摘要:
The present invention provides a power conversion apparatus capable of controlling switching timings of main and auxiliary switches to achieve soft-switching in both of the main and auxiliary switches. The power conversion apparatus comprises a control circuit operable to apply a turning-on signal to first and second auxiliary switches so as to turn on the first and second auxiliary switches to lead a current from an output terminal to an resonant inductor when a current from an input reactor is passing through the main switch before a turning-on signal is applied to the main switch. Subsequently, when a current passing through the resonant inductor is increased up to the same value as that of a current passing through the input reactor by a resonance generated in a resonant circuit formed of the resonant inductor and a snubber capacitor to provide approximately zero of the end voltage across the main switch, the control circuit is operable to apply a turning-on signal to the main switch.

It is an object of the invention to provide a current sensor apparatus that reduces measurement errors resulting from variations in a position of a current path passing through the space inside a magnetic yoke. The current sensor apparatus comprises a ring-shaped magnetic yoke (2) surrounding a current path (1), part of the yoke having a gap (3), and a magnetic sensor element (4) placed in the gap (3) of the magnetic yoke (2). The magnetic sensor element (4) detects a magnetic field in the gap (3) generated by a current flowing through the current path (1) to measure the current flowing through the current path (1). The current sensor apparatus further comprises a magnetic field interrupter (5), placed between the current path (1) and the gap (3), for interrupting a magnetic field corresponding to a magnetic flux generated by the current passing through the current path (1) and not passing through the magnetic yoke (2), so that the magnetic field would not reach the magnetic sensor element (4).

A switching circuit for a power conversion apparatus capable of reducing conduction loss to provide a higher efficiency, and achieving downsizing and weight-reduction and higher driving frequency based on the improved efficiency is disclosed. A driving transistor is connected to a switching main transistor to supply a driving power for ON-OFF driving thereto, and an auxiliary power source composed of a current transformer is provided between the main transistor and the driving transistor. An auxiliary transistor having a lower switching loss than that of the main transistor is connected in parallel with the main transistor to form a main switch in combination with the main transistor. A current-driven type transistor serves as the main transistor, and voltage-driven type transistors serve as both of the driving transistor and the auxiliary transistor. The auxiliary transistor is adapted to be driven at a higher speed than that of the main transistor when the main transistor is turned on, and adapted to be driven at a lower speed than that of the main transistor when the main transistor is turned off.

A start-up method of a steam turbine plant including a condenser is disclosed. The condenser includes a tube bundle composed of a number of pipes for condensing an exhaust steam from a steam turbine and a hot well for receiving and storing a condensate therein. The interior of the condenser is airtightly divided into two spaces with a partition therebetween, one of them being an upper space containing the tube bundle and the other one being a lower space containing the hot well. A communication passageway(s) extends between the upper space and the lower space with an isolation valve in the form of a butterfly valve disposed on the communication passageway. At the shut-down of the steam turbine plant, the isolation valve is closed to isolate the upper space from the lower space while the lower space is maintained in vacuum. At the start-up of the steam turbine plant, the isolation valve is opened after the upper space is evacuated, and the upper space is then communicated with the lower space which is maintained still in vacuum.

A compensating circuit for a cold junction of a thermocouple includes a sign inverting amplifier, a power source and a summing amplifier. A thermo-electromotive force of the thermocouple, the output of the sign inverting amplifier and the voltage of the power source are applied to one input terminal of the summing amplifier through resistors. An output corresponding to the temperature of the hot junction of the thermocouple is obtained from the output terminal of the summing amplifier.
