Abstract:
The present teachings relate to a method 60 in a control unit 12 for closing a contactor device 1. The control unit 12 is configured to enable the movement between the closed position and the open position by energizing a coil 6 of an electromagnetic circuit. The method 60 comprises applying 61 a voltage over the coil 6; determining 62, during a first period of time, current through the coil 6 and voltage over the coil 6 and estimating based thereon model parameters for a model predicting the behavior of the current through the coil 6 if the contactor device 1 were to stay in an open position, and measuring 63, after the ending of the first period of time, current through the coil 6 and determining 64 a difference between, on the one hand the measured current and, on the other hand a predicted current of the model, and repeating the measuring 63 and determining 64 until a state change from open position to closed position is detected by the difference in current.
Abstract:
A resolver system (10) for determining a position angle (200) of a rotating axis comprises a resolver (30) including an exciter coil (40), a first detector coil (50) for generating an X-signal (60) and a second detector coil (70) for generating a Y-signal (80). A signal generator (110) for generating an excitation signal (120) to the exciter coil (40) is configured to modify an excitation signal parameter during normal operation of the resolver system (10). By exciting an exciter coil (40) of a resolver (30) with an excitation signal (120) wherein at least one excitation signal parameter is modified, a fault detector (300) can base its diagnosis on an observation on whether or not this parameter modification is reflected on the X and/or Y values (170, 180) at a resolver output.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a polymer- insulated conductor. The method comprises the steps of a) providing a conductor having a first cross-sectional shape,b) passing the conductor through a conductor-shaping die to shape the conductor such that the conductor obtains a second cross-sectional shape, wherein frictional heat is developed in the conductor,thereby setting the conductor in a heated state, c) applying molten polymer to the conductor when the conductor is in the heated state to obtain a polymer-coated conductor, and d) shaping the polymer-coated conductor by means of a polymer-shaping die to thereby obtain the polymer-insulated conductor.
Abstract:
A main bus-bar consists of a first elongated flat portion and a second elongated flat portion. A longitudinal side of the first elongated flat portion and a longitudinal side of the second elongated flat portion are arranged to be joined with each other at a predetermined angle. The thickness of each of the first elongated flat portion and the second elongated flat portion is non-uniform. Hence the skin effect and proximity effect caused by current carried in the main bus-bar can be reduced greatly. The main bus-bar can be connected to a branch bus-bar directly or be connected to a branch bus-bar by a transfer connector in a bus-bar assembly or a bus-bar system.
