DEVICE FOR MEASURING ELECTRIC CURRENTS

A device for measuring electric currents includes Rogowski-type current sensors, each configured to measure an AC electric current in an electrical conductor, each sensor including coils that are electrically connected in series to form a measurement circuit and being joined to one another to delimit a central zone of this sensor to receive the corresponding electrical conductor. One of the coils is common to the first and second sensors, this common coil being electrically connected to the first and second measurement circuits.

Voltage regulation for multi-phase power systems

A power system can include a first tap changer for a first regulated transformer, where the first tap changer has a plurality of first positions. The power system can also include a second tap changer for a second regulated transformer, where the second tap changer has a plurality of second positions. The power system can further include at least one first instrument transformer coupled to the first regulated transformer. The power system can also include at least one second instrument transformer coupled to the second regulated transformer. The power system can further include a controller coupled to the at least one first instrument transformer and the at least one second instrument transformer, where the controller adjusts the first tap changer to a first adjusted position among the first positions based on the first measurements of the first regulated transformer and the second measurements of the second regulated transformer.
