Patent number: 9711271Abstract: A planar transformer is provided, which comprises a plate-shaped conductor substrate with integrated primary winding, secondary winding and coupling winding. The conductor substrate has pairs of recesses, and a respective two-part ferromagnetic core having yoke legs is inserted through each pair of recesses. One leg of each core is surrounded by the primary winding or the secondary winding, while the coupling winding is looped around the remaining legs of the cores. At least a minimum total isolation separation distance made up of partial isolation separation distances between the coupling winding and adjacent yoke legs or adjacent windings is maintained for electrical isolation between the primary winding and the secondary winding.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2013Date of Patent: July 18, 2017Assignee: PHOENIX CONTACT GMBH & CO. KGInventor: Joerg Blanke

Patent number: 9300218Abstract: The invention relates to a signal (feed) separator for dead-zero or live-zero measurement signals. The signal (feed) separator has a primary-side (feed) input, a secondary-side output, a direct-current transformer for transferring primary-side measurement input current, an output stage for providing a secondary-side measurement output current, and an auxiliary energy feed-in for supplying the primary side and for supplying the secondary side. The auxiliary voltage of the auxiliary energy feed-in is controlled on the secondary side by a control device with the aid of a measuring device in such a way that the power loss of the output stage is substantially independent of a load connected in the operating state.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2011Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignee: PHOENIX CONTACT GMBH & CO. KGInventors: Heinz-W. Meier, Joerg Blanke

Patent number: 7859427Abstract: Arrangement and method for electrically isolated transmission of direct-current and alternating-current signals. The signals can be transmitted in both directions via the same and only DC-isolated channel. The arrangement comprises a first transmit-and-receive system (1), a direct-current transmitter (4) in short-circuit mode, an operational amplifier arrangement (5), and a second transmit-and-receive system (2) with a message signal transmitter (9).Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2007Date of Patent: December 28, 2010Assignee: Phoenix Contact GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Joerg Blanke, Heinz-Wilhelm Meier

Patent number: 7667563Abstract: The present invention relates in general to the field of interface technology. Electronic components, such as modular converters for measurement control and regulation technology, in particular isolation amplifiers, are known from interface technology. Such isolation amplifiers can be used for galvanic separation, conversion, amplification and filtering of standard, normal signals and for matching analog signals. These isolation amplifiers are galvanically separated from one another in the input, output and supply circuits. According to the invention, a separate component of a transformer is integrated for separation into a circuit board of an isolation amplifier with the aid of SMD mounting technology, wherein the transformer contains a combination of inductive components, consisting of a magnetic core and a winding, and a substrate which contains internal printed conductors that form planar short-circuit windings.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2006Date of Patent: February 23, 2010Assignee: Phoenix Contact GmbH & Co.
