Abstract: Continually optimising the operating condition of an electrostatic filter comprises: (a) operating with a direct voltage with superimposed pules, derived by full-wave rectification of the mains voltage, the time spacing between successive pulses being variable by screening a selectable number of full mains waves; (b) operating with a constant number of pulses in the normal phase and subsequent test phase of each of successive operating periods; (c) measuring the residual voltage during the normal and test phases in each of successive cycles (1,2,3...,k,...) at a given limitation of the current or voltage and iteratively varying the limitation, depending on the residual voltage change from cycle, so that the residual voltage tends towards a max.; and (d) operating the test phase of each operating period with a number of pulses differing by 1 from that in the normal phase, measuring and comparing the mean voltage values in the normal and test phases and, depending on the difference, iteratively varying the number of pulses from operating period to operating period such that the mean voltage value tends towards a max..

Abstract: The tram consist of at least two cars pivoted to each other, supported by bogies along the centre line of each car. All the bogies are in a fixed relation to each other as regards their turn angle relative to the cars, regardless of the relative position of the cars. This fixed relation is expressed by the equation: 0 = K1.psi 1 - K2.psi 2 + K3.psi - K4.psi 4,..., - (-1n).Kn.psi n where psi 1 to psi n are the turn angle of the bogie in question, K1 to Kn are freely selectable proportionality factors, and n is any number of cars.

Date Oct. 3, 1996An on-load tap changer of a step switch has a force-storage unit which has a charging slide continuously movable by a bidirectionally rotatable drive shaft and an output part that when tripped suddenly follows the movement of the charging slide and rotates a switching shaft. Respective switches for each phase are each actuatable by respective actuating elements that coact with edges of respective concentric cams rotatable by the switching shaft. An axially movable switching unit is mounted on the switching shaft and the switching unit carries cam disks for actuating the switches, each cam disk being subdivided into an upper and a lower subdisk with different shapes. The switching unit is movable in a direction dependent on the rotation direction of the drive shaft into an upper or a lower position. In the upper position of the switching unit all of the lower cam subdisks and in the lower position of the switching unit all of the upper cam subdisks engage the actuating elements to actuate the respective switches.

Abstract: A switch gearing (8) is arranged between the shears drive (7) and the drive motor (9). The switch gearing allows a variety of operations. The shears are started with a low drive inertia of about 0.1 Mn for a short time span of about 10 ms to eliminate play in the gear and clutch. The shears are accelerated at a constant rate with maximum rate of amplitude change and acceleration inertia up to the nominal shear speed for all the rolled material speeds and cross sections, where the shear speed is faster than the rate of material travel. The cutting begins shortly before the nominal shear speed has been achieved, to a time point where the shear speed is higher than the rolled material speed. The speed at the shear circumference is monitored automatically during the cutting, to maintain an optimum shear overspeed. The assembly may comprise a rigid rotating clutch (10,11) for the connections between the switch gearing the shears drive and the drive motor.
