  • Patent number: 10598721
    Abstract: A mobile tester is provided for “Very Low Frequency” (VLF) testing of a measurement object, which has means for generating an AC voltage which has an effective amplitude of greater than or equal to 1 kV and a frequency in the range of between 0.01 and 1 Hz, a connection element for connecting the measurement object, and means for measuring and evaluating the test voltage applied to the measurement object and the test current caused thereby. In a first operating mode, the tester autonomously carries out a VLF test using the test voltage generated. The tester also has a communication interface for emitting a synchronization signal or for receiving an externally generated synchronization signal, and the tester is set up, in a second operating mode, to synchronize the generated test voltage with the test voltage generated by at least one further tester of the same type.

  • Patent number: 10191100
    Abstract: A high-powered, high-voltage test device for generating a test voltage, wherein the test voltage is an alternating voltage having an amplitude of at least 100 kV at a power of greater than 1 kW, wherein the device has at least two voltage amplifier branches, of which a first voltage amplifier branch contributes to generating the positive voltage half-cycles of the test voltage and a second voltage amplifier branch contributes to generating the negative voltage half-cycles of the test voltage. The high-voltage test device furthermore has a measurement circuit for measuring the test voltage to be applied to a measurement object and the test current consequently caused in the measurement object and is characterized in that each voltage amplifier branch is installed in a separate assembly having integrated active air cooling.

  • Patent number: 8552737
    Abstract: A high-voltage transformer for providing an alternating voltage in the kV range, comprising at least one secondary winding wound on a coil carrying body surrounding a transformer core, and an insulation housing encapsulating the secondary winding is provided to electrically insulate the secondary winding. Said insulation housing is walled by the coil carrying body carrying the secondary winding and by an enveloping body made of plastic and enveloping the secondary winding so that an annular gap is formed, wherein the annular gap between the secondary winding and the enveloping body is filled with an insulating fluid. The annular gap has a gap width of less than or equal to 20 mm viewed in the cross-section, and the enveloping body has a wall thickness of less than or equal to 20 mm, wherein the plastic is polypropylene, and a separate expansion volume is not provided for the insulating fluid.
