Flyer SN Workshop 2013 Neutral Treatment - Arc Suppression Coil & Earth Fault Protection

This document announces a two-day workshop on arc suppression coils and earth fault protection hosted by Swedish Neutral AB. The workshop will provide an introduction to resonance grounding using arc suppression coils, which limit earth fault currents. It will include theoretical explanations and hands-on exercises using training equipment. The target audience is utilities and industries maintaining high voltage networks. Participants will gain an understanding of automatic tuning devices and earth fault locators used with arc suppression coils. The workshop will cover specifications, installation, and commissioning of these neutral treatment devices.

Workshop Neutral Treatment Arc Suppression Coil & Earth Fault Protection
An Arc Suppression Coil is a device that is connected to the transformer neutral to limit the capacitive
earth fault current flowing when an earth fault occurs in a high or medium voltage network. This method
of system grounding is called resonance grounding. Resonance grounding has been used in Central and
Eastern Europe as well as in the Scandinavian countries for many decades. The Arc Suppression Coil was
invented in 1917 by Waldemar Petersen and is therefore also referred to as a Petersen Coil. The Petersen
coil chokes the fault current below the level of self-extinction for overhead networks (< 35A). By this
action all transient faults in overhead networks can be cleared without feeder tripping. The basic principle
of the Arc Suppression Coil has remained unchanged since 1917 and its excellent properties have been
mirrored by low outage rates in the networks where it has been used.
The Arc Suppression Coil in combination with automatic tuning and earth fault location provides the best
earth fault protection traditional neutral treatment has to offer.
Swedish Neutrals workshop Neutral Treatment Arc Suppression Coil & Earth Fault Protection offers a
concise introduction to these devices with theoretical introduction to a hands on approach with training
exercises in our own analogue Net Model.
Target Audience
Utilities distributing electricity in a high voltage network.
Industries maintaining their own high voltage network.
Goal of the Workshop
To gain good basic understanding of resonant earthing and hands on experience using and commissioning
the ASC with Automatic Tuning and Earth Fault Location.
Venue
The SN Workshop Neutral Treatment Arc Suppression Coil & Earth Fault Protection is held in Swedish
Neutrals facilities in Stockholm Kungsngen, Sweden.
