  • Patent number: 10608523
    Abstract: A 12-phase static electrical transformer rectifier including a transformer and first and second three-phase rectifier circuits for coupling to a load, the transformer including a primary circuit having three primary coils arranged in a star configuration and a secondary circuit including three first secondary coils and three second secondary coils that are distinct from the first secondary coils. The secondary circuit of the transformer includes a loop of six secondary coils formed by electrically connecting together the three first secondary coils and the three second secondary coils of the secondary circuit.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9969341
    Abstract: The invention relates to an assistance device (17) for an electrical power generation system (11) of an aircraft, said system (11) comprising a generator (13), a regulator (14) and a contactor (15) comprising contacts and an actuator for opening/closing the contacts which is controlled by said regulator (14) and arranged between the generator (13) and a distribution architecture (12), the assistance device being characterized in that it is connected to at least one power source (18) which is separate from the generator (13) and the regulator (14), and in that it comprises means for closing the contactor which are suitable for connecting the power source (18) to the actuator (23) of the contactor (15) in order to provide the current necessary for closing said contactor (15).

  • Patent number: 8743520
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for protecting a multi-phase autotransformer for an aircraft, including the steps of receiving (100) values of current output from (Ia, Ib) the first and second phases and a value of current input into (IB) the second phase; determining (101), from these received values of the second phase, a value of current representative of the operation (IFb) of the second phase; determining (102), as a function of this determined value and of the value of current output from (Ia) the first phase, a value representative of the homopolar current (Idet-a) flowing in the first phase; comparing (104) this value of homopolar current (Idet-a) with a first predetermined threshold value (S1) at least during a first predetermined period (D1); and controlling (106) the values of currents input into (IA, IB) and/or output from (Ia, Ib) the phases as a function of the said first comparison.

  • Patent number: 8730633
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed towards a method for protecting a multi-phase autotransformer for an aircraft including the steps of receiving values of current input into and output from the first and second phases; determining, as a function of these received values, values of current representative of the operation of the phases; determining, as a function of these determined values, a value representative of a homopolar current flowing in the first phase; comparing, in a first comparison, the value representative of the homopolar current flowing in the first phase with a first predetermined threshold value; and controlling the values of current input into the phases as a function of the first comparison.

  • Publication number: 20130057059
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for protecting a multi-phase autotransformer for an aircraft, including the steps of receiving (100) values of current input into and output from (IA, IB, Ia, Ib) the first and second phases; determining (101), as a function of these received values, values of current representative of the operation (IFa, IFb) of these phases; determining (102), as a function of these determined values, a value representative of the homopolar current (Idet-a) flowing in the first phase; comparing this value of homopolar current with a first predetermined threshold value (D2); controlling (113) the values of current input into (IA, IB) the phases as a function of the said first comparison.
