Oscillograph Analysis
Most technically oriented people recognize the familiar 60Hz voltage and current traces that constitute the parameters of an operating power system. There are, however, transient components superimposed on the 60Hz waveform in the form of spikes and higher and lower frequencies that accompany faults and other switching events.
Analyzing Power System And Equipment Performance Through Oscillographic RecordsThese are revealed in the oscillographic records and are an essential element in analyzing power system and equipment performance. A publication ‘Computer Relaying for Power Systems, Research Studies’ by Phadke, A.G. and Thorp, J.S. is available that presents a comprehensive review of the techniques involved in this analysis.

Hi, I'm an electrical engineer, programmer and founder of EEP - Electrical Engineering Portal. I worked twelve years at Schneider Electric in the position of technical support for low- and medium-voltage projects and the design of busbar trunking systems.I'm highly specialized in the design of LV/MV switchgear and low-voltage, high-power busbar trunking (<6300A) in substations, commercial buildings and industry facilities. I'm also a professional in AutoCAD programming.
