  • Patent number: 5729477
    Abstract: A method of eliminating a disturbing component from a periodic signal. The method includes the steps performing at least two measurements on the signal at two distinct instants, calculating the parameters of the disturbing component on the basis of the measurements, and subtracting the disturbing component from the signal. The invention is applicable to making an electronic capacitor voltage transformer comprising a capacitor divider constituted by a high tension capacitor and a low tension capacitor. The transformer includes a microprocessor programmed to perform the above method on the signal from the low tension capacitor.

  • Patent number: 5444599
    Abstract: A capacitor having high stability with temperature comprising a cylindrical metal body, a cylindrical high tension electrode coaxial with the body and placed inside it, and at least two low tension electrodes constrained to remain in contact against the inside wall of the body via an intervening insulating layer, said electrodes being disposed symmetrically about the geometrical axis of the body, said low tension electrodes being held in place by retaining means that allow them to expand freely, the dielectric medium extending between the high tension electrode and the low tension electrodes being a gas or a vacuum, the expansion coefficient .alpha.c of the body being equal to the expansion coefficient .alpha.h of the high tension electrode, and the expansion coefficient .alpha.c of the body material being related to the expansion coefficient .alpha.b of the material of the low tension electrodes by the following inequalities:1.5<.alpha.b/.alpha.c<2.

  • Patent number: 5414400
    Abstract: A Rogowski coil comprising at least one printed circuit plate provided with a circular cutout, the coil being implemented by rectilinear metal deposits on each of the two faces of the plate and extending along radii such that geometrical projections thereof intersect in the center of said cutout, electrical connections between the radii on one face and those on the opposite face being implemented by plated through holes that pass through the thickness of the plate.
