摘要:
In a method for supplying an electrical load of a vehicle with electrical energy by auxiliary converters connected in parallel on the alternating-voltage side, a current flow between the auxiliary converters and a grounded N conductor of an energy supply network is interrupted in the presence a ground fault. The auxiliary converters connected in parallel on the alternating-voltage side are operated with fundamental-wave and pulse synchronicity. An energy supply system of a vehicle, in particular of a rail vehicle, performs this method, with the energy supply system including at least two auxiliary converters arranged in parallel, an energy supply network for supplying electrical loads, at least one switch for interrupting a current flow between the auxiliary converters and the energy supply network.

A direct-current interrupter in an embodiment includes a current-carrying path and a current-interrupting path connected in parallel to the current-carrying path. The current-carrying path includes a first switch and a second switch connected in series and a resistor connected in parallel to the second switch. The first switch has a predetermined first withstand voltage property and switches between conduction and non-conduction of current by using no semiconductor switch. The second switch has a second withstand voltage property lower in withstand voltage property than the first withstand voltage property and switches between conduction and non-conduction of current by using no semiconductor switch. The resistor protects the second switch from voltage to be applied to the second switch. The current-interrupting path includes a semiconductor switch and a current source connected in series and a non-linear resistor connected in parallel to a series connection of the semiconductor switch and the current source.

A system and method for detecting excess voltage drop (EVD) in a three-phase electrical distribution circuit includes a diagnostic system comprising a processor that is programmed to receive three-phase voltages and currents provided to terminals of the electrical machine, determine fundamental components of the three-phase voltages and currents provided to the terminals, and compute positive, negative, and zero sequence currents from the fundamental components. The processor is also programmed to extract a compensated negative sequence current from the negative sequence current component, add the compensated negative sequence current to the positive sequence current to determine fault reference current phasors, determine a negative current reference phase angle for each phase based in part on a phase angle of the positive sequence current, and identify an EVD fault in the electrical distribution circuit based on the compensated negative sequence current, the fault reference current phasors, and the negative current reference phase angles.

A switching device is configured to connect a split-phase power source to a load. The split-phase power source includes a first hot lead, a second hot lead, and a neutral lead. When the split-phase power source is generating power, the voltage between the first hot lead and the neutral lead closes a first contact and the voltage between the second hot lead and the neutral lead closes a second contact. The contacts are connected in series between the first hot lead, the second hot lead and a third switch. The voltage potential present between the first hot lead and the second hot lead closes a third and fourth contact. The third contact is connected in series between the first hot lead and the load and the fourth contact is connected in series between the second hot lead and the load. The switching device protects against open neutral conditions.

A system is provided in which the voltage phases, neutral, and ground are monitored and an alarm is generated if specific trigger conditions are met. These conditions are indicative of a possible loose neutral, loose wiring, or general over/under voltage condition. Specific algorithms can be used to determine the possibility of a loose wiring condition, and if limits are met, various alarm modes are started.

The continuity of the coil of the actuating solenoid of an electric power switch is detected through utilization of a signaling device, such as a light emitting diode (LED) that monitors energization of a dc power supply fed from the source side of the coil. A circuit energized from the other side of the coil generates a dc voltage V2 that is applied to the gate electrode of an electronic switch shunting the LED. The voltage V2 is greater than the dc supply voltage to bias the electronic switch off so that the LED is illuminated when there is continuity through the coil. If the coil fails, V2 will be zero and the electronic switch is turned on to short circuit the LED to signal the failure of the coil.
摘要:
A fault sensing electrical wire (411) utilizes one or more sensor strips (407) which provide an impedance change when the wire is subject to an overtemperature condition or mechanical damage of the wire. A control unit (402) measures the impedance of the sensor strips of the fault sensing wire and provides a control signal (405) to initiate an alarm or protective action based on the severity of the condition. The control unit (402) may monitor a number of fault sensing wires simultaneously or in sequence. The apparatus may be used to sense an electrical arc occurring in the insulation of the wire.
