  • Patent number: 12049140
    Abstract: The arrangement relates to a voltage transformer for transformation between a direct voltage at a direct voltage gate and a single-phase or multi-phase alternating voltage at an alternating voltage gate by temporal clocking of an electronic switching unit, via which each phase of the alternating voltage gate can be connected either to a positive pole or to a negative pole of the direct voltage gate. The positive pole and/or the negative pole of the direct voltage gate is connected via at least one capacitor to a ground connection. The ground connection can be connected to an external ground, and the connection between the capacitor and the ground connection is guided via at least one switch element. The arrangement also relates to a motor vehicle having the electric powertrain. A diagnosis arrangement includes a voltage source and monitors the state and function of a switching element.

  • Patent number: 9705493
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a protection apparatus for an IT network having a first and a second live line, having a signal generator which is designed to feed a first signal to the first and/or to the second live line, having a detection device which is designed to detect the profile of the fed first signal in at least one live line, and having a control device which is designed to analyze the detected profile and to output a disconnection signal when the analysis of the detected profile indicates that a living organism is in contact with the first live line and the second live line. The present invention also discloses a method and a power supply system.

  • Publication number: 20130100982
    Abstract: A method for determining the temperature change of a feeder cable of a charging device in that, in a first task, the electromagnetic input pulse is coupled into the feeder cable, the electromagnetic input pulse being able to be reflected in the feeder cable and the reflected portion returning to the charging device as reflected electromagnetic output pulse; in a second task, the pulse shape of the reflected electromagnetic output pulse is determined; in a third task, the pulse shape of the reflected electromagnetic output pulse is compared to a reference pulse shape of the reflected reference pulse; in a fourth task, the temperature change is determined by comparing the two pulse shapes.
