MINIMIZING THE EFFECTS OF VOLTAGE DISTURBANCES ON CONTINUOUS INDUSTRIAL-PROCESSES

The continuous industrial process considered to be within the scope of this paper is defined, Typical process plant reaction to power interr uption and voltage sags is described and the characteristics of the vo ltage sags experienced by continuous process plants are discussed, The reaction of process and motor control components is described, Method s of minimizing the adverse reaction to voltage disturbances by manipu lation of the control component circuit configuration and/or manipulat ion of the control power supply are presented.
