  • Patent number: 9948199
    Abstract: An AC-AC converter system includes transformer arrangements and HVDC converter units on primary and secondary sides of the system, respectively. The system exhibits first and second three-phase AC networks, and the converter units are interconnected via a DC connection. By integrating at least part of two transformer arrangements in one transformer unit, a cost efficient transformer configuration can be achieved.

  • Patent number: 9672969
    Abstract: A high voltage electromagnetic induction device including: a lead-through device-receiving structure having an opening for receiving a lead-through device, a lead-through device extending through the opening, wherein an internal portion is tapering in a direction along the central axis of the lead-through device away from the opening, and an electrical insulation barrier which is arranged in the lead-through device-receiving structure, arranged around and distanced from the internal portion, and which electrical insulation barrier is tapering in the direction, whereby a duct is formed between the internal surface of the electrical insulation barrier and the external surface of the internal portion of the lead-through device, wherein the electrical insulation barrier is tapering relative to the lead-through device such that the distance between the internal surface of the electrical insulation barrier and the external surface of the lead-through device increases in the direction.

  • Patent number: 9167731
    Abstract: A high voltage shielding device including a main body having an enclosing outer solid insulating wall, an outer electrode arranged on the solid insulating wall providing a first level of insulation to the outer electrode, and a first inner electrode which is uninsulated or has a coating providing a second level of insulation, which second level of insulation is lower than the first level of insulation. The first inner electrode is oriented relative the outer electrode in such a way that the first inner electrode mainly shields a component of an electric field which is perpendicular to a component of an electric field mainly shielded by the outer electrode.

  • Patent number: 9099238
    Abstract: An insulation system for a winding structure. The insulation system includes an innermost barrier pair arranged to cover a majority of the winding structure in the axial direction of the winding structure inside and outside the barrier structure relative the curvature of winding turns of windings of the winding structure, wherein at least one barrier of the innermost barrier pair defines a first flow path allowing flow of a dielectric fluid mainly in a first axial direction between the winding structure and the at least one barrier when the insulation system is in a assembled state; and a first outer barrier arranged radially inwards or radially outwards relative each barrier of the innermost barrier pair, wherein the first outer barrier defines a second flow path, parallel to the first flow path, allowing flow of a dielectric fluid mainly in a second axial direction opposite the first axial direction.

  • Patent number: 8890005
    Abstract: A high voltage arrangement for a high voltage power system has an insulating structure which reduces the creep path. The insulating structure is arranged around the second conductor and has a continuous extension in an axial direction from a first end thereof providing insulation of essentially the entire length of the second conductor to a second end around the bushing portion, which second end extends around the bushing portion at least to a point where an electric potential of an external surface of the bushing portion is at most equal to the average of the potential of the first conductor and the potential of the interfacing plane when the high voltage arrangement is in use.

  • Patent number: 7994427
    Abstract: A high voltage insulation system for high-voltage direct current including a bushing, a conductor, a transformer conductor, and a connection between the conductor and the transformer conductor. A conductive shielding electrode shields the connection between the bushing and transformer. A surrounding insulation system is immersed in transformer oil. The surrounding insulation system includes transformer insulation material and bushing insulation material. A cylindrical solid insulation barrier encloses the connection between the bushing conductor and transformer conductor. At least one solid insulation barrier is fastened on the outer side of the shielding electrode. The at least one solid insulation barrier extends in an axial direction outside the axial direction of the shielding electrode and forms a distance to the insulation material of the bushing and the insulation material of the transformer, whereby a moderate voltage drop over the solid insulation barrier is obtained.
