THE DETERMINATION OF THE KIND OF PHASE-TO-PHASE SHORT CIRCUIT IN CURRENT LINE PROTECTION OF 6–35 KV by F. A. Romaniuk, O. A. Huryanchyk, M. A. Shevaldin, V. S. Kachenya

“…When failures are superpositioned, one of which is on one of the parallel lines near the common bus and the other second on the monitored bus, the kind of the SC, determined by any of the proposed methods may differ from the actual one. It depends on the types of resulting failures, the combinations of shutting phases, the steady-state current distribution in the network and other factors. …”

Roadway Deformation and Control under Multidisturbed Secondary High Stress by Xiaoguang Sun, Haibin Wang, Xiaofang Wo, Zhimeng Sun, Wenliang Sun, Chunge Li

“…Aiming at the serious deformation and failure of mining roadway under the condition of high secondary stress in Xuchang Coal Mine, Shandong Province, the deformation law of surrounding rock under the influence of high secondary stress in the original support belt transport roadway was analyzed by the method of field measurement and numerical simulation, and the control scheme of surrounding rock was put forward. According to the actual site conditions of 3318 working face belt transport drift in Xuchang Coal Mine, this paper proposed a new bolt-net support technology scheme with high strength, high stiffness, and asymmetric characteristics and obtained through numerical simulation analysis: (1) when the 3318 working face begins to mining, the distribution of the maximum principal stress in the surrounding rock of the roadway changes from weak symmetry to strong asymmetry, especially the maximum principal stress in the surrounding rock of the two sides; (2) the superposition effect of leading abutment pressure, lateral abutment pressure, and fault structure has a strong influence on the distribution of the maximum principal stress of roadway surrounding rock. …”
