  • Patent number: 11965925
    Abstract: A test device to localize a partial discharge in or at an electrical component may include at least one antenna to capture an electromagnetic wave caused by a partial discharge in the electrical component. The test device includes multiple microphones arranged in an environment around the electrical component. The microphones capture sound waves caused by the partial discharge. It is examined if an intensity of the electromagnetic wave exceeds a first limit value and/or the intensity of the sound wave captured by one of the multiple microphones exceeds a second limit value. Depending on the captured sound wave and/or the electromagnetic wave and on the examination relating to the first and/or second limit value, a location of the partial discharge can be determined.

  • Patent number: 8908337
    Abstract: A current transformer configuration includes a primary part and a secondary part. The primary part is surrounded by a housing. The housing has a first conductive housing part and a second conductive housing part. An electrically insulating gap lies between the two conductive housing parts. The housing passes through the secondary part. The electrically insulating gap is bridged by a surge protection configuration.

  • Patent number: 8119946
    Abstract: An electrical switching device has a displaceable contact piece mounted on an encapsulated housing. The displaceable contact piece extends within and outside of the encapsulated housing. The displaceable contact piece is sealed gas-proof in relation to the encapsulated housing. For forming a gas-proof transition, first and second sealing elements are provided, which, as axial sealing elements, are alternately pressed against the encapsulated housing by peripheral collars of the displaceable contact piece. A third sealing element is provided for sealing the displaceable contact piece in a radial direction.

  • Patent number: 8115132
    Abstract: A heavy-duty circuit breaker has a housing with a longitudinal housing axis and a contact arrangement disposed in the housing. The contact arrangement is conductively connected to a first electrical lead fed through the housing and a second electrical lead fed through the housing. The housing comprises a first housing part and a second housing part. The first electrical lead is fed through the first housing part, and the second electrical lead through the second housing part. The two housing parts are connected together so as to be rotatable in opposite directions about the longitudinal housing axis.

  • Publication number: 20080217154
    Abstract: A contact assembly for a grounding switch or circuit breaker includes a first and second contact piece. The two contact pieces can be displaced in relation to one another. At least one of the contact pieces is allocated to a limiting element, which restricts a deflection of the contact piece transversely to the displacement path. When closed, the limiting element connects the second contact piece to a support element.

  • Patent number: 6410873
    Abstract: In a high-voltage power breaker having two mutually opposite switching contacts which, when connected are surrounded by an insulating material nozzle, coaxially with respect to which a shielding electrode is arranged, with a first switching contact, which can be driven, being connected via the insulating material nozzle and a linkage to the second switching contact, such that said switching contact carries out a movement in the opposite direction to the first switching contact during operation of the latter, the shielding electrode is operatively connected to the second switching contact such that, during disconnection, it carries out a movement which controls the electric field in the switching gap.

  • Patent number: 4833864
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for closing containers with a cover foil. In the method and with the apparatus of the invention, the containers are conveyed without change in vertical position and without stopping between rotation systems bearing the closure tools and rotating above and below the plane of the conveyor belt, and provided with covers.

  • Patent number: 4807423
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for feeding covers to a continuously operating container closing machine. The device makes it possible continuously to feed covers to closure tools which revolve in a circular path and during their rotary movement descend, for the closing, onto containers moved past below the closing station, so that the closure tools place and close the covers on the containers. For the transfer of the covers, a cover guide path is moved over a certain region of the rotary movement of the closure tool synchronously and in alignment with the closure tools so that the covers can be delivered during this phase to the closure tool.

  • Patent number: 4629447
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing rectangular lids with a folded tear tab at each corner from a continuous web of foil using a cutting device to cut a generally perpendicular incision opposite each other in each edge of the foil web, a folding tool having two angled folding edges running toward each other in a direction toward the middle of the foil web and intersecting at a point in the cutting plane of the cutting device that folds the areas of foil on both sides of the incision back on themselves to form two tear tabs, and a cut-off device to cut the foil web into discrete lengths in continuation of the cuts in the edges of the web to form the lids.
