Soluble water scavenger molecules for use with dielectric fluids are disclosed. An example dielectric fluid-based composition for reducing water content in a dielectric fluid may include a water-scavenging agent disposed within a dielectric fluid. The example dielectric fluid-based composition may further include the water-scavenging agent being soluble in the dielectric fluid. The example dielectric fluid-based composition may further include the water-scavenging agent being configured to react with water molecules in the dielectric fluid. The example dielectric fluid-based composition may be disposed in an electrical equipment immersed in oil. The electrical equipment may further include at least one solid insulation in operational contact with the dielectric fluid.

A current converter with fluid or oil paper insulation for high voltage, with a head housing through which a primary conductor passes. A measurement device through which the primary conductor passes is arranged in the head housing. The primary conductor includes two different primary conductor types, more specifically an outer tube primary conductor as the first type and one or more inner conductor primary conductors as the second type. The outer tube primary conductor surrounds an interior that is designed to receive the inner conductor primary conductor, and the inner conductor primary conductors can be inserted into the interior. The outer tube primary conductor is used to transmit power and creates an encasement for the inner conductors. Only the outer tube primary conductor needs to be sealed with respect to the head housing. Inner conductors therefore can be easily inserted or re-moved subsequently, without the need for sealing measures.

An electrical device for connecting to a high-voltage network has a vessel, which is filled with an insulating fluid, an active part, which is arranged in the vessel and which has a magnetizable core and partial windings for producing a magnetic field in the core, and a cooling apparatus for cooling the insulating fluid. The electrical device can be operated at high temperatures. At least one barrier system is provided, which at least partly delimits encapsulated spaces, in each of which at least one partial winding is arranged, the barrier system guiding the insulating fluid cooled by the cooling apparatus across the encapsulated spaces in such a way that different encapsulated-space temperatures arise in the encapsulated spaces.

An electric device, for example a track transformer, connects to a high-voltage line. The electric device has a magnetizable core, at least one winding which is arranged in the vicinity of the core, and a housing which is filled with an insulating fluid and in which at least one winding is arranged. The core is arranged at least partly outside of the housing. In order to allow a stable mounting of a core formed of two halves, the core is arranged completely between two opposing pressing plates, between which tension elements for clamping the core extend.

A heat exchanger comprising a primary side; a secondary side; at least one primary structure on the primary side defining at least one primary space on the primary side; and at least one secondary structure on the secondary side defining at least one secondary space on the secondary side; wherein one or more of the at least one primary structure and one or more of the at least one secondary structure delimit a coolant volume separated from the at least one primary space and separated from the at least one secondary space; wherein one or more of the at least one primary structure and/or one or more of the at least one secondary structure comprises a three dimensional lattice body.

A method of estimating future aging of a transformer includes generating probabilistic models of factors that affect effective aging of the transformer, generating probabilistic profiles of the factors that affect effective aging of the transformer based on the probabilistic models, generating expected hot spot profiles from the probabilistic profiles, simulating a plurality of aging scenarios of the transformer based on the expected hot spot profiles and ambient temperature profiles, and estimating future aging of the transformer from the plurality of aging scenarios.

A power inductor includes a housing and a magnetic core disposed in the housing. The core includes a first segment and a second segment spaced apart from each other to define a gap. The first and second segments are supported in the housing such that they are movable relative to each other to increase and decrease the size of the gap. A passive actuator is disposed in the housing and is configured to move the second segment relative to the first segment to increase and decrease the size of the gap. The passive actuator includes a shape-memory alloy configured to expand as temperature of the inductor increases to urge the first and second segments apart to increase the gap and to contract as the temperature decreases so that the first and second segments move towards each other to decrease the gap.
