  • Publication number: 20180180648
    Abstract: A voltage measurement system has a voltage measuring device connected to a device under test by a voltage divider to drop high voltages (e.g., peaking at or above 100 kilovolts) at a measurement point to lower levels for processing by a voltage measurement and wireless printed circuit board. The voltage measuring device communicates raw measurement data wirelessly (e.g., via Bluetooth®) to a remote device such as a mobile phone, laptop or portable meter head having a display and processing device programmed to calculate voltage measurements such has absolute average (ABS AVG), AC root mean square (RMS), +/?peak voltage, and AC or DC coupling. The remote device can wirelessly communicate with multiple voltage measuring devices to capture raw measurement data therefrom for voltage measurement applications with multiple measurement points (e.g., three-phase measurement, and transformer testing).

  • Patent number: 9222437
    Abstract: A transition duct for use in a turbine engine is provided. The transition duct includes a radially inner wall and a radially outer wall positioned about the radially inner wall defining a flow passage therebetween. The radially outer wall extends and is contoured from an upstream end to a downstream end of the transition duct. As such, the slope of the radially outer wall increases from the upstream end to a predetermined axial location and decreases from the predetermined axial location to the downstream end.

  • Patent number: 7870719
    Abstract: A plasma enhanced rapidly expanded duct system includes a gas turbine engine inter-turbine transition duct having radially spaced apart conical inner and outer duct walls extending axially between a duct inlet and a duct outlet. A conical plasma generator produces a conical plasma along the outer duct wall. An exemplary embodiment of the conical plasma generator is mounted to the outer duct wall and including radially inner and outer electrodes separated by a dielectric material. The dielectric material is disposed within a conical groove in a radially inwardly facing surface of the outer duct wall. An AC power supply is connected to the electrodes to supply a high voltage AC potential to the electrodes.
