Abstract

See full text

In a power distribution system, synchronizing switchgear operations with an AC voltage or current waveform can be accomplished more precisely with a closed-loop feedback, microprocessor-based motion control design. By employing a closed-loop feedback, microprocessor-based design, switchgear contact position and velocity can be monitored and optimized in real time during a switching operation, thereby assuring a more accurate switching operation. Moreover, the closed-loop feedback design intrinsically compensates for the effects of such things as ambient temperature, AC waveform fluctuations, and changes in the physical condition of the switchgear. The closed-loop position feedback design is also capable of optimizing various transfer function parameters associated with the closed-loop feedback process, both during and subsequent to a switching operation, to further assure that switching operations are more accurately synchronized with the AC voltage or current waveforms.
