Patent number: 10615592Abstract: A method for reducing the inrush current of an inductive load, particularly a transformer, comprising the following steps: a) connecting a DC power source to the transformer for a time tc, to magnetize its magnetic core until saturation is reached, and connecting the transformer to the AC mains via an electromechanical switch, in an initially open position; b) disconnecting the transformer from the DC power source, the magnetic flux being reduced to its residual value; c) closing the electromechanical switch to complete the connection, this connection point being determined by the phase angle selected from the sinusoidal signal of the voltage power lines, in such a way that magnetic flux corresponding to the steady state voltage equals the residual magnetic flux that remains when the transformer is disconnected from the DC power source.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2014Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: INDRA SISTEMAS, S.A.Inventor: Farzad Fotrousi

Patent number: 8589131Abstract: This procedure proposes the appropriate equations that determine the rotor movement in order to obtain the aerodynamic actions for each blade in each iteration (the forces that are transmitted to the helicopter and the moments with respect to the articulations), and they are resolved by discretizations made in the rotor disc, such that that the blade elements of the partition are connected to the disc, which does not rotate, instead of to each blade. The blades pass through an azimuth range in each iteration, making a division of each blade longitudinally into ne elements, and the rotor disc into na sectors, corresponding to divisions of the range of azimuth angles. Therefore, partitions are made on ne·na blade elements, identifying each blade element by means of its distance to the rotor axis and its azimuth angle.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2007Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: Indra Sistemas, S.A.Inventor: Miguel Gonzalez Cuadrado
