摘要:
A measuring unit for simultaneous measurement of two current values and two voltage values of a power line with three high-voltage conductors includes: three two-pole electrical interconnections, each interconnection being configured to be connected between two separated ends a high-voltage conductors; a first and second current sensor, configured and arranged to measure a current through the first interconnection and through the third interconnection respectively; and a first and second voltage sensor, configured and arranged to measure a voltage between the first and second interconnection and between the second and third interconnection. The measurement of the two current values and the two voltage values is at a floating potential. This measuring unit may be installed directly on all three phases, of a substation for example, with its own internal power source and with no ground connection. Such features are important for power systems with high penetration of variable renewable energy resources such as solar PV or wind.

A personal mobile system for detecting unsafe electrical power levels. Magnetic sensors detect a magnitude of a magnetic field produced by a power line. A GPS determines the location of the detected the magnetic field. A distance from the location of the detected the magnetic field is determined. In response to determining that the magnitude of the detected magnetic field produced by the power line exceeds the stored electrical power level threshold, based on the determined distance, an alert module produces an alert on the personal mobile system.

A mounting assembly and method that utilize Hall effect sensors to detect orientation and insertion of a portable device in a base are provided. Hall effect sensors positioned on one of a portable device and a base are arranged to interact with one or more magnets positioned on the other of the portable device or the base such that a change in proximity of at least one of the magnets to at least one of the sensors will cause the sensor to output a voltage signal that differs depending on the nearness of the magnet. Depending on at least one of the magnitude of the signal, the profile of the signal over time, and the identity of the sensor that output the signal, it is determined whether the orientation of the portable device in the base is correct and/or if the portable device is fully inserted in the base.

A device for use in a power transmission system to sense GICs. The device may be a part of a reactance-injecting device on a power line, it may be a standalone device, or it may be a part of another type of device. The device may include a sensor to sense magnetic fields (e.g., a Hall effect sensor). The sensor may be positioned in the air gap of a magnetic core formed concentrically around the power line. The signal from the sensor may be converted to a digital signal and separately processed to determine the magnitude of the AC current and the magnitude of the DC (or quasi-DC) current. If the output signal of another NC current sensor is available, that output signal may be used to adjust/calibrate the determined magnitude of the DC current. The sensor may communicate with other devices in a network to provide GIC information.

A current sensor includes semi-annular first and second magnetic cores, first and second sensors, and a differential output part. The first magnetic core is provided around a wire in which an electric current flows and includes a pair of first magnetic core parts each having a quarter annular shape. The first sensor is provided in the gap between the first magnetic core parts and detects a magnetic flux. The second magnetic core is provided around the wire and includes a pair of second magnetic core parts each having a quarter annular shape. The first and second magnetic cores form an annular magnetic core. The second sensor is provided in the gap between the second magnetic core parts and detects a magnetic flux. The differential output part outputs the differential output of the outputs of the first and second sensors.

When miniaturizing an ammeter or wattmeter, a magnetoresistance effect element given a barber-pole electrode could be considered an efficient device. It was considered that a barber-pole electrode formed at 45° with respect to an axis of easy magnetization (the longitudinal direction of a rectangular-shaped element) would be the most efficient. Current is refracted, however, when the current passes through the boundaries of substances with different conductivity, so a barber-pole electrode formed at 45° is not the most efficient. According to the invention, it is possible to provide a highly efficient magnetoresistance element having a rectangular magnetic film whereupon an axis of easy magnification is induced in the longitudinal direction, and a barber-pole electrode which is formed upon the magnetic film at an oblique angle θ to the longitudinal direction, where the magnetoresistance element takes into account current refraction at the boundary between the electrode and the magnetic film.

An electricity meter including a circuit which receives a first A.C. signal having a magnitude dependent on power passing through a conductor, and a mains A.C. signal. While the mains signal is positive, first pulses are generated at a rate dependent on the first A.C. signal. While the mains signal is negative, second pulses are generated at a rate dependent on the first A.C. signal. Pulses are counted over time, the sum of pulse counts being a measure of energy used.
