    摘要: An apparatus for locating partial discharges in a medium-voltage or high-voltage operating equipment comprises a signal detection device for detecting an electrical signal variable of the operating equipment, a filter device for low-pass filtering of the detected electrical signal variable dependent upon a filter cut-off frequency, a time detection device for detecting a signal propagation time of the low-pass-filtered electrical signal variable, and a comparison device for comparing the detected signal propagation time detected dependent upon the filter cut-off frequency with a reference propagation time for a charge pulse conducted through the operating equipment in order to determine a location of the partial discharge in the operating equipment dependent upon the result of the comparison. Also provided is a method for locating a partial discharge in medium-voltage or high-voltage operating equipment, in particular, using the apparatus.

    摘要: A method for monitoring the operation of an electrical assembly having a plurality of coils disposed electrically in a parallel circuit, includes detecting, off-power, the voltage at each coil by using a tap on a winding, determining the AC component of the detected voltage for each coil, determining the mean value of the voltage at the coils, evaluating the determined AC component for each coil with respect to the determined mean voltage, while applying a weighting, and generating a signal if a weighted deviation of a value describing the AC component of a detected voltage in a coil from a value describing the mean voltage exceeds a specified limiting value. An electrical assembly and a method for operating the assembly are also provided.

    摘要: A system and method for detecting a phase-to-ground fault in an AC electrical machine operates to receive measurements of three-phase voltages and currents provided to the AC electrical machine, compute at least one of a zero sequence component and a negative sequence component of voltage and current from the three-phase voltages and currents, and calculate a fault severity index (FSI) based on the zero or negative sequence component of voltage and current, so as to identify a phase-to-ground fault in the AC electrical machine. Calculating the FSI further includes determining a total value of the zero or negative sequence current, determining a noise-contributed value of the zero or negative sequence current included in the total value, determining a compensated value of the zero or negative sequence current based on the total value and the noise-contributed value, and calculating the FSI based on the compensated value.
