Abstract

The present invention relates to an apparatus for calibrating a power measuring system for power transformers. The general inventive concept involves the two reference measuring systems that are known from the prior art for the calibration of a current transformer, a voltage transformer and an evaluation device being integrated in a shared apparatus, according to the invention, for calibrating a power measuring system for power transformers, which apparatus is furthermore arranged on a container such that the apparatus can be moved by means of a trailer that holds the container for the purpose of in-situ calibration of the power measuring system of power transformers.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An apparatus for calibrating a power measurement system for a power transformer, the apparatus comprising a high-voltage transformer, a reference voltage transformer, a high-current circuit, a high-current transformer, a reference current transformer, a reference evaluation device, reference measuring cables, and a common container,
wherein, during calibration, the apparatus is connected with a power measurement system that comprises a voltage transformer, a current transformer, and an evaluation device that are looped into the high-current circuit;
wherein the high-voltage transformer supplies a predetermined calibrating voltage;
wherein the reference voltage transformer is electrically connected with the high-voltage transformer, the reference voltage transformer being a capacitive voltage transformer and being in turn electrically connected by the high-current circuit both with the high-current transformer and with the reference current transformer that is an inductive current transformer;
wherein the reference evaluation device is electrically connected via the reference measuring cables both with the reference voltage transformer and the reference current transformer, respectively, and determines the corresponding active power, the apparent power, the frequency, and the phase angle between respectively applied current and applied voltage;
wherein at least the high-voltage transformer, the reference voltage transformer, the high-current circuit, the high-current transformer, the reference current transformer, the reference evaluation device, and the reference measuring cables are within the common container;
wherein a separate, electromagnetically shielded control room is provided within the container,
wherein at least the evaluation unit is in the control room; and
wherein the voltage transformer, the current transformer, and the evaluation device, are inside an electrically operative connection with the high-current circuit in such a manner that an on-site calibration can be performed on the power measurement system for a power transformer by way of system calibration.

2. The apparatus for calibrating a power measurement system defined in claim 1 , wherein the evaluation device is electrically connected both with the voltage transformer and with the current transformer, respectively, via measuring cables.

3. The apparatus for calibrating a power measurement system defined in claim 1 , wherein the voltage transformer, the current transformer, and the evaluation device are within the container.

4. The apparatus for calibrating a power measurement system defined in claim 1 , wherein the voltage transformer, the current transformer, and the evaluation device are outside of the container.

5. The apparatus for calibrating a power measurement system defined in claim 4 , wherein the voltage transformer and the current transformer are electrically looped into the high-current circuit by an extendable high-current connection, and the evaluation device communicates with the reference evaluation device by a data connection.

6. The apparatus for calibrating a power measurement system defined in claim 1 , wherein the voltage transformer to be calibrated is a capacitive voltage transformer.

7. The apparatus for calibrating a power measurement system defined in claim 1 , wherein a calibrating voltage of 100 kV and higher can be generated by the high-voltage transformer.
