XCTB – for power quality applications up to 20 kHz

XCTB – for power quality applications up to 20 kHz

At Light & Building, the world’s premier trade fair for lighting and building technology in Frankfurt, which is being held from 18 to 23 March 2018, we will be showcasing our new XCTB series of current transformers. They allow high-accuracy harmonic measurements up to 20 kHz. New measuring requirements for inductive current transformers in the low-voltage range Changes…

Strommessungen mit der Rogowskispule… Aber richtig!

Strommessungen mit der Rogowskispule… Aber richtig!

Die physikalischen Grundprinzipien der Rogowskispule Immer häufiger werden für Strommessungen so genannte Rogowskispulen eingesetzt. In vielen Bereichen ist der Einsatz dieses Messmittels sinnvoll oder notwendig, weil in Bestandsinstallationen kein Platz für klassische Stromwandler vorgesehen war. Doch oft werden bei der Projektierung Fehler begangen, die Bauteile schädigen oder das Messergebnis negativ beeinflussen können. Ein gutes Verständnis…

Anlagen-Schutz-Management RCM

Das Differenzstrommonitoring im industriellen Umfeld Ein Fehlerstromschutzschalter (Residual Current protective Device, RCD – früher FI-Schutzschalter) ist seit vielen Jahrzehnten eine Standardkomponente in der elektrischen Unterverteilung. Auch in unserer Wohnung befindet sich ein RCD. Dieser Schalter besitzt einen Bemessungsdifferenzstrom von 30 mA. Normativ ist die Auslösung zwischen 50 und 100 % des Bemessungsdifferenzstroms festgelegt. Bei einer…

Infopost – The use of SF6 in converter construction

SF6 in converter construction The gas sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) is used in electrical power engineering as an insulating and extinguishing medium, particularly in switchgear and its components. In addition to its many positive properties, SF6 has the disadvantage of a very high global warming potential (GWP). According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC),…

Infopost – Influence of the transformer phase error on the billing measurement

Influence of the transformer phase error on the calculation measurement The quality of the billing measurement of electrical energy is not only determined by the percentage amplitude error of current and voltage transformers (1).current and voltage transformers (1). The correct temporal transfer of the current and voltage signals (phase error) of the transformers used is…

Infopost – Billing measurement of electrical energy

Billing measurements of electrical energy in Germany A complicated issue For billing measurement of electrical energy in Germany, at higher currents and voltages that are no longer controlled by the energy meter, inductive current and voltage transformers are used without exception. These devices are subject to the transformer principle. While current transformers represent a transformer…

Power quality measurements – up to 150 kHz – Is that possible?

Power quality measurements – up to 150 kHz – Is that possible?

Power quality measurements in all EVU voltage levels up to 150 kHz – Is that possible? A reliable energy supply has become an important location factor for many companies.While grid failures and voltage fluctuations were among the most important parameters of supply quality in the past, voltage transients and voltage transients or voltage harmonics are…
