube Connecting the bulb 1 a pressure-verisiny switch. As the bub is heated, the goo or liquid expands, generating a preseure increase which then actuates the switch mechanism, 8 ans renertniaisAe Boa CHAPTER 2 Liquid level switch -s ‘A floating object can be used to actuate a switch mechanism when the liquid level nan tank rises past a certain point. If the liquid Is electrically conductive, the iquié kseif can be used as a conductor to bridge between two metal probes inserted into the tankeat the required depth. The conductivity technique is usualy implemented witn @ ssecial design of relay tiggered by a small amount of current through the conductie bquid. In moat cases itis impractical and dangerous to switch the ful load current ofthe circuit through a quid Liquid flow switch ms Inserted into a pipe, a flow switch will detect any gas or liquid flow rate in excess. of a certain threshold usually with a small paddle or vane which is pushed by the flow. Other flow switches are constructed as diferential pressure switches, measuring the pressure drop across a restriction buit into the pipe. + REVIEW: 2A such is an electical device, usually electromechanical, used to control ‘continuity between two points. + Hand ewitches are actuated by human touch 2 Limit ewhehes are actuated by machine motion. {Process switches are actuated by changes in some physical process emperature, level, flow, eta) 2.6 SWITCH CONTACT DESIGN ‘A switch can be constructed with any mechanism bringing two conductors into Contact with each other in a controlled manner. This ean be as simple as allowing ‘wo copper wires to touch each other by the matin of a lavar, nr by directly pushing two metal stipe into contact, However, a good switch design must be Fugged and relabie, and avold presenting the” oparator with the possibilty of Gledtric shock.

[Any kind of switch covtact can be designed eo that the contacts “close” (establish ‘continuy) when actuated, of “open (interrupt continuity) when actuated, For Switches that have a spring-retum mechanism in them, the direction that the Spring relums it to with no applied force is called the normal postion. Therefore, oniacis that are open inthis position are called normally open and contacts that ‘are closed inthis poston are called normally closed.
