摘要: An electronic test node (1) for a safety chain (22) in a passenger conveyor system includes an electrical connection (2) for an associated safety switch (4). A processor (6) is configured to monitor a signal carried by the electrical connection (2) so as to detect whether the associated safety switch (4) is open or closed. The electronic test node (1) further includes a test switch (8) connected in series with the electrical connection (2), wherein the processor (6) is configured to run a test by selectively opening the test switch (8) and monitoring for a change in the signal carried by the electrical connection (2).

摘要: A relay diagnosis apparatus for a parallel pack assembly including a first battery pack having a first battery module and a first positive relay and a second battery pack having a second battery module and a second positive relay includes a diagnosis unit including a diagnosis switch and a diagnosis resistor connected between first and second battery pack terminals, a first detector to detect a current of the first battery module, a second detector to detect a current of the second battery module, and a control unit to collect a first and second detection values from the first and second detectors, respectively, during a first diagnosis period in which the first and second positive relays are open and the diagnosis switch is closed. The control unit determines a stuck-closed fault of the first or second positive relays based on the first and second detection values and a first threshold.

摘要: A tester for a relay comprises an enclosure, a testing circuit that includes a controller, electronic switch components, a power source, indicator LEDs, a test start switch, a relay selector switch, and five electric leads each connected with one terminal of the relay. With the relay selector switch toggled to indicate the type of relay being tested, with power supplied to each lead, and with the test start switch actuated, the controller sets each lead to ground, in turn, and then count the number of other leads that are grounded as a result. The controller then illuminates the at least one indicator to indicate either the passing relay test or the failed relay test based on the counts measured. Once the leads connected to the relay coil are identified, cyclic testing of the relay can be performed.

摘要: A system and method are provided for operating a power generating asset having a generator operably coupled to a power grid. The generator having a rotor and a stator. The stator being operably coupled to a transformer, and ultimately to the power grid, via a sync-switch assembly. The sync-switch assembly having a plurality of switching devices electrically coupled in parallel. Accordingly, a controller detects an approach of at least one operating parameter of the power generating asset to a first parameter threshold. In response to detecting the approach of the operating parameter to the first parameter threshold, the controller independently changes an operating state of a first switching device of the plurality of switching devices of the sync-switch assembly. Each switching device of the plurality of switching devices is independently controllable via the controller.

摘要: A method for estimating the state of an electrical switching apparatus, the switching apparatus including separable electrical contacts configured to be coupled to an electrical conductor, and an electromagnetic actuator, controlled by a control circuit and including a movable core, coupled to the separable contacts, and a coil, which is passed through by a coil current. The method includes measuring, by means of sensors associated with the coil, values of the coil current in a time interval, while the electromagnetic actuator is kept in a stable and in particular closed position, and computing, by means of an electronic control device of the switching apparatus, one or more values of a magnetic flux of the coil from the measured coil-current values, and using coil-voltage and coil-resistance values known beforehand.
