  • Patent number: 11367970
    Abstract: A method for implementing-a wiring on a matrix of conductor connection devices such as terminal conductor connection devices for connection of the ends of a conductor to at least one series terminal block uses at least one luminous element to identify conductor connection devices which are illuminated in the matrix directly or indirectly in accordance with a wiring diagram. The conductor connection devices that are illuminated by the luminous element and that are to be interconnected are connected to conductors, the ends of which are inserted in the conductor connection devices to establish a respective conducting wiring connection.

  • Patent number: 10062978
    Abstract: The invention relates to a terminal assembly and in particular a series terminal assembly for medium-voltage switchgears. The assembly includes at least two input-side connectors and at least two output-side connectors in addition to a configuration location. The input-side connectors and the output-side connectors are not interconnected in a fixed pre-configured manner. Each of the configuration locations for each input-side connector location and for each output-side connector location has a configuration connector location.

  • Patent number: 8148654
    Abstract: A switchgear assembly is disclosed wherein to combine individual functions to form a standardized unit, without deviating from known technology, electrical cabling between the electrical functional components of the switchgear assembly can be replaced by a wiring in a box. The electrical components can each be connected directly to the box by a bundle of bound cables. Another embodiment includes a coding plug for being plugged from the exterior.

  • Patent number: 8116070
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a control and switchgear for a medium or high-voltage substation. In order to improve a generic control and switchgear by means of a given number of prefabricated wiring elements, the function-related wiring is combined in a uniform control device which is incorporated into a segment of the switchgear door and is provided with the operator panel on the outside and a series of interfaces on the inside.

  • Patent number: 6325922
    Abstract: A filter device for filtering plastic melts includes a filter wheel having cavities which are covered by screening elements. A pressure sensor is provided in a melt inflow line upstream of the filter wheel. A pressure sensor is also provided in a melt outflow line downstream of the filter wheel. The pressure sensors measure the pressure drop across the filter. The melt inflow and outflow lines are connected to a melt channel in the filter device, respectively. A melt return line is in connection via a pump and a discharge line with a backflushing slot. The discharge line is connected to an accelerator for increasing pressure in surges. A further melt return/discharge line is connected via a 3-way valve and a return line to the melt inflow line or to a disposal line.
