Abstract:
A master-IED (Intelligent Electronic Device) is disclosed for high level applications (e.g., in power management or load shedding applications in power generation facilities or in electric power transformation), which can include at least one communication interface supporting MMS client and GOOSE functionality (CI-1, CI-2 . . . CI-n), wherein each is configured as an IED with its own configurable CID-file according to an IEC 61850 requirement. The master-IED specific IEC 61850 configuration tool can handle SCD (Substation Configuration Description)—files per a communication interface CI-1.
Abstract:
A pole part of a circuit-breaker arrangement having an insulation housing for accommodating a vacuum interrupter insert containing a pair of corresponding electrical switching contacts, wherein a fixed upper electrical contact is connected to an upper electrical terminal molded in the insulation housing and a movable lower electrical contact is connected to a lower electrical terminal of the insulation housing via an electrical conductor which is operated by an adjacent pushrod. The lower electrical terminal is connected to a ring shaped heat transfer shield arranged along the inner wall or at least partly inside the wall of the insulation housing surrounding the pushrod and/or the distal end of the movable lower electrical contact.

The high-voltage transformer can include a transformer core having at least two core limbs, which are axially parallel and on which in each case a hollow-cylindrical coil having in each case at least one electrical winding is arranged. At least in partial regions of mutually facing surfaces of adjacently arranged coils, the respective surface regions of the coils can have a respective electrically isolating barrier structure, which can be integrated radially on an outside of the coil.
Abstract:
A transformer and a method of manufacturing a transformer are disclosed. The transformer can include a transformer core with at least three core limbs which are arranged in parallel with respect to one another and perpendicular to corner points of an area spanned by a polygon, and wherein axial end regions of each of the at least three core limbs transition into a respective yoke segment arranged transversely with respect to the axial end regions. Main windings can be arranged around each of the at least three core limbs in a hollow-cylindrical winding region. A magnetic cross section of a respective core limb can be greater than a magnetic cross section of the respective yoke segment. Additional windings can be electrically connected to a respective main winding and can be arranged around each of the respective yoke segments.
Abstract:
An arrangement for reading out an analog voltage input signal includes an input applying the input signal thereto, and a reference unit generating an analog reference voltage. To perform online self-calibration, the arrangement includes a superposition unit generating a combined analog signal by superimposing the analog reference voltage onto the input signal, a converting unit converting the combined analog signal into a one-bit serial data stream at a conversion sampling rate, and a decomposition unit, which includes at least two digital filters configured to generate from the serial data stream two corresponding digital signals at different data rates, which can be less than the conversion sampling rate. Two data processing units calculate from the corresponding digital signal a digital input voltage representing the input signal and a digital reference voltage representing the analog reference voltage or a disturbance voltage signal representing parasitic voltage components introduced by the superposition unit, respectively.
Abstract:
A reverse-conducting semiconductor device (RC-IGBT) including a freewheeling diode and an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT), and a method for making the RC-IGBT are provided. A first layer of a first conductivity type is created on a collector side before a second layer of a second conductivity type is created on the collector side. An electrical contact in direct electrical contact with the first and second layers is created on the collector side. A shadow mask is applied on the collector side, and a third layer of the first conductivity type is created through the shadow mask. At least one electrically conductive island, which is part of a second electrical contact in the finalized RC-IGBT, is created through the shadow mask. The island is used as a mask for creating the second layer, and those parts of the third layer which are covered by the island form the second layer.
