  • Patent number: 9202647
    Abstract: A switching controller for circuit breaker in which a switching control arithmetic operation unit performs arithmetic operations to determine for each circuit breaker a synchronous delay count value which is sent to each switching command control unit of the corresponding circuit breaker, which upon receiving a switching command signal from a superordinate device, counts the synchronous delay count value D, to turn on a semiconductor switch of the switching command output unit after counting completes. The switching command signal (circuit breaker drive current) is output after the synchronous switching control to the circuit breaker drive coil of the circuit breaker. The switching controller can implement cost saving and space saving, even if switching of a circuit breaker in a lower branch system, such as a power distribution system, is controlled.

  • Patent number: 8680713
    Abstract: An overvoltage suppression device which suppresses overvoltage that occurs when breakers which turn on/off the connection between a power source bus and a power transmission line, are turned on after the breakers are turned off. The overvoltage suppression device measures the waveform of voltage on the side of the power source and the voltage on the side of the power transmission line, and extracts the waveform of a component in a predetermined frequency band on the basis of the waveform obtained by multiplying the wave shape of the voltage on the side of the power source by the waveform of the voltage on the side of the power transmission line. The breakers are turned on on the basis of a cycle wherein the waveform is peaked.

  • Patent number: 8217536
    Abstract: A first calculation part calculates the phase-to-phase steady-state magnetic flux of the three phases of the power supply. A second calculation part calculates the phase-to-phase residual magnetic flux of the three phases in the primary windings side of the transformer when the circuit breakers interrupt the transformer. A phase detection part detects a voltage phase at which polarity and magnitude of the calculated steady-state magnetic flux and residual magnetic flux coincide. Closing control part firstly causes only the circuit breakers of the two phases to close at the detected voltage phase, and then causes the circuit breaker of the remaining one phase to close.
