A real-time detection/recovery system of a power line failure in a power distribution system, which immediately alerts, shuts off, and recovers power in real-time when a disconnection, a resistance increase, a contact failure, a half-disconnection, or a short circuit occurs in a single-phase power supply side of a three-phase or single-phase power distribution system. A power distribution system can be provided with one or more of a power supply side detection/recovery device and a load side detection/recovery device. The power supply side and load side detection/recovery devices can recover, shut off, alert, notify, or control an electrical failure in a power supply line of a single-phase or three-phase power supply by forming a neutral point with an element electrically/electronically connected to the single-phase or three-phase power supply to ground the neutral point or detect a potential difference between the neutral point and the ground.

Disclosed is an intelligent on-line diagnosis method for winding deformation of power transformer. When a transformer is subjected to short-circuit shock or transportation collision, transformer windings may undergo local twisting, swelling or the like under the action of an electric power or mechanical force, which is called winding deformation and will cause a huge hidden danger to the safe operation of the power network. Commonly used diagnosis methods for winding deformation are all off-line diagnosis methods, which have the disadvantages that transformers need to be shut down and highly skilled operators are required. The present invention provide an intelligent on-line diagnosis method for winding deformation on the basis of combination of information entropy and support vector machine. By carrying out feature extraction of current and voltage signals based on permutation entropy and wavelet entropy, integrating the variation of the monitoring indicators of the power transformers in complexity, time-frequency domain and the like and automatically learning the diagnostic logic from fault features through the machine learning algorithm, intelligent diagnosis of winding deformation is realized, thereby reducing labor costs and improving diagnosis efficiency.

Three-phase interleaved LLC and CLLC resonant converters, with integrated magnetics, are described. In various examples, the primary sides of the phases in the converters rely upon a half-bridge configuration and include resonant networks coupled to each other in delta-connected or common Y-node configurations. The secondary sides of the phases can rely upon a full-bridge configurations and are coupled in parallel. In one example, the transformers of the phases in the converters are integrated into one magnetic core. By changing the interleaving structure between the primary and secondary windings in the transformers, resonant inductors of the phases can also be integrated into the same magnetic core. A multi-layer PCB can be used as the windings for the integrated magnetics.
