  • Patent number: 11936193
    Abstract: A device for recovering energy from a single-phase power cable includes two phase conductors, a magnetic core, in the form of an openable torus, installed around the power cable to form a magnetic circuit able to pick up a magnetic field induced by a primary current passing through the phase conductors, a detection coil wound around the magnetic core, to induce a secondary voltage from the induced magnetic field and deliver across the coil an output voltage usable to power electrical systems, and a heterogeneous magnetic circuit to induce an asymmetrical magnetic flux flow in the magnetic circuit and maximize the output voltage of the detection coil.

  • Patent number: 11749425
    Abstract: A device for recovering electrical energy includes a ferromagnetic cable helically wound around a portion of a power conductor , and disposed to form both a magnetic system which is capable of sensing the magnetic field induced by a current passing through the power conductor , and a way to generate a utilisable induced voltage from this magnetic field. The ferromagnetic cable is produced from an assembly of unitary strands produced from ferromagnetic material, these strands being assembled into the form of a stranded wire, each unitary strand behaving as a winding in which the induced voltage is induced, and the assembly of unitary strands forming an assembly of windings connected in parallel by way of connecting terminals provided at the ends of the ferromagnetic cable to recover the induced voltage.

  • Patent number: 7905966
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of producing a strip of nanocrystalline material which is obtained from a wound ribbon that is cast in an amorphous state, having atomic composition [Fe1?a?bCoaNib]100?x?y?z??????CuxSiyBzNb?M??M??, M? being at least one of elements V, Cr, Al and Zn, and M? being at least one of elements C, Ge, P, Ga, Sb, In and Be, with: a ?0.07 and b ?0.1, 0.5 ?x ?1.5 and 2 ???5, 10?y?16.9 and 5?z?8, ??2 and ??2. According to the invention, the amorphous ribbon is subjected to crystallization annealing, in which the ribbon undergoes annealing in the unwound state, passing through at least two S-shaped blocks under voltage along an essentially longitudinal axial direction of the ribbon, such that the ribbon is maintained at an annealing temperature of between 530° C. and 700° C. for between 5 and 120 seconds and under axial tensile stress of between 2 and 1000 MPa.
