5. A few examples of possible locations in networks and feeders

Current limiters can be placed at many points on a conventional electrical network. Here are just a few examples.

In many cases, the limiter makes it possible to significantly increase the short-circuit power S cc with the following advantages:

  • improved voltage quality. Voltage drops (Z cc I = 3 E 2 I/S cc (I: current), see equation (1) ) and therefore voltage variations are reduced. Harmonic disturbances or pollution linked to arc furnaces,...
