Design and Implementation of Single-Phase, Three-Level, Sub-Harmonic PWM Inverter with Short-Circuit Fault Detection
Abstract: This paper investigates the design and implementation of single-phase, three-level inverter controlled by sub-harmonic pulse-width modulation (SH-PWM). The performance of developed 3-level inverter is simulated and then is compared with 2-level conventional inverter as well as FFT analysis. Experimental test has been undertaken to examine the operating characteristics of the implemented inverter for supplying an inductive load. To increase the reliability of designed inverter in different applications, a short-circuit fault …

Detecting Winding Movement by Fuzzy Logic for Frequency Response of Power Transformer
Abstract: Power transformers are basically one of the most efficient devices that are used in Power Plant or in any substation. Its maintenance is bit some tedious but has to be done to diagnose any severe fault that may damage the transformer. Sweep Frequency Response Analysis (SFRA) is used to detect any winding or core deformation in transformer that would arise during transportation, due to severe short circuits or due to …

Fire Safety in Healthcare Facilities: An Indian Perspective
Abstract: Fire protection and safety measures in hospitals are of utmost importance to ensure the safety of patients, staff, and visitors. Due to the patients' limited mobility, hospitals are more susceptible to fire disasters. Short-circuits, basements being used as storehouse, inappropriate storage of flammable liquids, improper power supply load, false ceiling panel lined with thermocol, faulty electric wirings, and overheating leading to burning of wires are some of the common causes …
