Abstract:
Device for measuring the electric power drawn by a railway vehicle from a high-voltage electric supply line including a current sensor connected to the supply line, a resistive voltage divider connected between the line and earth, first processing devices connected to the current sensor, second processing devices connected to the output of the voltage divider. The current sensor, related processing devices and the voltage divider, are seated in a cavity inside a line insulator. The terminal with the lowest potential of the voltage divider is connected to a conductive member that extends outside the cavity of the insulator. A hollow conductive body, connected to earth contains the second processing devices and is connected to the lower end of the insulator. It includes a wall arranged opposite the member to form a discharger with it.
Abstract:
A railway vehicle (1) is provided with a pantograph (10) movable under the action of a moving device (12) between a raised position, in which it is able to cooperate in contact, in use, with a catenary conductor cable for drawing electrical energy, and a lowered position, in which it is lower than the height where, in use, such catenary is provided; the vehicle is provided with a battery pack and a control system (18) for controlling the moving device (12) and therefore lowering/raising the pantograph (10); the control system has a microprocessor control unit configured to control the moving device (12) in response to signals containing information indicative of the actual position of the vehicle (1), and/or indicative of the presence or absence of the conductor cable (14) in the vicinity of the vehicle (1).
Abstract:
A vehicle has an electric traction chain (3) to supply a drive torque to the wheels, and an energy management system (20; 40) comprising: a generator set (6) configured to generate a first supply voltage and mechanically disconnected from the wheels in every operating condition; a battery storage assembly (21) configured to generate a second supply voltage; a control unit that implements operative conditions of the vehicle, including: (i) powering the electrical traction chain (3) with the first supply voltage; (ii) powering the electrical traction chain (3) with the second supply voltage; (iii) recharging the storage assembly with a network voltage external to the vehicle and coming from a catenary (104); (iv) recharging the storage assembly with the first supply voltage; and (v) recharging the storage assembly with a recovered voltage generated by the traction chain operating as an electrical generator.
Abstract:
In an embodiment of the present invention an integrated device (100, 300) is provided for fuel supply in an internal combustion engine, which comprises at least a pressure reducer (285, 485) comprising a reducer body which contains valve means (160, 360) for reducing and regulating a pressure of the fuel, and a filter (290, 490) comprising a filter body which contains a filter element (230, 430) for filtering the fuel, where at least a portion of the valve body and at least a portion of the filter body are realised by an internally-hollow single body (110, 310).
