Abstract: An insulated device diagnosing system is capable of judging the deterioration, lifetime, and defects of a device. The intensity at each voltage phase angle is measured at a plurality of specific frequencies, taking high voltage phase angles as the abscissas. The deterioration, lifetime, and the kind and extent of abnormality of the device are judged from the pattern and intensity of the spectral distribution, which is obtained by peak-holding the measured intensity for a defined time period. According to the present invention, partial discharge can be measured highly sensitively and precisely to diagnose the deterioration, lifetime and the extent of defect of the device. As a result, the insulation reliability of the device can be improved, and the part of the device that should be repaired/replaced can be grasped before disassembly of the device, thereby cutting the maintenance cost.

Abstract: A gas insulation switch has a container charged with insulating gas which contains an electric conductor and at least a pair of contactors. The container is divided into a plurality of sections. For the sections which have no switching devices or separable contactors, a different insulating gas is used as compared with that for the sections having breakers or separable contactors. In particular, in the section of the container, such as a grounding tank, that contains only electric conductors without separable contactors, an insulating gas having a smaller earth warming coefficient or global warming coefficient than that of SF6 gases is used. On the other hand, for the section of the grounding tank which contains a breaker or switch having separable contactors, an SF6 insulating gas is used.

Abstract: In a gas insulated electric apparatus having gas sections filled with insulating gas, a locating device determines a position of a gas section in which an insulation abnormality is detected, on the basis of a detection signal from sensors disposed in each of predetermined gas sections. At the same time a hindering degree diagnosing device diagnoses the degree and the kind of the insulation abnormality, by comparing a detection signal from the sensors with data stored in a data base. A valve control generates a valve control signal, responding to the locating device and the hindering degree diagnosing device, and in response to the valve control signal, a trip circuit generates a valve opening signal to open an electromagnetic valve disposed in a gas section in which an insulation abnormality is detected.

Abstract: Light from a light source is fed to a sensing probe through a polarization plane-reserving fiber, and is split into two light beams, that is, a reference beam and a measurement beam. The reference beam is passed through a reference medium, and the measurement beam is passed through a pressure-sensitive medium, which may be in the form of gas. Then, the reference beam and the measurement beam are fed to a light-receiving portion via the polarization plane-reserving fiber, and are converted into electrical signals. The electrical signals are inputted into a signal processing portion, and the optical path length difference between the reference and measurement beams, passed through their respective mediums, is determined, and the pressure of the pressure-sensitive medium is detected from this optical path length difference.

Abstract: A gas filled electric conductor arrangement has an inclined surface (3A) at the bottom side of an electric conductor (3) that is formed by gradually reducing the cross section (D1, D2) of the electric conductor from one insulator spacer (2A) at one side toward another insulator spacer (2B) at the other side. Because of an angle (.theta.) of the inclined surface (3A), the spacing distance between the electric conductor (3) and the bottom surface (1A) of a grounded tank (1) increases depending upon the distance away from one insulator spacer (2A). Thereby, conductive foreign particles (50) are designed to be moved away from the surface of the insulator spacer (2A) and become trapped by a conductive foreign particle (1) disposed at the center bottom surface (1A) of the grounded tank.

A through-type electric connector extends through and is supported by the insulated spacer and an electric conductor is electrically connected to the through-type electric conductor by a conductor connector. The conductor connector closest to the insulator spacer is positioned such that electric flux lines exiting from the conductor connector intersect with the surface of the insulator spacer in a region in which an electric field has a strength equal to or less than 70% of the strength of the strongest electric field on the surface of the insulator spacer generated by a lightning impulse applied to the gas insulated device.

Abstract: The number of hidden layers is no larger than 2 and a sum is determined for each case. A relationship between the sum of the inputs and teaching data for each case is expressed in a table in a descending order of the sum of inputs for each output of an output layer, and the teacher data for the maximum sum and the number of times of change in the teacher data are considered. A configuration (the number of hidden layers and the number of neurons thereof) is determined based on those data, and the coupling weights can be analytically calculated by using the table. Where the number of times of change of the teacher data is odd, some inputs do not route a second hidden layer.

Coupling weights are analytically calculated based on the table.
