Masters / PhD in Electrical Engineering

[Ingenieur]

Welcome But trust me, you are already very far.


What are traveling waves?


Its not punishment imo, knowledge is power. I am thinking for one day going for a PhD, but will see. Converting a countries power system to HVDC takes a good understanding of everything at hand.

Traveling wave in simplest terms is an electromagnetic pulse (ie current/voltage) that propogates in a conductor

in steady state current is uniform, more or less, in a conductor
a transient is a wave/impulse that varies in mag vs time/location

one of the classes I took was HVDC/FACTS
I was surprised how much dc is out there and for how long

to say the man knows his stuff is a monumental understatement

Better pay, better working conditions, more respect.

You do have to take on a job that actually will offer that kind of pay. If you are a journeyman electrician and remain in a journeyman job position even though you have a high level degree, the pay typically levels out well below what most holding such degrees are looking for. If you start your own business - you can make whatever you want to make - presuming you run a successful business, but the catch there is you don't necessarily need the degree, though at least some of what you learned earning that degree may help you.

Wow! Lucky him and lucky you. By chance does that book come in PDF? If not it will be on my list.


Is this the same concept as mentioned?

I must admit the concept looks like something out of the future.

Many utilities are installing traveling wave detection systems as a means of fault location. As you've seen with the SEL product above, we're starting to see traveling waves used in protection as well.

Is there a joke somewhere about the traveling wave and the farmer's daughter...?

very interesting
I have a midterm tomorrow
I'll try to digest it afterwards
I could see it being very accurate and fast fault location

I'm a supervising engineer for an EPC substation contractor. I've yet to see anyone install SEL's relay yet.

Maybe for your POCOs, but in some POCOs SEL is the Iphone/Cadillac of relays.

I didn't mean they're not installing SEL relays, I meant I haven't seen anyone install the T400L. Easily 80% of the relays I install are SEL.

Oh, my bad :ashamed1: Thats me when speed reading :lol::ashamed: If I am correct the T400L is just coming out now, so its unlikely anyone single person would see it in service. As for the 80% of your relays being SEL, good choice my friend, good choice :thumbsup:
