Abstract

Measuring arrangement for detecting a magnetic unidirectional flux in the core of a transformer, wherein a sensor, formed from a ferromagnetic sensor core which is surrounded by a sensor coil, is arranged in a section of a core limb in a cooking channel, where the section is predefined by the width of the winding, or is arranged in an annular space, formed from an outer peripheral surface of the core limb and an inner peripheral surface of an associated transformer winding, such that a magnetic partial flux is diverted by the core limb and guided over at least one non-ferromagnetic gap.

Claims (34)

1. A measuring arrangement for detecting a magnetic unidirectional flux in the core of a transformer, comprising:

a rod-shaped core limb having a winding; and

a sensor formed from a ferromagnetic sensor core enwound by a sensor coil, said sensor being arranged along a section of the rod-shaped core limb and adjacent to the winding of the rod-shaped core limb, said section being predetermined by a winding width of the winding of the rod-shaped core limb, said sensor being also arranged in one of (i) a cooling channel and adjacent to the winding of the rod-shaped core limb and (ii) an annular space formed by an outer peripheral surface of the rod-shaped core limb and an inner peripheral surface of the winding of the rod-shaped core limb, such that a magnetic flux is partially diverted from the rod-shaped core limb and guided over at least one non-ferromagnetic gap formed between the outer peripheral surface of the rod-shaped core limb and the inner peripheral surface of the winding of the rod-shaped core limb;

wherein the sensor core is prism shaped and extends in a longitudinal direction which is oriented in a direction of a limb axis during use of the sensor;

wherein a length of the sensor core is more than twice its width;

wherein the ferromagnetic sensor core and the sensor coil are formed together as an insert in a bar-shaped suspension device;

wherein the bar-shaped suspension device includes a carrier comprising a fiber-reinforced synthetic material; and

wherein the carrier includes a longitudinally extending shell-like recess for receiving the sensor.

2. The measuring arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a base of the prism is rectangular.

3. The measuring arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the sensor and the carrier form a hybrid component comprising the fiber-reinforced synthetic material manufactured via injection molding technology.

4. A compensating device for compensating a magnetic unidirectional flux in an electrical transformer, comprising:

a sensor which detects the unidirectional flux in at least one rod-shaped core limb having a winding;

wherein:

a) the sensor is formed from a ferromagnetic sensor core enwound by a sensor coil;

wherein:

b) the sensor is arranged along a section of the rod-shaped core limb and adjacent to the winding of the rod-shaped core limb, said section being predetermined by a winding width of the winding of the rod-shaped core limb, said sensor being also arranged in one of (i) a cooling channel of the rod-shaped core limb and adjacent to the winding of the rod-shaped core limb and (ii) an annular space formed by an outer peripheral surface of the rod-shaped core limb and an inner peripheral surface of the winding of the rod shaped core limb, such that a magnetic flux is partially diverted from the rod-shaped core limb and guided over at least one non-ferromagnetic gap formed between the outer peripheral surface of the rod-shaped core limb and the inner peripheral surface of the winding of the rod-shaped core limb;

wherein:

c) the sensor core is prism shaped and extends in a longitudinal direction which is oriented in a direction of a limb axis during use of the sensor;

wherein:

d) a length of the sensor core is more than twice its width;

wherein:

e) the ferromagnetic sensor core and the sensor coil are formed together as an insert in a bar-shaped suspension device;

wherein:

f) the bar-shaped suspension device includes a carrier comprising a fiber-reinforced synthetic material; and

wherein:

g) the carrier includes a longitudinally extending shell-like recess for receiving the sensor.

5. A method for compensating a magnetic unidirectional flux in a magnetic core of an electrical transformer, comprising:

detecting, via a compensating device which is supplied with a sensor signal from a sensor, the unidirectional flux, the sensor being formed from a ferromagnetic sensor core enwound by a sensor coil; and

arranging the sensor along a section of a rod-shaped core limb having a winding and adjacent to the winding of the rod-shaped core limb in one of (i) a cooling channel and (ii) an intermediate space between an inner peripheral surface of the winding and a side face of the rod-shaped core limb, such that a magnetic flux is partially diverted from the rod-shaped core limb and guided over at least one non-ferromagnetic gap formed between an outer peripheral surface of the rod-shaped core limb and an inner peripheral surface of the winding of the rod-shaped core limb, said section being predetermined by a winding width of the winding of the rod-shaped core limb

wherein the sensor core is prism shaped and extends in a longitudinal direction which is oriented in a direction of a limb axis during use of the sensor;

wherein a length of the sensor core is more than twice its width;

wherein the ferromagnetic sensor core and the sensor coil are formed together as an insert in a bar-shaped suspension device;

wherein the bar-shaped suspension device includes a carrier comprising a fiber-reinforced synthetic material; and

wherein the carrier includes a longitudinally extending shell-like recess for receiving the sensor.
