Control Voltage Isolation System For Electrical Rotating Apparatus Utilizing Fiber Optics And Associated Method

US Patent:
6388248, May 14, 2002
Filed:
Jul 6, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/611138
Inventors:
Irving A. Gibbs - Fletcher NC
Charles A. Morse - Arden NC
Lawrence B. Farr - Asheville NC
Bruce R. Quayle - Pittsburgh PA
Assignee:
Eaton Corporation - Cleveland OH
International Classification:
H03M 160
US Classification:
25022723, 25022718, 25022724, 250214 R, 250551, 327101, 341157
Abstract:
An isolation system is provided for generating a control voltage in a low voltage control system that is representative of the input voltage in a high voltage power system of an excitation system, such as in a rotating electrical apparatus. The control voltage isolation system includes a voltage-controlled oscillator for converting the input voltage into a first frequency signal corresponding to the input voltage. Fiber optic conversion and receiving devices are employed in conjunction with a fiber optic cable to transmit the first frequency signal from the high voltage power system to the low voltage control system. Utilizing a fiber optic device provides voltage isolation between the power system and the control system. The use of a fiber optic device for voltage isolation also resists the damaging effects of relatively high transient currents and voltages from affecting sensitive semiconductor components and the like in the control system. A microprocessor and counter device can also be utilized in association with the isolation system to reconstruct the input voltage by integrating the frequency signal received from the power system into a control voltage representative of the input voltage.

Apparatus And Method For Detecting Hot Spots In An Electric Power Conductor

US Patent:
7188997, Mar 13, 2007
Filed:
Jan 21, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/040669
Inventors:
John M. Tillman - Hendersonville NC, US
Lawrence B. Farr - Asheville NC, US
Robert Yanniello - Asheville NC, US
Cathleen M. Clausen - Arden NC, US
Assignee:
Eaton Corporation - Cleveland OH
International Classification:
G01K 1/14
G01K 13/00
G01K 7/02
US Classification:
374152, 374208, 374179
Abstract:
Hot spots in power conductors are monitored by apparatus comprising a temperature probe embedded in an electrically insulative thermally conductive material in surface-to-surface contact with the power conductor, typically at a joint being monitored. The temperature probe is spaced from the power conductor by the electrically insulative thermally conductive material a distance sufficient to provide electrical isolation, while the material has sufficient thermal conductivity that the temperature probe is able to substantiate trends in temperature changes at the joint. The invention can be incorporated into existing electrically insulative supports for the power conductors.

Electrical Switching Apparatus Providing Coordinated Opening With A Circuit Interrupter And Method Of Operating The Same

US Patent:
8094426, Jan 10, 2012
Filed:
Jun 2, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/476451
Inventors:
Joe M. Kellis - Weaverville NC, US
Lawrence B. Farr - Asheville NC, US
Assignee:
Eaton Corporation - Cleveland OH
International Classification:
H02H 3/00
US Classification:
361109, 361 3
Abstract:
An electrical switching apparatus includes a number of separable contacts, an operating mechanism structured to open and close the separable contacts, a number of sensors structured to sense at least current flowing through the separable contacts, and a processor structured to cooperate with the operating mechanism to open and close the separable contacts. The processor determines a fault from the sensed current flowing through the separable contacts. The processor further responsively opens the separable contacts if the sensed current associated with the fault is less than the interrupting rating of the electrical switching apparatus. The processor keeps the separable contacts closed and waits for another circuit interrupter to interrupt the fault if the sensed current associated with the fault is greater than the interrupting rating.
