Digital computation of transients and safety testing of mine electrical power systems. Annual report, 24 Jun 1975--23 Jun 1976

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7322878

Four distinct tasks related to research on the safety and reliability of mine electrical power systems are discussed. Task one is to develop tests and the associated instrumentation to detect incipient faults on a mine or any low-voltage power system. Task two is a dual effort related to the digital prediction of electrical transients on mine power systems and laboratory testing of transient suppression devices. Task three is also a dual effort. This task consists of both theoretical and laboratory work to assess both the reliability and the fail-safe characteristics of several items of protective equipment used in mine power systems. Task four consists of an effort to use programmable calculators and/or computer terminals to check overcurrent protective device coordination.
