Abstract:
A power semiconductor arrangement including a clamping device including a first clamping element and a second clamping element. A plurality of power semiconductor elements are stacked on each other between the first and second clamping elements of the clamping device. The first clamping element receives a clamping force in an axial direction of the stack of the power semiconductor elements. At least one spring element is arranged between the first clamping element and the power semiconductor elements. The at least one spring element presents at least one support surface with which the at least one spring element bears against at least one corresponding support surface of an adjacent element. The at least one spring element includes a helical spring. A center axis of the at least one spring element coincides with a center of the clamping force, or the at least one spring element includes a plurality of helical springs arranged in parallel with each other, which are arranged symmetrically in relation to a point in which a center of the clamping force is introduced into the first clamping element.

Software executing on the computer: displays a requirements document; receives an indication of a selected portion of the requirements document; based at least in part upon the indication of the selected portion of the requirements document, retrieves from the database a list of possible storage locations corresponding to the selected portion of the requirements document; displays the list of possible storage locations corresponding to the selected portion of the requirements document; receives an indication of a selected storage location; receives an indication of data selected in the requirements document to be stored in the selected storage location; and stores the selected data in the selected storage location in the processed specification.
Abstract:
A high voltage transformer including a transformer housing. Internal components and provided in the transformer housing. The internal components are submerged in transformer oil and are provided with insulation for insulating a high voltage winding end. The insulation includes a shield ring arranged above the winding end and a pressboard structure formed in a zigzag pattern arranged around the winding end. The shield ring includes a core covered with a conducting layer and a continuous solid insulation layer outside the conducting layer. The insulation layer includes integrated solid insulation sections of which at least some among themselves having varying thickness. Also a shield ring and a method of manufacture the shield ring.
Abstract:
A protective casing for a joint, termination or cross-connection of at least one high voltage cable. The protective casing includes a first material portion of a first metal material having good strength properties. The protective casing includes a second material portion of a second metal material which is fixedly attached to the first material portion. The second metal material has good soft soldering properties such that it is possible to provide a strong and tight connection between the second material portion of the protective casing and a sheath of at least one of the cable parts by a soft soldering process.
Abstract:
An HVDC transmission system including a rectifier station and an inverter station each having a series connection of at least two converters. A by-pass DC breaker is connected in parallel with each converter. A control device is adapted to deblock a blocked converter by starting to control the converter at high delay angle and gradually decreasing the delay angle until substantially all DC current flows through the converter and to then control the by-pass breaker to open at substantially zero current, and to stop the operation of a converter by controlling the converter at gradually increasing delay angle until the voltage across the converter is substantially zero and to then control the converter to be blocked by firing a by-pass pair thereof and to then control the by-pass breaker to close for taking over all the DC current when the voltage between a neutral bus and a pole of a transmission line between the stations is to be increased and reduced, respectively.
Abstract:
A surge arrester including a stack of a plurality of cylindrical varistor blocks that are arranged one after the other in the axial direction of the varistor blocks between an upper end electrode and a lower end electrode. Arranged around the stack are clamping members of an insulating material including at least three loops of continuously wound fiber that connect the upper end electrode to the lower end electrode as well as a bursting-protective bandage in the form of a plurality of rings wound of fiber, and a surrounding, electrically insulating, outer casing of rubber or other polymeric material. The loops are wound from glass fiber and exhibit an asymmetrical cross section.
Abstract:
A method for mounting a cable duct on a supporting surface. The cable duct includes openings for applying attachment elements, forming parts of the supporting surface into at least three hitches. The hitches are placed corresponding to the openings in the cable duct and the cable duct is mounted on the surface through the hitches.
Abstract:
A method and computer-based system for retrieving, accessing and storing data otherwise stored in a plurality of IT systems arranged for operating a part of one or more electrical power networks. The method and computer-based system provide integration of otherwise separate systems such as GIS, SCADA, ERP and/or CMMS. The integration includes an XML/CIM layer for data exchange and a virtual asset register containing references to objects representing assets in the power networks. A human-machine interface and a computer program for carrying out the method.
Abstract:
A protective relay for an electrical power distribution system and a method. The protective relay includes first and second current transformers arranged to sense a respective current flowing into a power line, and a voltage sensing device arranged to sense the voltage of the power line. The protective relay further includes a first and a second device for determining the direction of a fault within the system based on a current signal from the first and second current transformers and a voltage signal from the voltage sensing means. The protective relay further includes a third device for determining the fault direction based on a sum of the current signals from the first and second current transformers and a voltage signal from said voltage sensing means. A controller determines whether a fault is internal or external based on the fault directions determined by the first, second and third devices.
