摘要:
A D.C. current transformer (CT) (used to measure D.C.) comprising a common primary winding (B) and a pair of saturable magnetic cores (C1, C2) on which respective secondary windings (W1, W2) are wound and connected in opposite senses in series to a source of alternating e.m.f. (E1), is provided with phase-sensitive means (2) for determining the sense of the unknown D.C. (11) in the primary winding. The phase sensitive means periodically senses and integrates the voltage (V1 + V2) (whose waveform is the -45° to +45° portion of a sine wave) across at least one of the secondary windings. The sense of the integrated waveform depends on whether said voltage is initially positive or negative, and is determined by the sense of the unknown D.C. in the primary winding. Preferably said voltage is sensed at each half cycle of said alternating e.m.f.

A self-starting single phase induction motor wherein the required quasi-second phase for starting is provided by controlling the phase of the voltage applied to one stator winding (91) of the motor relative to the phase of the voltage applied to another stator winding (87) of the motor by means of an electronic switching arrangement (93) and an associated control circuit (95).
摘要:
A continuous elongate strength member for reinforcing an optical fibre cable consists of an assembly of aromatic polyamide filaments impregnated with a synthetic resin, in which the filaments are individually coated with the resin, and the filaments of at least an outer layer of the assembly are helically stranded. The impregnation is carried out by separating the filaments and immersing them in a low viscosity dispersion of the resin in a liquid medium; the filaments are then stranded, and the resin is cured. Apparatus for manufacturing the strength member and various forms of cable incorporating one or more strength members.

Un compensateur réactif statique polyphasé comprend un réacteur saturé principal (SR1) connecté en série avec un certain nombre de réacteurs saturés plus petits (SR2-4) de tension nominale calibrée. Les réacteurs plus petits sont shuntés par les commutateurs à thyristors respectifs (TV2-TV4) de sorte que des combinaisons sélectionnées de réacteurs peuvent être obtenues pour assurer une commande de la tension totale de fonctionnement. La pente de la caractéristique générale peut être commandée par commutation au travers de combinaisons successives des réacteurs. Une amélioration ultérieure de la caractéristique générale peut être obtenue grâce à la commande de phase des commutateurs à thyristors (TV3) du réacteur le plus petit (SR4) ou, dans une forme alternative de l'invention, par l'utilisation d'un seul réacteur (SR1) possédant un enroulement primaire, un enroulement secondaire à maille fermée (19) et un réacteur auxiliaire commandé en phase (AR, ACR) représentant une charge sur l'enroulement à maille fermée. Les deux formes de la présente invention peuvent être combinées en un seul équipement.

A cable is formed by extruding an extrusible sheath through a die by applying pressure to a non-compressible fluid surrounding the sheath, the sheath having held within it at least one extrusible conductor, spaced from the sheath by pressure-transmitting material, such as compacted powdered insulating material.
摘要:
A method of protecting a bare overhead conductor wherein a grease composition containing a plastics agent cross-linkable under the influence of ultra-violet radiation is applied to the conductor during its fabrication. The conductor when secured in place overhead is exposed to the ultra-violet radiation present in sunlight which causes cross-linking of the plastics agent present at the surface of the grease composition exposed to the sunlight, and thereby hardening of the grease composition at this surface. Such hardening prevents denudation of the conductor of the grease composition.

摘要:
Apparatus and a process for manufacturing mineral-insulated cable (10) has seam-welding heads for welding a travelling strip simultaneously at two or more spaced points (F1, F2, F3) to form a tubular sheath for the cable. In another aspect of the invention, in start-up or shut-down of a process for manufacturing mineral-insulated cable wherein a strip is seam-welded to form a tubular sheath for the cable (10), the same quality of seam-weld (100) is ensured as for the steady state condition by controlling the arc current and voltage as a function of the speed of conveyance of the strip.
摘要:
An interrupter/isolator assembly having a conducting member (16) connected to one contact of a vacuum switch (V) and movable to engage either an earth contact (19) or an isolator contact (7) incorporates a cam member (17) for operating the conducting member (16) and actuating the switch contacts, there being a degree of lost motion between the cam member (17) and conducting member (16) such that making or breaking of a current path between the second contact and either the isolator (7) or earth contact (9) occurs within the vacuum switch (V) and not at the isolator (7) or earth contact (9).
摘要:
A mineral insulated electric cable which incorporates a hydrophobic substance has, within the sheath, an additive material. This material may either 1) release carbon dioxide on reaching a predetermined temperature or 2) react with the hydrophobic material (or the degradation products thereof) or 3) react to produce oxygen. The hydrophobic material is commonly a silicone.
