  • Patent number: 9799576
    Abstract: A monitoring method that can detect a sign of disconnection of a heat generation source is provided. Further, a highly reliable semiconductor device is provided. The monitoring method uses a first control device that samples outputs of a plurality of thermometers at a first frequency (100 Hz sampling in S10) and controls a plurality of heat generation sources based on temperature information obtained by sampling, and a second control device that forms information based on temperature information obtained by sampling at the first frequency (100 Hz sampling in S20) and pieces of heat-generation-source information obtained by sampling of outputs of the respective heat-generation sources at the first frequency (100 Hz sampling in S20). Based on the temperature information obtained by sampling at the first frequency (100 Hz sampling in S20) and the pieces of heat-generation-source information obtained by sampling at the first frequency (100 Hz sampling in S20), states of the heat generation sources are monitored.

  • Patent number: 8804298
    Abstract: The present invention is provided to satisfy insulation and conductivity performance requirements, to reduce the size of a gas insulated bus, and also to make conditioning for a particle more reliable. In a gas insulated bus having a conductor supported in a cylindrical metal container via an insulator, insulating gas being contained in the metal container, the metal container has an expanded diameter part formed over a given range in an area of the metal container in which the insulator is positioned and a reduced diameter part formed over the entire area of the metal container except for the expanded diameter part. Thus, when the temperature of the insulator increases during conduction, heat from the insulator is transferred to the metal container via a large space in the expanded diameter part and released to the air through a large outer surface of the expanded diameter part of the metal container.

  • Patent number: 7256584
    Abstract: In the measurement of partial discharge, a voltage detected by an antenna is input to a spectrum analyzer and a phase difference between an operating voltage and a power supply of the spectrum analyzer is obtained by phase domain analysis using the spectrum analyzer. Based on the phase difference and the voltage phase shift associated with the input impedance of a signal converter circuit, the time axis displayed on the screen of the spectrum analyzer is compensated. After the compensation has been carried out, the voltage detected by the antenna is input into the spectrum analyzer and the partial discharge pattern which synchronizes with the operating voltage is measured by phase domain analysis using the spectrum analyzer.

  • Publication number: 20050285604
    Abstract: A thin film detection electrode is formed on an insulating substrate. The resulting detection electrodes are light-weight, and have a very high dimensional accuracy so that the number of the parts supporting the detection electrodes is small and the size of the detection electrodes becomes very small. By an increase in the dimensional accuracy of the detection electrodes, reduction in insulating properties due to a water content in a insulating gas can be measured in addition to measurement of electromagnetic wave.

  • Patent number: 6560091
    Abstract: In order to shorten the length of connection buses and reduce a cost, in the present invention, a plurality of T-branched circuit breaker units 12 are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the T-branch direction, and the plurality of circuit breaker units 12 are connected by first connection bus units 14 and second connection bus units 15 in series alternately in a rectangular wave shape on a horizontal plane of approximately the same height as the T-branch portions of the circuit breaker units 12. Thereby, first connection buses 5 and second connection buses 6 are stretched around on the horizontal plane of the same height as the T-branch portions of the circuit breaker units 12, but not stretched around in an up and down direction. Therefore, the length of the connection buses can be reduced, and the cost also can be reduced.
