Preventive Maintenance Tapping And Duty Cycle Monitor For Voltage Regulator

View page
US Patent:
7482714, Jan 27, 2009
Filed:
May 31, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/139969
Inventors:
Fred J. Rapant - South Milwaukee WI, US
Richard J. Kaluzny - Greenfield WI, US
Donald A. Down - Brookfield WI, US
Assignee:
Cooper Technologies Company - Houston TX
International Classification:
H01H 1/60
H01H 9/30
H01H 7/00
H01H 19/00
US Classification:
307137, 307141, 200 11 TC, 200 1904, 200 1907
Abstract:
A preventive maintenance tapping technique includes noting a tap position of a load tap changer and noting a duration that the tap position has been held. The duration that the tap position has been held is compared to a threshold value, and the tap position is changed if the tap position has been held for longer than the threshold value. Similarly, a duty cycle monitoring technique for monitoring life of load tap changer contacts includes detecting an arcing event. Arcing surfaces involved in the arcing event are identified and the effects of the arcing event on the arcing surfaces are calculated. Estimates of the erosion on the arcing surfaces are updated, and the estimates are compared to a threshold value. A signal for maintenance is generated when the estimate exceeds the threshold value.

Preventive Maintenance Tapping And Duty Cycle Monitor For Voltage Regulator

US Patent:
7915766, Mar 29, 2011
Filed:
Oct 23, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/256629
Inventors:
Augusto D. Hernandez - Brookfield WI, US
Fred J. Rapant - South Milwaukee WI, US
Richard J. Kaluzny - Greenfield WI, US
Donald A. Down - Brookfield WI, US
Assignee:
Cooper Technologies Company - Houston TX
International Classification:
H01H 9/30
H01H 1/60
US Classification:
307137, 307134, 307135, 307138
Abstract:
The life of load tap changer contacts is monitored by detecting an arcing event; identifying arcing surfaces involved in the arcing event; calculating a per-unit loss of life for the identified arcing surfaces as a result of the arcing event; updating estimates of cumulative erosion for the arcing surfaces; comparing the updated estimates of cumulative erosion to a first threshold value; and signaling for action when at least one of the updated estimates of cumulative erosion exceeds the first threshold value.

US Patent:
20060028185, Feb 9, 2006
Filed:
Dec 23, 2004
Appl. No.:
11/019527
Inventors:
Augusto Hernandez - Brookfield WI, US
Donald Down - Brookfield WI, US
Fred Rapant - S. Milwaukee WI, US
Richard Kaluzny - Greenfield WI, US
Augusto Hernandez - New Berun WI, US
International Classification:
G05F 1/656
US Classification:
323222000
Abstract:
Automatically changing the tap position in a load tap changer includes noting a polarity of a first tap position of a load tap changer. A duration for which one or more consecutive tap positions of the load tap changer collectively have had the noted polarity also is noted. The one or more consecutive tap positions include the first tap position. The duration for which the one or more consecutive tap positions collectively have had the noted polarity is compared to a threshold value. A change is made from the first tap position to a second tap position with a polarity that is different than the noted polarity when the duration for which the one or more consecutive tap positions collectively have had the noted polarity is longer than the threshold value. A change may be made from the second tap position back to the first tap position.

US Patent:
20210143728, May 13, 2021
Filed:
Nov 6, 2020
Appl. No.:
17/091248
Inventors:
- Dublin, IE
Richard Kaluzny - Greenfield WI, US
Randal Malliet - Waukesha WI, US
Daniel Daley - Waukesha WI, US
Shivanand Desai Gaonkar - Goa, IN
Amol Jadhav - Parbhani, IN

Adam Vannieuwenhoven - Glendale Heights IL, US
International Classification:
H02M 1/32
H01H 9/20
H01H 9/02
H01H 1/58
Abstract:

US Patent:
20200249709, Aug 6, 2020
Filed:
Jan 15, 2020
Appl. No.:
16/743043
Inventors:
- Dublin, IE
Fred Joseph Rapant - South Milwaukee WI, US
Richard John Kaluzny - Greenfield WI, US
Daniel Michael Sauer - Port Washington WI, US
Kyle James Heiden - Milwaukee WI, US
International Classification:
G05F 1/14
Abstract:
A control system for a voltage regulation device is configured to determine a tap position of a tap changing mechanism of the voltage regulation device, the control system being configured to: determine an internal impedance of the voltage regulation device based on an initial tap position; determine a voltage of the internal impedance based on a measured load current; determine a voltage of the first winding based on the input voltage, the output voltage, and the voltage of the internal impedance; and determine the tap position based on the voltage of the first winding, N, and a voltage of a second winding, where N is an integer value that represents a count of turns on the second winding.

US Patent:
20140265637, Sep 18, 2014
Filed:
Mar 14, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/829587
Inventors:
Richard John Kaluzny - Greenfield WI, US
Daniel Joseph Daley - Waukesha WI, US
Assignee:
COOPER TECHNOLOGIES COMPANY - Houston TX
International Classification:
H02H 5/00
US Classification:
307125
Abstract:
A system having voltage regulator bypass means provides a means for preventing a voltage regulator to be bypassed in a power system when the difference between a load side voltage of the voltage regulator and a source side voltage of the voltage regulator is not below a certain threshold or substantially small. A voltage regulator controller can also prevent the voltage regulator from being bypassed when a tap changer of the voltage regulator is not in a neutral position.
