  • Patent number: 11774500
    Abstract: A method for detecting a tripping of a disconnection unit in an electrical enclosure, the electrical enclosure including at least one disconnection unit for disconnecting electric current and at least one switching unit for switching the electric current, the method including a learning phase configured to generate decision-making categories associated with an acoustic signature of the tripping of the at least one disconnection unit, and a phase of detecting the tripping of the disconnection unit, including: acquiring a unit noise signal generated by at least one of the disconnection units for disconnecting the electric current or at least one switching unit for switching the electric current, and comparing the unit noise signal with the decision-making categories in order to detect whether the unit noise signal corresponds to the tripping of the disconnection unit.

  • Patent number: 10443871
    Abstract: A method for determining the level of efficiency of a ventilation system of an electrical enclosure intended to house one or more electrical devices, the method including a learning step including a step for determining a profile of the power dissipated via the Joule effect by each electrical device, an evaluation step for evaluating the level of efficiency of the ventilation system, including a step for determining the average air flow rate of a fan from a profile of the temperature of the air outside the enclosure obtained over an evaluation period, a profile of the temperature of the air at the outlet of the enclosure, and the dissipated power profile determined during the learning step, a step for comparing the average air flow rate with one or more threshold values in order to determine the level of efficiency of the ventilation system.

  • Patent number: 9257824
    Abstract: An electric cabinet comprising an outer frame defining the general shape of the electric cabinet and an inner frame comprising fixing uprights and cross-members, a functional assembly fixed onto the inner frame and comprising a plurality of functional units each equipped with a mounting plate designed to receive one or more electric equipment units. The mounting plates are fixed onto the uprights and fixing cross-members in contiguous manner to form a separating partition delineating a first space located towards the front part and a second space located towards the rear part. The functional assembly comprises at least one support fixed in independent manner onto an upright or a cross-member of the inner frame and a connector arranged on the support, the support being positioned on the upright or fixing cross-member so as to enable the connector to pass through an opening made through the mounting plate.
