Abstract: A method operates a power converter having power converter arms, which are switchable between in each case an AC voltage side and a DC voltage side or connectable to phase lines of an AC voltage power supply system. Each power converter arm has a series circuit of switching modules each having a plurality of semiconductor switches and an energy store, in which at least one temperature value for the power converter is determined. A setpoint current limitation value is determined taking into consideration the temperature value, and a setpoint current value is determined taking into consideration the setpoint current limitation value. The temperature value, the arm setpoint current value, the arm actual current value and/or the arm setpoint current limitation value is time-integrated to form an arm integral value. When the arm integral value reaches or exceeds a predetermined arm integral threshold value, a protective measure is performed.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for determining an operational property of a drill-rod borehole pump. A load-distance diagram with curve points for the pump is ascertained by an analysis device and provided as an operational load-distance diagram with operational curve points. In a training mode, a model load-distance diagram with respective model curve points is provided, and normalized to a specified reference variable, and for at least one sub-quantity of the model curve points, a model is generated and trained on the basis of a Kohonen network with elliptical Fourier descriptors. In an operating mode, the operational curve points are normalized to the reference variable, elliptical Fourier descriptors are determined for the operational curve points, and checked to determine a similarity between the elliptical Fourier descriptors of the operational curve points and the model of the Kohonen network, and if so, the operational property of the pump is determined.

Abstract: A compensation structure for reducing circulating current in a window of a transformer, the transformer having a winding, a metal frame and leads located at one side of the frame and spaced apart from the frame. The frame has borders and an iron core located inside a window enclosed by the borders. The winding is provided around the iron core, wherein the compensation structure includes at least one compensator on the borders of the frame. The compensator is made of silicon steel sheets of a magnetic material, and the compensator separates at least a part of the borders of the frame from a part of the leads. The compensation structure separates iron structures between a high-voltage side and a low-voltage side, increases the impedance between the window circuit of the frame and the current circuit of external leads, thereby reducing the induced current within the frame and avoiding harmful effects.
