Abstract: The invention relates to a thermometer, especially for determining the winding temperature of an electric power transformer. The invention is characterised in that, in a thermometer for determining the winding temperature of an electric power transformer, an electric temperature sensor, a mechanical temperature sensor and a heating element are arranged inside a coupling part formed from a heat-conductive material, and an insulating sleeve consisting of a thermally stable material is provided between an outer wall of the coupling part and an inner wall of the housing, the housing, the insulating sleeve and the coupling part forming a coaxial structure without leaving any air gaps such that thus definable heat transfers are generated between the individual components, namely the coupling part, the insulating sleeve and the tubular housing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a flow monitor for monitoring the flow of flowing media, wherein a paddle projecting into the flow transfers the rotating movement of the paddle onto a display device by means of a magnetic gear comprising a plurality of individual magnets corresponding with each other.

Abstract: A pressure-relief valve has a housing having an annular flange defining a pressure-vent hole centered on an axis and having an axially directed end face and a radially outwardly directed outer surface. A cap can fit axially over the flange in a closed position and has a skirt radially juxtaposed with the outer surface in the closed position. A spring braced axially between the cap and the housing urges the cap into the closed position. A first annularly continuous seal secured to the end face axially bears on and hermetically engages the cap in the closed position. A second annular seal secured to the outer surface has an outer edge elastically engaging the skirt in the closed position and formed with a notch through which fluid trapped between the first and second seals in the closed position can drain.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling a heatable dehumidifier. The heating of the dehumidifier is to be actuated only when several congruent time windows within which a temperature gradient is greater than or equal to 0 could be determined during a certain period of time, i.e. the heating is to be actuated only when no air flows into the interior of the expansion vessel of the transformer.

Abstract: An electric power apparatus has a oil-filled vessel in which a float is connected to a float shaft that rotates as the float rises and falls with the level of oil. A level indicator has a display shaft extending along and pivotal about an axis, and coupled to the float shaft. An indicia display adjacent the shaft is swept by a pointer fixed on the shaft and juxtaposed with the indicia display go that the level of the oil in the vessel is indicated by the pointer. A disk fixed to the shaft has an outer periphery with a region of a shape having a radius varying angularly from one end of the region to an opposite end of the region. A noncontact proximity sensor is radially spacedly juxtaposed with the region of the disk for producing an output corresponding to the radial distance between the region and the sensor.
