Abrégé

A self-powered recloser is provided. The recloser has a circuit breaker, an electrical actuator, an electrical generator, a capacitor, and a lever. The circuit breaker, in an on state, harvests power from a medium voltage line required to actuate its movable contact to interrupt current flow in the medium voltage line. In an off state, it does not harvest power from the medium voltage line required to actuate its movable contact to interrupt current flow in the medium voltage line. The electrical actuator transitions the circuit breaker from the off state to the on state. The capacitor, when charged, provides the electrical actuator with the electrical power required to transition between states. The lever is moved by an operative. Moving the lever charges the capacitor via the electrical generator. The recloser can be helpful in overhead electricity distribution networks.

Abrégé

A cavity enhanced absorption spectroscopy (CEAS) system is provided that utilizes collimators the incorporate gradient index (GRIN) lenses in lieu of conventional spherical or aspheric refractive lenses. The use of smaller diameter GRIN lenses facilitates a reduced initial beam size entering the sample cavity, which reduces self-interference noise and increases a signal to noise ratio of the measurements. Further, a reduced size and mass of the GRIN lens can reduce a size of the mounting hardware utilized to mount the optical components, which enables more laser beams to be coupled to a single gas cell compared to a similar gas cell integrated with conventional refractive collimators. A larger number of lasers enables more gas peaks to be measured substantially simultaneously using the CEAS system.

Abrégé

The present invention discloses a circuit interrupter (100) for interrupting an electric current in an electrical line. The circuit interrupter (100) includes an electronic circuit (102) for monitoring and detecting a breaker fault condition. The electronic circuit (102) is connected to a semiconductor switch for energising a solenoid (104) to trip a circuit breaker, wherein a winding of the solenoid (104) is energized to trip the circuit breaker, and wherein the solenoid is configured to have a centre tap in the winding, such that there are two parts (106, 108) in the winding separated by the centre tap. Further, upon detection of an open circuit condition in a part of the winding, the electronic circuit (102) is configured to provide a trip signal to the circuit breaker using the other part of the winding.

Abrégé

A subsea power module is provided. The module has a tank, a power device, a pump, a duct, and a distancing structure. The tank has a tank wall provided with an outwardly protruding corrugation. The power device is arranged in the tank. A dielectric liquid fills the tank. The pump circulates the dielectric liquid in the tank. The duct is arranged in the corrugation such that a chamber is formed between a tip of the corrugation and the duct. The distancing structure spaces apart an outer surface of the duct facing the tank wall and the tank wall in the corrugation. The gaps are formed between the duct and the tank wall in the corrugation, enabling dielectric liquid that has been discharged through the duct outlet into the chamber to be squeezed out from the chamber and the corrugation, and flow towards the pump inlet.
