    摘要: A medium or high voltage electrical device includes a housing, a central conductor provided within the housing, and a sacrificial cap configured for mounting on the housing. The sacrificial cap includes an outer housing, an insulated body, and a sacrificial conductor provided within the insulated body, wherein the sacrificial conductor electrically communicates with the central conductor within the housing when the sacrificial cap is mounted on the housing. A voltage test point terminal is provided within the insulated body and accessible via the outer housing of the sacrificial cap to capacitively couple with the sacrificial conductor. The sacrificial cap includes a portion configured to be physically severed to confirm that the electrical connector is de-energized.

    摘要: A switched-capacitor circuit is described herein. In accordance with one exemplary embodiment the switched-capacitor circuit includes a first input node and a second input node and an input switch unit. The input switch is connected to the first input node and the second input node and has a first output node and a second output node. A first capacitor is coupled to the first output node of the input switch unit, and a second capacitor is coupled to the second output node of the input switch unit. The input switch unit includes a plurality of switches configured to con-nect and disconnect one of the first and second input nodes and one of the first capacitor and the second capacitor. The input switch unit further includes a first charge pump coupled to the first input node and a second charge pump coupled to the second input node. The first charge pump is configured to generate, based on a clock signal, switching signals for a switch of the plurality of switches, and the second charge pump is configured to generate, based on the clock signal, switching signals for a further switch of the plurality of switches.

    摘要: A device for monitoring partial discharges in an AC electrical network, the monitoring device being mounted in a switching apparatus provided with a vacuum bottle connected to one phase of the AC network. The monitoring device includes a partial discharge detector positioned facing the vacuum bottle and an electronic processing unit receiving a first signal representative of the partial discharges detected by the capacitive sensor and receiving a second signal representative of the voltage of the electrical network. The processing unit includes discriminating means which are capable, according to the first signal and the second signal, of determining whether the partial discharges originate from a loss of vacuum in the vacuum bottle or originate from another cause external to the vacuum bottle.

    摘要: The invention relates to a device for measuring an electrical quantity of one phase of an AC electric current in an overhead electrical network, comprising: a sensor designed to be attached to an electric line of the overhead electrical network, said sensor including: an electrically conductive plate; an electrical conductor, designed to electrically connect the plate to the electric line, in order to circulate a first electric current from the electric line through the electrical conductor; a processing unit, designed to determine the electrical quantity from a value of the first electric current and a value of a capacitance between the plate and the ground. Said device also comprises a generator, electrically connected to the electrical conductor and designed to inject a second electric current through the electrical conductor, said second electric current having a frequency other than the frequency of the first electric current, the processing unit also being designed to calculate the value of the capacitance between the plate and the ground as a function of a value of the second electric current.

    摘要: A system measures wireless power transfer between a transmitter and a receiver. The system includes a sensor circuit including a sensor. The sensor is configured and positioned to generate sensor data indicative of a field. The field is generated in connection with the wireless power transfer. The system further includes a processor coupled to the sensor circuit and configured to determine a power measurement based on the sensor data. The processor is further configured to determine misalignment of the transmitter or the receiver. The processor is also configured to correct an estimate of the power measurement based on the misalignment.
