  • Patent number: 10746800
    Abstract: A method and test device for testing protection relays, the test device having a signal generator. The signal generator supplies a signal as pulses having pause times, which alternate over time. Signal level is reduced during the pause times and at least one pulse has an amplitude at least higher than one of the preceding pulses. A supply voltage is supplied by an accumulator providing electric energy for generating the pulses. Via the accumulator, a greater mobility and flexibility is ensured, and fuel-fed power units or emergency power units may be omitted. In order to reduce the load (average energy) on the accumulator, the signal generator emits the signal as pulses having pause times. The pulse amplitudes may have an increasing trend to reach a switching threshold. This allows the use of smaller and more compact, which is important for a portable test device.

  • Patent number: 10247782
    Abstract: A method and a system (9) for testing a switching installation (30) for power transmission installations are provided. The switching installation (30) comprises a switch (2) which either connects a first side (6) of the switch (2) to a second side (7) of the switch (2) or disconnects it therefrom, and comprises two earthing switches (10, 11). Each of the two earthing switches (10, 11) is provided to either connect the first side (6) or the second side (7) to earth (1) or to disconnect it from earth (1). To test the switching installation (30), a current is generated through the switch (2) and a magnitude of the current through the switch (2) is determined. In this respect, the two earthing switches (10, 11) are closed while the current is generated and while the magnitude of the current is determined.
