A magnetic flux concentrator may be used to direct magnetic flux towards an inside of the rotary transformer.

A positioning device (101) for producing a position signal indicative of a rotational position of a resolver is presented. The positioning device comprises a signal interface (102) for receiving alternating signals (V_cos, V_sin) from the resolver and a processing system (103) for generating the position signal based on position-dependent amplitudes of the alternating signals and on polarity information indicative of a polarity of an excitation signal (V_exc) of the resolver. The processing system is configured to recognize a polarity indicator, such as a change of frequency or phase, on a waveform of one or both of the alternating signals and to determine the polarity information based on the recognized polarity indicator. Thus, the polarity information related to the excitation signal is included in the alternating signals and therefore there is no need for a separate signaling channel for transferring the polarity information to the positioning device.

A method for detecting an imminent pole slip of a synchronous generator electrically connected to a power supply network, whereby a signal characteristic of a power fault is detected and an imminent pole slip is determined via a predefinable value when a load angle of the synchronous generator increases, whereby the following steps are performed.
