Abstract: The invention relates to the field of a security framework for transmitting communication messages between a Substation LAN and packet-switched WAN, in particular, a network interface for transmitting protection data in a power network. The present invention provides a network interface for transmitting communication data including protection data of a power communication network, between a Substation Ethernet LAN and a packet-switched WAN usually in Layer 2. The network interface comprises: a firewall and a Layer 3 router being connected with each other and adapted to transmit the communication data excluding the protection data; and a Layer 2 bypass being in parallel with the firewall and the Layer 3 router, and adapted to transmit the protection data. According to a further aspect, the present invention also provides a method for transmitting such communication data.

Abstract: A semiconductor module includes a base plate, a substrate on the base plate and carrying at least one semiconductor chip, a housing attached to the base plate and at least partially enclosing the substrate, and at least one terminal having one end which protrudes from the housing and another end which has a terminal foot attached on a terminal pad of the metallization by means of ultrasonic welding. The housing has a protective wall which encloses the terminal and divides an interior space of the housing into an unprotected region and a protected region. The protective wall is formed such that a gap is formed between the substrate and the protective wall. The gap is designed to carry a fluid flow such that particles produced during the ultrasonic welding of the terminal foot to the terminal pad are prevented from penetrating into the protected region from the unprotected region.

Abstract: A method and an arrangement are disclosed for determining the direction of excess currents in energy supply networks, such as in medium voltage networks. An exemplary method and arrangement render it possible to reliably isolate a point of fault caused by a short-circuit or excess current, even if switching systems of the energy supply network do not include a capacitive pickup. Exemplary arrangements include an energy supply network which connects, via a transformer, a medium voltage network to a low voltage network.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for providing a network bridge between a source and a receiving network of a communication network, wherein the network bridge includes two content-bridging nodes connected between the source and the receiving networks according to a redundancy schema defined in IEC62439-3. The method can include assigning a common source network node identifier to the two content-bridging nodes; receiving, by each of the two content-bridging nodes, network traffic within the source network; and forwarding, by each of the two content-bridging nodes using the source network identifier, the network traffic from the source to the receiving networks.

Abstract: The invention relates to a circuit breaker comprising a first and a second contact assembly, wherein one of the contact assemblies comprises contact fingers arranged in a finger cage configuration and the other contact assembly comprises a tube or rod contact. The contact fingers comprise an impact point where the tube or rod impacts the contact fingers for the first time during electrical connection establishment, and a contact zone which contacts the tube or rod when the electrical connection is established. The contact zone comprises two contact points separated from one another and arranged on a line which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.

Abstract: An impedance matching element is disclosed which can be used for voltage and/or current sensing or indicating devices used in medium voltage systems in order to improve signal integrity of output signals in comparison with known sensing devices. To enhance sensing accuracy and provide higher output signal immunity against interferences and impedance mismatches, the electric field sensor and/or the magnetic field sensor can be connected to the impedance matching element which allows connection to an independent analog measuring device and is powered from an energy harvester, with an impedance matching electronic board.
