Field device electronics fed by an external electrical energy supply

Field-device electronics including an electric current adjuster, through which a supply current flows. The electric current adjuster adjusts and/or modulates the supply current. The supply current is driven by a supply voltage provided by the external energy supply. Additionally, the field-device electronics has an internal operating and evaluating circuit for controlling the field device, as well as an internal supply circuit lying at a field-device electronics, internal input voltage derived from the supply voltage and feeding the internal operating and evaluating circuit. Provided in the supply circuit is a useful-voltage controller flowed-through, at least at times, by a first component of the supply current. The useful-voltage controller provides in the field-device electronics a first internal, useful voltage controlled to be essentially constant at a predetermined, first voltage level. Moreover, the supply circuit has a second useful-voltage controller flowed through, at least at times, by a second current component of the supply current. The second voltage controller provides in the field-device electronics a second internal, useful voltage, which is variable over a predetermined voltage range. Also contained in the supply circuit is a voltage adjuster flowed-through, at least at times, by a third current component of the supply current. The voltage adjuster serves to set and maintain the internal input voltage of the field-device electronics at a predetermined voltage level. In accordance with the invention, the operating and evaluating circuit is flowed-through, at least at times, both by a first useful current driven by the first useful voltage, and by a second useful current driven by the second useful voltage.

Energy saving electrical power control device and method

An electrical load power control device is described that reduces the power consumption of inductive and inductive-dissipative loads, including for example fluorescent lighting. The power circuit of the invention interrupts AC power supply to the load during a plurality of intervals within each half cycle of the AC mains signal frequency whilst providing an alternate path for current flow during the interruption to maintain a sinusoidal-like current to the load. During a crossover lag zone encompassing zero crossing points of the voltage and current and during which the voltage and current have opposite polarities, both elements of the power switch are switched to the “on” condition, one element of the circulating switch is switched to the “on” condition when a positive current is flowing in the load and the other element of the circulating switch is switched to the “on” condition when a negative current is flowing in the load. The power factor presented by the load and other current parameters of the load such as form factor and total harmonic distortion may be desirably modified. In the preferred embodiment an oscillator has a duty cycle control circuit which deactivates the power switch during a predetermined portion of the oscillator duty cycle. The duty cycle establishes the amount of power reduction.

Single-pole disconnector with vacuum switching tube as auxiliary contact system

The invention relates to a switching device for an air-insulated high-voltage disconnector, comprising at least a main switch and an auxiliary switch, the main switch comprising a single-pole disconnector having at least one movable contact arm and a fixed mating contact; the auxiliary switch comprises a vacuum switch chamber, the vacuum switch chamber is provided with an electric switch and at least one control element arranged on the switch, and the vacuum switch chamber is conductively arranged on the matching contact piece of the main switch; the electrical switch of the vacuum switching chamber is configured in such a way that an electrically conductive connection between the mating contact of the main switch and the movable contact arm of the main switch is established or interrupted by the movable contact arm of the main switch via an operating element, and the operating element of the vacuum switching chamber is arranged in such a way that the mating contact of the main switch is electrically connected to the movable contact arm of the main switch. The electric switch of the vacuum switch chamber is switched on before the main switch is switched on and is switched off after the main switch is switched off.
