  • Patent number: 9804219
    Abstract: A testing container includes a right-parallelepiped-like container, electrical components of a transformer test system which are arranged in the container and which represent a respective heat source during a testing operation, and a cooling system including at least one heat exchanger. In addition, the testing container includes a movement apparatus configured to move the at least one heat exchanger from a transport position within the container into a working position which is located at least partially outside the container. Thus, the at least one heat exchanger is movable by means of the movement apparatus from the transport position within the container into the working position which is located at least partially outside the container.

  • Patent number: 8502543
    Abstract: The embodiments relate to a test configuration for an impulse voltage test of electric high-voltage components with a lightning generator. The lightning generator can be moved between a first horizontal position within a cuboid container, and a vertical position relative to the container. A movement between the two positions includes a pivoting movement about a rotational axis. The proofing movement is transverse to the longitudinal direction of the lightning generator. The container can be closed at the top by at least one moveable cover.

  • Patent number: 8487637
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments are directed to a test arrangement for testing surge voltage in electrical high voltage components with a surge voltage generator and a voltage distributor. The surge voltage generator and voltage distributor have a tower-like structure with a first and a second structure end. A rectangular container is connected to the first and second structure and includes a first and a second container end. At least one of the surge voltage generator and the voltage distributor are movable between a first substantially horizontal position inside the container and a substantially vertical position relative to the container. Each movement between the two positions involves a pivot motion about a rotational axis perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the surge voltage generator.
