  • Publication number: 20230109760
    Abstract: An electric device comprises a first and second voltage sensor, a current sensor, an actuator and a controller. The first voltage sensor senses a first voltage at a first contact of a switch inside the electric device and generates a first voltage signal indicating the first voltage, the first contact of the switch coupled to a source line. The second voltage sensor senses a second voltage at a second contact of the switch and generates a second voltage signal indicating the second voltage, the second contact is coupled to a reactive component. The current sensor senses a current at the second contact of the switch and generates an output signal indicating the current. The controller is coupled to the voltage sensors, the current sensor and the actuator and causes, based on at least one of the voltage and current signals, the actuator to actuate one of the contacts to execute switching at a predetermined point of the first voltage.

  • Publication number: 20230086911
    Abstract: Embodiments of present disclosure relates to a method for monitoring vacuum interrupter’s condition of an electric device. The method comprises receiving a first voltage signal indicating a first voltage at a first contact of a switch inside the electric device. The first contact of the switch is coupled to a source line. The method further comprises receiving a second voltage signal indicating a second voltage at a second contact of the switch. The second contact of the switch is coupled to a reactive component. The method comprises receiving a current signal indicating a current at the second contact of the switch. The method comprises determining occurrence of a restrike in response to determining increasing amplitudes of the first voltage signal, the second voltage signal and the current signal in a time slot. The method further comprises determining the vacuum interrupter condition based on the determined occurrence of the restrike.

  • Patent number: 11605501
    Abstract: The present invention refers to HV apparatus, in particular a HV dry current transformer, insulated with an insulating gel, or a voltage transformer, insulated with an insulating gel. The dry HV current transformer comprises at least two electrically conductive elements i.e. a head transformer cover, a head housing base, a core casing and a primary conductor. In the dry HV current transformer at least one of the electrically conductive elements has a coating made of solid insulating material separating the surface of the conductive elements from the insulating gel and adapted for limiting the electron emission from the conductive elements into the insulating gel. The voltage transformer comprises a bottom external housing, a bottom support flange, a core.

  • Patent number: 11211190
    Abstract: The subject of the present application is a cover for distribution transformer filled with a dielectric liquid, equipped with electronic device integrated with the cover which is applied for transmission and distribution of electric energy. The cover is characterized in that the electronic device is immersed in the dielectric liquid filling a cooling compartment fixed on the cover; the cooling compartment has side walls, a top wall and a bottom wall which bottom wall is matched in the window made in the cover and the bottom wall forms a thermal barrier between the interior of the electric power device and the interior of the cooling compartment and the both interiors of the cooling compartment and of the electric power device are hermetically closed together.

  • Patent number: 8683753
    Abstract: The subject of the invention is an enclosure for secondary distribution modular switchgears, applicable in protecting switchgears both against adverse weather conditions and against unauthorized inspections of high, medium and low voltage switch gear, and also against accidental access by unauthorized persons, or by wild animals and birds. The inventive enclosure containing a base-frame (3) to which the enclosure walls are attached and which is provided with a roof cover is characterized in that the base frame (3) is formed by a metal truss and contains two extreme base-frame modules, the left one (20) and the right one (23,) and at least one middle module (21 and/or (22) which are connected with one another by means of a pair of permanent connections formed by a socket (27a) and a prong (27b) and fastening and earthing plates (28a, 28b).
