A tester for testing a transformer is provided. The tester comprises a primary voltmeter and a plurality of secondary voltmeters. The tester may also comprise an ammeter in series with a voltage source configured to apply voltage to the transformer. The primary voltmeter is configured to measure voltage induced across a primary winding of the transformer, while the secondary voltmeters may simultaneously measure voltage outputs at secondary windings of the transformer. The tester is configured to calculate ratios, saturation curves, and knee points for multiple winding combinations based on the measurements simultaneously obtained by the ammeter and the primary and secondary voltmeters.

The invention relates to a method for monitoring an on-load tap changer according to the known “windowing technique,” wherein for synchronization, the current (I) on the diverter switch is continuously detected, the effective value (Ieff) is calculated, which in turn is differentiated. The corresponding point in time, at which the maximum or minimum of the differentiated value occurs, is evaluated to be the moment for the diverter switch leap (tLU), and produces the synchronization impulse.

An on-load tap changer is provided having a plurality of modules, each of which is operable to change taps in a winding of a transformer. A transmission shaft is connected to the modules and is operable upon rotation to effectuate tap changes in the windings. A servo motor rotates the transmission shaft. The servo motor includes a feedback device operable to generate a feedback signal containing information relating to the position of the motor shaft. A servo drive is connected to the servo motor to receive the feedback signal. The servo drive uses the feedback signal to determine and store a total angular displacement of the motor shaft. The servo drive uses the feedback signal and the total angular displacement of the motor shaft to control the operation of the servo motor.

It is intended to provide a tap change operation monitoring apparatus for an on-load tap changer which can employ relatively simple and low-cost torque sensing means by mitigating an accuracy requirement with regard to detecting a starting time of tap change operation, acquire torque waveform data concerning tap change operation of a diverter switch in an accurate and reliable fashion, and discriminate an abnormal state of the tap change operation with high accuracy. There is provided waveform processing means 47 including a third low-pass filter 70 for generating processed torque waveform data by removing noise components from torque waveform data, first and second low-pass filters 71, 72 having cutoff frequencies lower than a cutoff frequency of the third low-pass filter 70 for generating shaped torque waveform data, and first and second differentiators 73, 74, a multiplier 75 and a maximal value extractor circuit 76 for together extracting time of occurrence of an extremum of a waveform obtained by differentiating the shaped torque waveform data in the time domain within a specific time period as reference operating time.

A fault interrupting and reclosing device includes a circuit interrupter coupled to an actuator. The actuator includes at least one force generating element for generating an opening force for opening the circuit interrupter and for generating a restoring force to close the circuit interrupter. The device further includes a latch to engage the actuator to hold the contacts open once opened. In a preferred arrangement, the device is provided with an automatic mode of operation including a reclose process and a non-reclosing mode of operation. The device also preferably includes a method of determining the end-of-life of a vacuum interrupter monitors characteristics and/or parameters of a fault current or vacuum interrupter operation to predict a percent of life consumed with each fault current interruption operation. A cumulative percent of life consumed may also be determined, and an end-of-life may be predicted based upon the cumulative percent of life consumed.

The invention relates to a method for monitoring contact consumption in multiple contact switches of the load-switching type, wherein the selection and the switching is carried out in one step by the movement of switching contacts and which therefore do not have a separate diverter switch. Every time the multiple contact switch is actuated, the load current is measured. The corresponding, previously stored rated stage voltages for the current switching and information on whether it was shifted “up” or “down”, are used to calculate the switching currents of the breaking contacts, the consumption rates are determined on the basis thereof and the volume consumption is accumulated. Said accumulated value is compared with a previously determined threshold value; once this threshold value is reached, warning messages or other messages are generated.

A preventive maintenance tapping technique includes noting a tap position of a load tap changer and noting a duration that the tap position has been held. The duration that the tap position has been held is compared to a threshold value, and the tap position is changed if the tap position has been held for longer than the threshold value. Similarly, a duty cycle monitoring technique for monitoring life of load tap changer contacts includes detecting an arcing event. Arcing surfaces involved in the arcing event are identified and the effects of the arcing event on the arcing surfaces are calculated. Estimates of the erosion on the arcing surfaces are updated, and the estimates are compared to a threshold value. A signal for maintenance is generated when the estimate exceeds the threshold value.

Automatically changing the tap position in a load tap changer includes noting a polarity of a first tap position of a load tap changer. A duration for which one or more consecutive tap positions of the load tap changer collectively have had the noted polarity also is noted. The one or more consecutive tap positions include the first tap position. The duration for which the one or more consecutive tap positions collectively have had the noted polarity is compared to a threshold value. A change is made from the first tap position to a second tap position with a polarity that is different than the noted polarity when the duration for which the one or more consecutive tap positions collectively have had the noted polarity is longer than the threshold value. A change may be made from the second tap position back to the first tap position.
摘要:
The present invention discloses a method and apparatus (5) for condition diagnosing of an inductive power device (1), such as a transformer or reactor, having power windings (2) immersed in a fluid (3) being cooled by cooling devices (4). The diagnosing method basically compares and evaluates expected heat flows into and out from the inductive power device (1) system together with an actual and a previous heat content of such a system. From the heat flows the heat balance in the system may be obtained and is used for diagnosing the operation conditions of the inductive power device (1). The results from the condition diagnosing may be used as indicators (70) that can alarm operators, may be sent as a data signal (80) to remote and/or portable display means (85), such as a computer, or may be used as input data to control or simulation systems.
