20140347070 | Measuring Method Using a Measuring Apparatus for Cable Diagnosis and/or Cable Testing - A measuring apparatus is connected to a cable to perform testing and diagnosis of the cable. The measuring apparatus includes a voltage source, a resistance, a switch, and an inductance forming a charging circuit, and two anti-parallel thyristors or switched diodes together with the inductance forming a series resonant circuit loop. The apparatus produces a low frequency alternating voltage signal train including a low frequency test signal followed by a low frequency diagnostic signal. The diagnostic signal is a damped decaying signal oscillation in the resonant circuit connected to the test cable. At least one of the signals is bipolar. Both cable testing and cable diagnosis can be performed using the same single measuring apparatus in a single measuring procedure. | 11-27-2014 |
20140062497 | Method and Apparatus for Reducing Interference in Electrical Locating of a Buried Cable Sheathing Fault - A method and an apparatus are provided to reduce or eliminate interference signals that have been additively superimposed on a useful signal for locating a cable sheathing fault of a buried electrical cable. A correction unit includes a filter, a delay device and/or a DC component estimator. The correction unit automatically determines a transient interference signal and a DC offset voltage component that have been superimposed on the useful signal as received in an input signal of the correction unit, and then subtracts these determined interference signals from the input signal to provide the interference-free or interference-suppressed useful signal as the output. | 03-06-2014 |
20120105073 | Arrangement for Eliminating Interference from Acoustic Signals in a Ground-Borne Sound Locating Process - An apparatus including a portable receiver with an acoustic sensor and a magnetic field sensor is adapted for locating a fault in an underground electrical line by evaluating ground-borne acoustic signals and electromagnetic signals emitted from a succession of sparking arc-overs caused at the fault location by voltage pulses fed into the electrical line. The apparatus further includes an arrangement for eliminating interference noises from the acoustic signals, wherein the acoustic received signals are delivered to and stored in a memory, and then a respective acoustic signal is processed with reference to a previous stored acoustic signal by a processing algorithm in a processing unit. Start time points of the individual acoustic signals are synchronized with reference to associated electromagnetic signals. A result of the processing algorithm is supplied to an evaluating unit. | 05-03-2012 |
