Reducing voltage sags through fault current limitation.

Reducing voltage sags through fault current limitation.

Short circuit current limitation in distribution utilities can be an effective way to improve power quality, since the expected voltage sag amplitude during faults can be dramatically reduced. A simple series LC circuit tuned at the net frequency, with the capacitor shunted by a metal oxide varistor...
