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.

A Self‐powered LVDC Solid‐State Circuit Breaker Using Low Voltage Step‐Up DC/DC Converter
This paper introduces a self‐powered LVDC solid‐state circuit breaker that harvests the forward drop of a Schottky diode via an ultra‐low voltage step‐up converter, eliminating the need for an auxiliary supply. A parallel MOSFET‐SCR conduction path and a Hall‐effect‐based electromagnet enable autonomous fault detection and tripping for both fast and ...

Thermal Runaway in Metal Oxide Varistors
The conditions leading to thermal runaway in metal oxide varistors are discussed in terms of its power dissipation. An equivalent circuit is used to rationalize the similarities and differences between the DC and 60 Hz ac behavior.

The effects of Cu dopant on the microstructure and non-ohmic electrical properties of ZnO varistors
The doping effects of Cu on the microstructure and non-ohmic electrical properties of ZnO varistors were studied. Addition of Cu2O can enhance the ZnO grain growth during sintering. The SEM and EDS results revealed that the added Cu mainly distributed in
