20090146637 | LOAD TAP CHANGER - A load tap changer includes a single mechanical switch that is movable to create, in a first position, a first conducting path between a first transformer tap and a load. When the switch is in a second position, the switch creates a second conducting path between a second transformer tap and the load. A first thyristor pair or other device creates a first alternate conducting path between the first transformer tap and the load when the switch is disengaged from the first position. A second thyristor pair or other device creates a second alternate conducting path between the second transformer tap and the load when the mechanical switch is disengaged from the second position. Each thyristor pair may be selectively triggered to provide a conducting path when voltage across either thyristor pair exceeds a predetermined level. A gate trigger circuit may be included for each thyristor pair, and a gate control circuit may control each of the gate trigger circuits. | 06-11-2009 |

20120285158 | PRESSURE LIMITING IN HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS - This disclosure provides for pressure limiting a hydraulic system to a desired pressure value by a particular circuit by controlling and closing the compensator when the desired pressure setting is achieved. Closing the compensator will reduced the pressure head and flow in the circuit resulting in improved efficiency. One illustrated embodiment of the disclosure provides a relief valve in the pilot signal for a compensator. The method relates to limiting the pressure on an open side of the compensator, such that the pressure on the other side closes the compensator thereby limiting the pressure and also flow in the hydraulic circuit. In other words, the pressure on the open side is limited by the relief valve. Thus, the pressure on the other side increases thereby regulating the flow and pressure through the compensator. | 11-15-2012 |
20150020511 | METHOD FOR ENERGY RECOVERY OF HYDRAULIC MOTOR - A method to recover energy in a reversible hydraulic motor system during a motor reverse event is disclosed. A swashplate of a hydraulic motor is pivoted over a center position when the hydraulic motor rotates in a first direction and is due to receiving a pressurized fluid from a pump. Thereafter, by de-stroking the pump a pressurized fluid to the hydraulic motor is restricted. Then, a valve is moved to a charge position to store the pressurized fluid into an accumulator. Next, the stored pressurized fluid of the accumulator is discharged to the hydraulic motor as the hydraulic motor begins rotation in an opposite, second direction. Subsequently, the valve is moved to a block position to inhibit flow of the pressurized fluid into or out of the accumulator. By up-stroking the pump, a continuous rotation of the hydraulic motor in the opposite, second direction is maintained. | 01-22-2015 |
