    摘要: The service life of electrical equipment is predicted using a thermal history sensor mounted in the electrical equipment. At least one thermal history sensor is mounted inside or on an outer wall surface of electrical equipment. The thermal history sensor includes dissimilar metal joints, and the resistance values of the dissimilar metal joints change in response to the amount of intermetallic compound growing in the dissimilar metal joints due to the temperature inside the electrical equipment or of the outer wall thereof during operation. A determining mechanism periodically or irregularly monitors and stores in memory the resistance values of the dissimilar metal joints from the thermal history sensor, and uses the stored history of resistance values to predict the service life of the electrical equipment.

    摘要: A semiconductor device for power supply control includes an on/off control signal generation circuit which generates a control signal for turning on or off a switching element; a current detection terminal to which voltage in proportion to a current flowing in a primary-side winding wire of a transformer is input; a pull-up unit with high impedance provided between the current detection terminal and a terminal to which an internal power supply voltage is applied; and a terminal monitoring circuit which determines that the current detection terminal is abnormal when comparing the voltage of the current detection terminal with a predetermined voltage and detecting that the voltage of the current detection terminal is higher than the predetermined voltage. When the terminal monitoring circuit detects abnormality of the current detection terminal, a signal generation of the on/off control signal generation circuit is stopped by a signal output from the terminal monitoring circuit.

    摘要: A deviation compensation method of a potential transformer is provided. The deviation compensation method includes: providing first to Nth potential transformers to be installed at different locations in a high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission system; supplying a first voltage to the first to Nth potential transformers provided; measuring voltage values output through the first to Nth transformers by the first voltage supplied; determining whether there is a deviation between the measured voltage values; and determining compensation values for correcting the measured voltage values to the same voltage value when there is the deviation.

    摘要: A testing container includes a right-parallelepiped-like container, electrical components of a transformer test system which are arranged in the container and which represent a respective heat source during a testing operation, and a cooling system including at least one heat exchanger. In addition, the testing container includes a movement apparatus configured to move the at least one heat exchanger from a transport position within the container into a working position which is located at least partially outside the container. Thus, the at least one heat exchanger is movable by means of the movement apparatus from the transport position within the container into the working position which is located at least partially outside the container.
