While front-end ac-dc converters have changed significantly in terms of efficiency, density, and regulations, power factor issues continue to encumber the users of these supplies. It affects the ac ...
European field monitoring programs and subsequent laboratory investigations have shown that excessive cathodic protection (CP), combined with induced AC, enhances the risk of corrosion. Increasing the ...
Alternating current (AC) corrosion represents a significant challenge for pipeline integrity, particularly where high-voltage power lines and electrified railways coexist with buried pipelines. The ...
Based on a presentation to the 6th International Conference on Pipeline Rehabilitation & Maintenance, Berlin, Oct. 6-10, 2003. Buried pipe- lines that parallel high-voltage lines are inductively ...
