  • Electrical energy transmission device
    Patent number: 8138637
    Abstract: An electrical energy transmission device has phase conductors, which carry alternating current and have transfer impedance, and sheathed conductors, which are inductively coupled to the phase conductors. A first end and a second end of each sheathed conductor form a sheath circuit with a reactance. An electronic assembly for changing the impedance of the sheath circuit is provided. The electrical energy transmission device can be used flexibly given different demands placed on the energy transmission. The electronic assembly is also configured to increase the transfer impedance.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: March 20, 2012
    Assignee: Siemens Aktiengesellschaft
    Inventors: Gerhard Herold, Lutz Kirschner, Hermann Koch, Dietmar Retzmann
