Maximum allowable resistive zone in a metastable conductor

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5655969
This paper gives explicit formulas for (1) the maximum fault resistance allowable in a metastable conductor and (2) the reduction in MPZ energy caused by any fault. Both formulas are strictly applicable when the thermophysical properties are constant. The paper also gives a generalization of the first formula that covers the case of a three-part boiling (rather than a constant) heat transfer coefficient.
