It comprises current responsive means, such as a current transformer (2210), adapted for mounting adjacent to said electric conductor: and sensor circuitry (2220) means for emitting a non-electrical wave signal as an output: said sensor circuitry (2220) comprises current level indication circuitry (2222) comprising a current-to-frequency converter adapted to provide said non-electrical wave signal as a current level indication pulse signal (CS 1 ) having a pulse frequency (Pf ca ) which is proportional to said electric conductor current, when the latter is within a predetermined current interval (l 1 - l 2 ). Thus, a low cost sensor is provided. The invention further relates to a short circuit indicator system (1 ) for an electric conductor. It comprises at least one of the above mentioned current sensors (22; 24; 26); a communication link (32: 34; 36) for relaying at least said non-electrical wave signal from said current sensor; voltage measurement means (40; 2240) for performing a voltage measurement over said electric conductor; a detection relay (51) operable for sensing at least the frequency of at least a current pulse signal and translating it to a current corresponding to the frequency of said current pulse signal; current threshold means operable for determining whether the current corresponding to the frequency of said current pulse signal (CS) is above a predetermined current threshold (I max ): and voltage threshold means operable for determining whether the voltage measured by said voltage measurement means (40; 2240) is below a predetermined voltage threshold (V min ) after a predetermined time period (t 1 ) after said current threshold means has made a positive determination: and short circuit display means (532; 534; 536) operable for indicating that a short circuit has occurred on said electric conductor when said voltage threshold means has made a positive determination. Thus, a rapid and reliable short circuit indicator system is provided, which may be adapted for use for electric conductors in LV, MV and HV power lines.

摘要:
Die Erfindung betrifft Einrichtungen zur Messung des fließenden elektrischen Stromes in mindestens einem elektrischen Leiter (2), der mit wenigstens einem elektrischen Verbraucher verbunden ist, und Verfahren zur Fehlerkorrektur von Einrichtungen zur Messung des fließenden elektrischen Stromes in mindestens einem elektrischen Leiter, der mit wenigstens einem elektrischen Verbraucher verbunden ist, und wobei die Messwerte in eine dem Messwert äquivalente elektrische Impulsfolge gewandelt werden. Diese zeichnen sich besonders durch die Möglichkeiten der Fehlerkorrektur und Kalibrierung aus. Die Fehlerkorrektur basiert auf einer selbstlernenden Struktur in den Einrichtungen, wobei aus einer Korrekturtabelle der für die Einrichtung zutreffende oder nächstliegende Fehlerkorrekturwert bestimmt, ausgewählt und in eine Steuer- und Verarbeitungseinrichtung nichtveränderbar so übernommen wird, dass bei jeder Messung dieser Fehlerkorrekturwert während der aktuellen Messungen berücksichtigt wird. Dabei werden innerhalb eines festgelegten Zeitintervalls die Ausgangsimpulsfolge hinsichtlich ihrer Impulszahl in geeignet kleinen Iterationsschritten jeweils soviel Impulse der Eingangsimpulsfolge abgezogen oder hinzugefügt, dass eine nominelle Impulszahl gleich groß ist.
摘要:
In order to measure the current in a shunt, the voltage drop in the resistor of said shunt is evaluated as a measurement of the current. Normally, galvanic separation of the measuring device is required for high-potential shunts. According to the invention, a digital measuring signal provides the clock pulse for modulation of the supply current for the measuring device after an A/D conversion. The modulated supply current is also used as a carrier for the measuring information. In the associated evaluation device, an A/D converter (3) and a modulation unit (4) are arranged downstream from an amplifier (2) for the voltage signal which is picked off from the shunt (1). The modulated measuring signal is transmitted to an evaluation device (5).

Mit dem Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Frequenzverstärkung (V f ) eines Spannungs-Frequenz-Wandlers (UF) läßt sich ein zeitlich konstanter Fehler, der beispielsweise durch analoge Bauteile (R,C) verursacht sein kann, kompensieren. Die Steuerung (R) eines elektrischen Systems (ES) sorgt dafür, daß die von der Reaktion des elektrischen Systems (ES) abgeleitete Eingangsspannung (U E ) des Spannungs-Frequenz-Wandlers (UF) Null ist und bestimmt dabei aus dessen Ausgangssignal (P) die zur Berechnung der Frequenzverstärkung V f benötigte Mittenfrequenz f₀.
