A Compact Air‐Cooled Totally‐Enclosed Integrated Motor Drive for Industrial Applications

IET Electric Power Applications, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
This work presents a totally‐enclosed fan‐cooled integrated motor drive for industrial applications, in which the power converter is housed inside the motor and cooled using the existing fan, with a focus on the thermal behaviour and integration challenges. Using loss models and a combination of finite‐element and lumped‐parameter thermal analysis on a

Accurate Fault Current Phasor Estimation in Series‐Compensated Transmission Lines Using Improved Particle Swarm Optimisation

IET Generation, Transmission &Distribution, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
A new evolutionary search algorithm based on improved Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO) is introduced in this study to estimate the phasor. The performance has been evaluated through extensive simulations considering transient components, harmonics, and frequency changes in noiseless and noisy conditions.

Fabrication and electrical characteristics of flash-sintered SiO2-doped ZnO-Bi2O3-MnO2 varistors

Journal of Advanced Ceramics, 2020
The dense ZnO-Bi2O3-MnO2-xSiO2 (ZBMS) varistors for x = 0, 1, 2, 3 wt% were fabricated by flash sintering method under the low temperature of 850 °C within 2 min. The sample temperature was estimated by a black body radiation model in the flash sintering

Determining the effect of bismuth oxide on the microstructure and electrical response of cold‐sintered ZnO varistors

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Microstructure homogeneity and grain size reduction are needed to ensure the current uniformity and reliability required in metal oxide varistors for DC circuit breakers. Cold sintering (CS)–a low‐temperature digestive liquid and high‐pressure densification process–has previously shown reduced grain growth, but it is not clear how the lower ...

Three‐Level NF‐TDN Controller for AGC in Thermal‐Hydro‐Gas Power Systems Integrated With TCPS Under Nonlinear Conditions

International Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Automatic generation control (AGC) is vital for preserving frequency and power balance in modern interconnected power systems (IPSs), which are increasingly challenged by nonlinear dynamics, parameter uncertainties, and unpredictable load variations.

Concept Proof of Voltage Suppression across IGBT Application for Fuse‐Current‐Limiting Hybrid DCCBs

IEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Volume 20, Issue 12, Page 1973-1981, December 2025.
Abstract DC power systems require reliable and cost‐effective DC circuit breakers (DCCBs). In a previous study, we introduced a hybrid DCCB featuring a current‐limiting fuse, insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT), and a varistor connected in parallel.

Silicon carbide varistors

Transformers Magazine, 2022
Current transformers are used to monitor large currents within power grids and power stations, producing a current in the device’s secondary winding that is proportional to the current flowing in its primary winding. Varistors are used to protect current transformers by preventing an open circuit condition if the secondary is disconnected, which can ...

Kinetics deformation of current-voltage characteristics of the varistor oxide structures due to overcharging of the localized states

Tekhnologiya i Konstruirovanie v Elektronnoi Apparature, 2014
Prolonged exposure of zinc oxide varistors to the electrical load leads to current-voltage characteristics (CVC) deformation, which is associated with a change in the height and width of the intergranular barriers, which are the main structural element ...
