Device for monitoring an on-load tap changer The on-load tap changer comprises a plurality of contacts for switching between winding taps of a transformer. The device comprises a measuring unit which is designed to detect an acoustic signal of the on-load tap changer. The device also comprises an evaluation unit which is designed such that, from the acoustic signal representing a switching of the on-load tap changer, it determines characteristic variables for acoustic events in the on-load tap changer within a switching process. A wear model is also determined based on previously determined characteristic degradation patterns and the wear of at least one contact of the on-load tap changer is determined based on the characteristic variables and the wear model.

Abstract

The invention illustrates and claims a combined earthing and protective device for a voltage and power converter of modular design for converting a primary AC voltage with one or more phases to a secondary voltage. The combined earthing and protective device comprises input contacts and output contacts which are conductively connected to voltage inputs and voltage outputs of individual modules of the converter. The input and output contacts which are connected to the same individual module are connected to a varistor which becomes conducting when the voltage dropped across the varistor exceeds a first threshold value. A nonconductive switching strip with bridge contacts can be moved from an operating position to an earthing position. In the earthing position, the bridge contacts connect the input and output contacts of the individual modules to one another and to an earth connection. In the operating position, the same input and output contacts are not connected by the bridge contacts and not to the earth connection either.

Abstract

A device receives a measurement signal, and assigns samples thereof to signal window formed from a portion of a sequence of the samples. During initialization, signal windows are determined as initialization windows, and therefrom noise windows are determined and analyzed using an Xth-order model. Initial coefficient tuples are assigned to each noise window, and noise tuples are ascertained therefrom. During examination, signal windows are determined as measurement windows, which use the Xth-order model. The associated coefficients that form a measurement tuple assigned to each of the measurement windows are ascertained, as is a distance of the associated measurement tuple from the noise tuple for each of the measurement windows. The measurement windows whose associated measurement tuple is at a respective distance from the noise tuple that is greater than a limit value are determined as error signal windows representing a signal error.

Abstract

A switching state of a switching arrangement of an electrical distribution arrangement is optimized. In each switching state, an outgoing circuit of the distribution arrangement is connected to a supply by the switching arrangement via a component. Each state differs from others in that the outgoing circuit is connected to the supply via another component. The switching arrangement has enough switching states that each outgoing circuit is connectable to a supply via two different components. An outgoing circuit is presented based on: operating parameters of the components, a switching state, outgoing loads; environmental parameters of the electrical components, forecasted environmental parameters, and forecasted outgoing loads. Forecasted operating parameters are simulated to compare future operating parameters with limit values. Based on likely exceeding limit values in the future, an alternative switching state is suggested such that limit values are not exceeded.

Abstract

A characteristic variable represents a thermal load on an electrical device. A first mathematical model determines the characteristic variable for a determination time based on an ambient temperature of the electrical device and a value of a thermal operating parameter of the electrical device. The first mathematical model describes a dependency of thermal operating parameters of the electrical device at a calculation time based on the ambient temperature of the electrical device and on an electrical load factor. The characteristic variable is determined for the determination time as the equivalent electrical load factor of the electrical device, for which the first mathematical model, taking into account the ambient temperature at the determination time, predicts a value of the thermal operating parameter of the electrical device determined for the determination time.

The sensor detects a discharge signal caused by an actual partial discharge on the cable section, and transmits a measurement signal to the processor. Based on the first measurement signal, the processor determines which among the curves in the set correlates best with the first discharge signal, as the first discharge curve. The processor determines a sensor distance between the actual partial discharge and the sensor based on the distance associated with the discharge curve.

Abstract

An on-load tap-changer of a tap-changing transformer has a switch. The switch has: a take-off contact; a primary fixed contact; and a contact unit. The contact unit has a moving contact, a first arcing contact and a second arcing contact. These contacts are pivotable about a pivot axis during a switchover process such that the contacts assume a first position, in which they make contact with the take-off contact and the primary fixed contact, and a second position, in which they are separated from the take-off contact and the primary fixed contact. The second arcing contact assumes the first position before the first arcing contact when switching over from the second position to the first position and leaves the first position after the first arcing contact when switching over from the first position to the second position.
