  • Patent number: 8837116
    Abstract: The invention relates to a power switch cabinet of a device for producing electric energy. The technical object of obtaining optimum scalability and cooling of a power switch cabinet despite little space being required is achieved according to the invention in that the power switch cabinet has a machine connection, a power module and a mains connection, wherein the power module has a machine converter, a mains converter, a direct voltage intermediate circuit and a chopper, and the arrangement of the components substantially corresponds to the direction of the power flow.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8830658
    Abstract: The invention relates to a switch cabinet arrangement of a device for generating electrical energy, wherein the switch cabinet arrangement comprises at least two separate power switch cabinets. The technical object of achieving an optimum scalability of devices for generating electrical energy with at the same time a simple installation and maintenance of the power switch cabinets despite a small available installation space, is achieved according to the invention in that the power switch cabinets respectively comprise a machine connection, a power module, a mains connection and a decentralised control unit, wherein the power module comprises a machine converter, a mains converter, a direct voltage intermediate circuit and a chopper, and wherein the power switch cabinets are electrically connected in parallel to one another via the machine connection and the mains connection.

  • Patent number: 5796598
    Abstract: An electric circuit for the conversion of a multiplicity of commercial power voltages to a predetermined supply voltage which is independent of the respective commercial power voltage, for a device with high electrical power requirements of high output, in the range up to 40 kW, such as a bobbin winding machine. The circuit contains a rectifier stage for generating a primary intermediate circuit DC voltage, a converter stage with power switches for generating a rectangular AC voltage, a high-power transformer with a connected secondary control circuit and a control stage which triggers the power switches at zero voltage in a phase-shift mode with a variable frequency and pulse width of the rectangular AC voltage as a function of the input voltage of the rectifier stage, the transformer primary winding current and both the voltage and the current in the secondary intermediate circuit.
