Abstract: A system for evaluating the performance of an electrical filter installed on an electrical power supply network passing through the screening of a Faraday enclosure, includes a transmit device for transmitting an inlet electrical pulse to the inlet of the filter. A receive and processing unit receives and processes the response electrical signal at the outlet of the filter corresponding to the pulse. A display displays the results obtained by processing the signal. The inlet electrical pulse is coupled to the power supply network and is conveyed thereby through the filter. The response is obtained from the outlet of the filter by decoupling.

Abstract: A variable inductor provided with an inlet electrode and an outlet electrode, and including an inductive section having one end connected to the inlet electrode, electrically conductive moving equipment being provided with a moving contact for establishing a connection with the inductor section and being provided with means for connection to the outlet electrode, the inductor being wherein the moving contact is disposed in the proximity of the inductive section, with the connection therebetween is established by means of an electric arc.
