  • Patent number: 11594368
    Abstract: An assembly for connection to a high-voltage system has multiple single-phase transformers each having a transformer tank which is filled with a fluid and in which a core with at least one winding is situated. At least some of the windings of the single-phase transformers are connected to one another, forming a neutral point. A short-circuit voltage curve or impedance of the assembly can be adapted to different requirements. The windings are each connected to the neutral point via a switchover unit and a choke winding. The choke winding has multiple tappings, and the switchover unit is configured to select the tapping via which the winding in question is connected to the neutral point.

  • Patent number: 10895610
    Abstract: Measuring arrangement for detecting a magnetic unidirectional flux in the core of a transformer, wherein a sensor, formed from a ferromagnetic sensor core which is surrounded by a sensor coil, is arranged in a section of a core limb in a cooking channel, where the section is predefined by the width of the winding, or is arranged in an annular space, formed from an outer peripheral surface of the core limb and an inner peripheral surface of an associated transformer winding, such that a magnetic partial flux is diverted by the core limb and guided over at least one non-ferromagnetic gap.

  • Patent number: 10777350
    Abstract: An arrangement for reducing the radiation of noise from liquid-cooled transformers or chokes includes a tank having stiffeners arranged outside on the side walls of the tank, where a region situated between each stiffener is covered by a sandwich panel that is fastened to each stiffener, where each sandwich panel has a metallic wall that hermetically closes off a cavity that is filled with a composition composed of a polymer material and a filler material, where the composition has a specific weight of >2 grams per cubic centimeter.
