Low–Power Commercial, Automotive, and Appliance Connections
Published in Paul G. Slade, Electrical Contacts, 2017
An insulation displacement connection (IDC) is also used as a method for attaching the cable to the terminal. As shown in Figure 6.7, the cable is fed into an IDC slot. During insertion, insulation to the cable is cut, the slot is forced to expand, and an electrical contact with the wire is made. Examples of such a termination method were reported in the literature [6–8]. The inherent advantage of IDC connection is the consistent contact force between the wire and the IDC slot. Also, such termination process is attractive for automation because the cables going to the same connector can be terminated simultaneously. On the other hand, crimping and soldering are done individually.

This article makes the following significant contributions: Develop a new proportional fractional integral derivative filter plus double derivative controller for multiple VSC MG systems to enhance system stability and robustness for parameter variations.A new memetic salp swarm algorithm (MSSA) is employed to tune the parameters of controller to ensure the optimal control operation.In the control loop of low voltage (LV) MG controllers, an improved droop controller (IDC) is introduced based on virtual power and virtual impedance.Compared to distributed controllers, the proposed method achieves a higher level of accuracy for controller activation, structure reconfiguration, and load change while remaining independent of the DG parameters.The practical realization of the proposed controller is validated in a real-time simulator (RTS) test bench using OPAL-RT 4510. This was done to develop a control scheme that is close to realistic and can be used by the power system right away.
