Patent number: 6671501Abstract: The present circuit serves for the transmission of information signals over the general electricity supply mains. It has a transducer (13) for the galvanic separation of the mains voltage. The mains side winding (L1) of the transducer is connected in series with a capacitor (C1) in order to separate the mains frequency from the frequency of the information signal. It is loosely coupled with the windings (L2, L3) of the transducer, being galvanically separated from the mains with a coupling degree between 0.8 and 0.98, whereby the transducer obtains a desired mains side stray inductance. The circuit is dimensioned so that it has a low impedance at the mains, when it is sending, and a high impedance, when it is receiving, that it provides a high level of the reception signal at the application side terminal and that it has a broadband balanced frequency response, which is largely independent of fluctuations of the mains impedance within a broad frequency range.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2000Date of Patent: December 30, 2003Assignee: Polytrax Information TechnologyInventor: Harald Dalichau

Patent number: 6178386Abstract: A partial discharge fault in a transformer tank is determined by sensing supersonic vibrations at a multiplicity of points about the tanks and establishing a threshold amplitude and a frequency range for pulse vibrations to be evaluated. The signals from the multiplicity of points are multiplexed, synchronized and localized and then processed in a series of steps. After the existence of triggering pulse vibrations exceeding an established threshold amplitude and within an established frequency and range is initially determined, a wavelet transform is conducted on the multiplexed signals two at a time with one signal being the signal from the first sensor found to provide a signal above the threshold amplitude. The wavelet transform provides both frequency and time domain.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 1998Date of Patent: January 23, 2001Assignee: The University of HartfordInventors: Hemchandra M.
