DETERMINING THE FLUID DENSITY IN AN ELECTRICAL DEVICE
In a method for determining a fluid density of a fluid in an encapsulated electrical device a sensor unit is used to acquire measurement data. The fluid density is derived from the measurement values. Weather data relating to weather conditions in an environment of the electrical device are collected. Via machine learning, a digital model is generated for the influence of the weather conditions on a measurement deviation of a measurement value from the true fluid density. Using the digital model, a correction value is calculated for measurement values according to the weather data and a measurement value is corrected using the correction value.
Circuit-breaker and mobile device
A circuit breaker is for protecting a low-voltage circuit when current or current-time limits are exceeded in the low-voltage circuit. The circuit breaker includes an electronic trip unit which initiates an interruption or reduction of the current flow in the low-voltage circuit when first current or current-time limits are exceeded, and second current or current-time limits stored in the electronic trip unit, which are characterized by lower current limits or lower current-time limits, the second limits being activatable by an initiated switchover. A communication unit connected to the electronic trip unit is provided, which enables wireless communication, and the circuit breaker is designed such that when a wireless communication signal is received that exceeds a field strength value, the second limits are activated.

FAULT-TOLERANT POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS FOR A MODULAR POWER PLANT
Fault-tolerant power distribution systems for modular power plants are discussed. The systems enable the transmission of a portion of the power generated by a modular power plant to remote consumers. The systems also enable the local distribution of another portion of the generated power within the power plant. The various fault-tolerant systems enable the plant to continuously, and without degradation or disruption, transmit power to remote consumers and distribute power within in the power plant in the event of one or more faults within the distribution system. The various embodiments include redundant power-transmission paths, power-distribution module feeds, switchgear, and other hardware components. Such redundant transmission paths and hardware enable the systems to continuously, and without degradation or disruption, transmit power to remote consumers and locally distribute power to the power plant when one or more faults occur within one or more of the redundant power-transmission paths and/or hardware components.
