2.2 正弦量的相量图表示法
正弦量除可用三角函数、波形图表示外，但可用随时间变化的旋转有向线段OA在y轴上的投影来表示，如图2-4所示。称相量图法。

图2-4 用旋转的有向线段表示正弦量
用有向线段OA的长度表示正弦量的幅值Um(或Im)， OA与x轴正向的夹角表示初相位ψ， OA随时间以逆时针方向旋转的角速度表示ω，则OA在y轴上的投影为 OA=ASsin(ωt+ψ)。

(1) i 与 u 为同频率，且 u 超前 i90° ，或 i 滞后 u90°。 (2) Um (U)与Im(I)和ωL符合欧姆定律关系。ωL 的单位是欧姆，具有对i起阻碍的物理性质，称为电抗，简称感抗，用XL表示，即 XL＝ωL＝2πfL

在交流电路中，因各电流和电压多 +j A 为同一频率的正弦量，故可用有向线段 b r 来表示正弦量的最大值 ( 有效值 ) Im 、 ψ Um(I、U)和初相ψ ，称为正弦量的相量。 O a +1 在正弦量的大写字母上打“ •”表示，如图2-5 有向线段的表示正弦量幅值电流、电压相量用 I m、 U m表示，有 • U 效值电流、电压相量用 I 、 U 表示。将电 • 路中各电压、电流的相量画在同一坐标 φ I ψ 中，这样的图形称为相量图。 ψ 同频率的u和i可用图2-6相量图表示。图2-6 u和i的相量图即 U 超前 I φ°，I 或 U 滞后φ°。

Electrical and Electronic Engineering Basics

Anelectrical circuit or network （网络，电路） is composed of elements such as resistors （电阻器），inductors （电感器），and capacitors （电容器） connected together in some manner ．Ifthe network contains no energy sources, such as batteries orelectrical generators, it is known as a passive network （无源网络）. On the other hand, if one or more energy sources are present, the resultant combination is an active network （有源网络）. In studying the behavior of an electrical network, we are interested in determining the voltages and currents that exist within the circuit. Since a network is composed of passive circuit elements, we must first define the electrical characteristics （特性曲线） of these elements.In the case of a resistor, the voltage-current relationship is given by Ohm ’s （欧姆） law, which states that the voltage across the resistor is equal to the current through the resistor multiplied by the value of the resistance. Mathematically, this is expressed as U=IR (1-1A-1)Where u=voltage, V; i=current, A; R=resistance,The voltage across a pure inductor is defined by Faraday ’s （法拉第）law , which states that the voltage across the inductor is proportional to the rate of change with time of the current through the inductor. Thus we have u=L di/dt (1-1A-2)Where di/dt=rate of change of current, A/s; L=inductance, H.The voltage developed across a capacitor is proportional to the electric charge （电荷）q accumulating on the plates of the capacitor. Since the accumulation of charge may be expressed as the summation, or integral （积分）, of the charge increments （增量） dq, we have the equationU= 1/c ∫dq (1-1A-3)Where the capacitance C is the proportionality constant relating voltage and charge. By current equals the of the charge with time and is expressed as i=dq/dt, Thus an increment of charge dq is equal to the current multiplied by the corresponding time increment, or dq=i dt. Eq.(1-1A-3)may then be written asU= 1/c ∫idt (1-1A-4)Where C =capacitance, F.A summary of Eqs. (1-1A-1) (1-1A-2) and (1-1A-4) for the three forms of passive circuit element is given in Fig. 1-1A-1.Note that conventional current flow is used;+ - R + - L + -C a) b) c) L L d /d (1/)d u L i t i L u t ==⎰C (1/)d u C i t =⎰d /d i C u t =R u iR =R /i u R =hence the current in each element is shown in the direction of deceasing voltage. Active electric devices involve the conversion of energy to electrical form. For example, the electric energy in a battery is derived from its stored chemical energy. The electric energy of a generator is a result of chemical energy of the rotating armature.（电枢，衔铁，加固）Active electrical elements occur in two basic forms: voltage sources and current sources. In their ideal form, voltage sources generate a constant voltage independence of the current drawn from the source. The aforementioned（上述的，前面提到的）battery and generator are regarded as voltage sources since their voltage is essentially constant with load. On the other hand, current sources produce a current whose magnitude is independent of the load connected to the source. Although current sources are not as familiar in practice, the concept dose find wide use in representing （代表，表示，阐明）an amplifying (放大)device, such as the transistor, by means of an equivalent electrical circuit. Symbolic（符号的，记号的）representations of voltage and current sources are shown in Fig.1-1A-2.A common method of analyzing an electrical network is mesh（网孔）or loop analysis. The fundamental law that is applied in this method is Kirchhoff’s fist law（基尔霍夫第一定律）, which states that the algebraic sum of the voltages around a closed loop is 0, or, in any closed loop, the sum of the voltage rises must equal the sum of the voltage drops. Mesh analysis consists of assuming that currents—termed loop currents—flow in each loop of a network, algebraically summing the voltage drops（电压降）around each loop, and setting each sun equal to 0.Consider the circuit shown in Fig. 1-1A-3a which consists of an inductor and resistor connected in series（串联）to a voltage source e. Assuming a loop current I, the voltage drops summed around the loop are-e+u R+u L=0 (1-1A-5)The input voltage is summed negatively since, in the direction assumed current, it represents an increase in voltage. The drop across each passive element is positive since the current is in the current is in the direction of the developed voltage.Eq.(1-1A-6) is the differential equation for the current in the circuit.It may be that the inductor voltage rather than the current is variable of interest inthe circuit, As noted in Fig. 1-1A-1, i=L-1∫u L dt. Substituting this integral for I in Eq.(1-1A-6) GivesU L+R/L∫u L dt=e (1-1A-7)After differentiation（微分）with respect to time, Eq.(1-1A-7) becomesdu L/dt+R/L u L = de/dt ( 1-1A-8)which is the differentiation equation for the inductor voltage.+-a)+-ib)uC+-a) b)u L+-u LFig. (1-1A- 3b shows a series circuit containing a resistor, inductor, and capacitor.

《电工技术》期刊精选——浅析母联充电保护的应用

《电工技术》期刊精选——浅析母联充电保护的应用浅析母联充电保护的应用袁惠1，何姣2，陈爱茹3（1．宁夏电力公司，宁夏中卫755000；2．宁夏电力公司，宁夏中卫755000；3．宁夏电力公司，宁夏中卫755000）摘要：母线充电保护是继电保护中常用的母线保护之一，在新投运线路、新设备投运或停役母线恢复过程中常使用。

本文重点分析了母联充电保护的原理，并对母联充电保护的一些应用进行了阐述，对相关专业的人员有一定的借鉴作用。

关键词：充电保护差动保护闭锁保护配置0 引言母联充电保护简称母充保护，属于断路器保护。

目前母联充电保护配置很两种，一种是母差中含有的母联充电保护，一种是单独配置的母联充电保护。

在恢复停役母线或新投运线路过程中，为了更可靠地切除被充电母线上的故障，在母联断路器上设置相电流或零序电流保护，保护应具备可瞬时和延时跳闸的回路，作为专用的母线充电保护。

该保护能以较小定值跳开母联断路器隔离故障母线，此时故障母线上没有其他运行设备，既不会造成重大损失，而且能快速的切除故障，因此母充保护得到了广泛的引用。

更多资讯尽在中国电工网。

1 母联充电保护原理如图1所示，我们正常在投运新设备时，当I母线由检修状态恢复到运行状态时，先合母联断路器对I母线充电。

如果该母线没有故障，在按照投运要求将某些间隔倒至I母线上运行；但是如果I母线存在故障（如接地），在合母联断路器后，母联断路器上应该存在保护瞬间切除母联断路器，从而保证II母线正常运行，这种保护就是母联充电保护。

（图1用母联对I母充电）微机型母线充电保护的原理框图如图2所示。

当母联断路器的TWJ由“1”变为“0”，或虽然母联断路器的TWJ=1但母联已有电流，或两母线均有电压，此三种状态说明母联断路器已处合闸位置，于是开放母联充电保护300ms，在充电保护开放期间，若母联任一相电流大于充电保护的电流定值，则说明母联断路器合于故障母线上，于是经过时间t延时跳母联断路器。

All things considered but measured first

It’s been noted frequently that electronic circuits are getting increasingly complex in design and have a bad tendency to attract microprocessors for no apparent reason. It seems logical because micros enable the amount of hardware to be reduced drastically while still offering flexibility in terms of functionality of the circuit — in other words, you just program in what you think you might need. No soldering, no parts purchasing. Great, electronics gone all digital! Just deal with ones and zeroes, no problems with analogue signals that vary in level just by pointing at a PCB track. Tough luck. Any digital circuit that somehow needs to communicate with the outside world, is again using analogue signals. It’s because our real world simply isn’t digital — in between all kinds of extremes like ‘on’ and ‘off’, ‘all’ and ‘nothing’, ‘hot’ and ‘cold’, ’dark’ and ‘light’, there’s a whole range of gradations (well, with a few exceptions). So what does a digital circuit do to communicate with the real world? The analogue value measured by a sensor is first translated into a digital value (by an A/D converter) before it can be processed by digital electronics. Likewise, at the output of the circuit it is often necessary to convert digital back to analogue, usually with the help of a D/A converter or a PWM control. These considerations were spurred by the very contents of this February 2012 edition, which contains several projects that seem to happily combine the analogue and digital realms. Fine examples are the new software for the enhanced Pico C meter, the interface for wideband lambda probe, and the dynamics processor discussed in the Audio DSP Course. The above ADC-digital-DAC method applies to all of these, and more. Never disregard the analogue bits in your digital circuit — although not MSB, they’re still highly significant.
