Abstract:
The paper presents the results of the monitoring process of the charging of an electric vehicle battery pack. Battery pack charging with a capacity of 58kWh was monitored in a single-phase 230V/50Hz circuit. The slow charging system used was configured to obtain a current of 10A. During monitoring, the focus was on the recognition of the charging, considering the impact of this process on power quality and, consequently, on the reliability of electrical machines. Research results show that the monitored charges are one-, two-, or three-stage processes. The variations in the currents, power, and higher harmonic contents were observed. The effects of such variations depend on the properties of the power grid at the point of connection of the charging system. Knowledge of the variation of the voltages, currents, and active and reactive power allows for the determination of the requirements of the measuring equipment used for charging the monitoring, including the selection of discrimination/averaging time of monitored quantities. The research results also indicate the need for continuous monitoring of the power quality in the power supply circuit of electrical loads, e.g., electrical machines. Continuous monitoring supports the diagnostics of electrical machines and allows the appropriate measures to increase their reliability.

Charging Conductors By Induction
Generally, conductors like metals do not allow any excess charge to be present on them. Any excess charge added to metals easily flows away, for example, when a metal is placed on the Earth. This process is called earthing.
However, conductors can be charged by a process called induction. For example, consider charging a...

Charge and Current
Charge is an inherent property of the atomic particles that make up matter and is measured in units called coulombs (C). Matter is composed of atoms, each consisting of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Electrons have a negative charge (-e), while protons...
