Ref: Website of Hershey Energy Systems Triplen Harmonics - The triplen harmonics, in alternating current power systems, are defined as the odd multiples of the 3rd harmonic (ex. 3rd, 9th, 15th, 21st etc.). Triplen harmonics are of particular concern because they are zero sequence harmonics, unlike the fundamental, which is positive sequence. The consequence of this fact is that the magnitude of these currents on the 3 phases are additive in the neutral. Edited the original to add: ", in alternating current power systems, "
Currents that originate near the equator are going to be warm water currents, and currents that form near the poles will be cold water currents. It is the temperature of the waters in these currents that influence the climates of the land masses by or around which they flow.
oppositional currents
currents provide movement in times of little to no wind
Yes, streams do have currents, which are the movements of water flowing in a specific direction. The strength and speed of these currents can vary based on factors like the gradient of the streambed, the volume of water, and any obstacles in the water's path. Currents are essential for transporting nutrients and sediment, contributing to the overall ecosystem health of the stream.
longshore currents for example ,often deposit sand along shorelines,the sand builds up to form sandbars
The triplen harmonics are defined as the odd multiples of the 3rd harmonic (ex. 3rd, 9th, 15th, 21st etc.). Triplen harmonics are of particular concern because they are zero sequence harmonics, unlike the fundamental, which is positive sequence. The consequence of this fact is that the magnitude of these currents on the 3 phases are additive in the neutral. This can lead to very large currents circulating in the neutral, and unless the neutral is sufficiently oversized this can present a fire hazard. These currents can also circulate in the transformer causing significant overheating there too. Single-phase power supplies for equipment such as electronic ballasts and PCs are the most significant source of Triplen harmonics
A problem arises in 3-phase systems when the loads draw harmonic currents. This can happen with a load like a TV set which contains rectifiers to produce a dc supply for its electronic circuits. The load current waveform is not a perfect sine wave and it can be analysed in the frequency domain as the sum of a fundamental current at 50 Hz (in Europe) and harmonics at 100, 150, 200, 250 Hz etc. This is done by Fourier analysis. The triplen harmonics are the odd-multiples of 3, in other words the 3rd, 9th, 15th etc. and cause problems in 3-phase systems. In a balanced 3-phase 4-wire system there is zero current in the neutral wire, but when there are triplen harmonics in the load current, there is current in the neutral even when the currents are balanced (i.e. equal in all three phases), because the triplen currents add while the fundamental-frequency currents cancel out in the neutral. Unnecessary currents cause additional losses in the power transmission network and therefore transmission engineers try to minimise them.
If triplen harmonics (multiples of three) are introduced to an induction motor, they can lead to increased heating, reduced efficiency, and potential torque pulsation. Triplen harmonics do not contribute to the motor's fundamental torque, which can cause additional vibrations and mechanical stress. Additionally, these harmonics can lead to distorted current waveforms, potentially affecting the motor's performance and lifespan. In severe cases, it may also result in overheating of the motor windings.
deepwater currents
Diverging currents are currents that are deviating and usually take place to ocean currents. This will be marked by an inconsistent airflow pattern of the currents.
If you are referring to currents in iron cores, circular currents are called eddy currents.
no, density currents flow slower than surface currents because surface currents are powered by the wind ;)
The three types of ocean currents are surface currents, deep currents, and tidal currents. Surface currents are driven by winds, deep currents are driven by density and temperature differences, and tidal currents are driven by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun.
Warm currents have a very obvious affect on the temperature that surrounds it. Warm currents will warm the area around the currents.
Cold ocean currents sink under warm ocean currents to form deep ocean currents.
You can have electrical currents, or currents in fluids such as water or air.
A difference between gyres and currents is that currents are formed by the wind, but gyres are formed by currents.
