AI Thread Summary
Psti and Plti values are affected by the transposition of measured Pst and Plt from low voltage (LV) to high voltage (HV) due to the nature of power-line flicker, which is caused by rapid voltage fluctuations. These fluctuations occur because of the changing load current on the power supply, and they are not significantly mitigated during the LV to HV transformation. The discussion emphasizes that flicker is a multi-cycle effect, and there is no mechanism to store energy in the step-up transformer to reduce it. To effectively minimize flicker from static inverters, a solution akin to a synchronous motor with a heavy flywheel would be necessary. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for managing power quality in energy distribution networks.

Do Psti and Plti values decrease when the measured Pst and Plt (@LV) is transposed to HV?

Could you provide a context to this question?

Welcome to PF.
I guess the subject is; The quality of AC power. Flicker emission limits for energy users on a power distribution network.
Pst; short term parameter.
Plt; long term parameter.
Power-line flicker is a visible change in brightness of a lamp due to rapid fluctuations in the voltage of the power supply. The voltage drop is generated over the source impedance of the grid by the changing load current of an equipment or facility. These fluctuations in time generate flicker.

Flicker is a multi-cycle effect. I see nowhere to store several cycles of energy in the step-up transformer. I therefore assume that flicker will not be significantly attenuated by the LV to HV transformation at the generation site.

To reduce flicker from static inverters would require something equivalent to a synchronous motor/generator, with a heavy flywheel.
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
