TYPES OF ABSORBENT PROTECTIVE DEVICES FOR THE POWER CONSUMERS ON THE BASIS OF MICROPROCESSOR TECHNOLOGY
The article focuses on the fact that in the conditions of the constant arising natural and anthropogenic electromagnetic effects there are possible disturbances in the operation modes of electric power systems, accompanied by electric power supply shortages. While overcommutating power-supply circuits and consumers, switching surge voltage (SSV) takes place. The author reviews advanced technological solutions to ensure the electromagnetic compatibility of power supply system (PSS) equipment and the consumers' electrics with the use of protective devices like an absorbent with voltage-variable resistors.
