Distributor load cell for determining phase current in photovoltaic installations

Abstract: The invention presents a distributor load cell (2), set up for mounting on a photovoltaic solar module (40), having a housing having a support section (3) that is designed to be supported on the solar module, a circumferential lateral wall and a lid and also phase line bushings (4a) and/or phase line connectors (4b), and having a phase current measurement module (1) comprising a measurement component (30, 30a, 30b, 30c) and an evaluation device (20) for measuring the phase current in the distributor load cell (2), and also presents a photovoltaic solar module having a plurality of solar cells, wherein the back of the solar module (40), which is remote from the sun, is fitted with a distributor load cell (2), and presents a photovoltaic installation having a plurality of photovoltaic solar modules (40), having a plurality of phase lines (10, 10a, 12), having a generator terminal box, having at least one rectifier for supplying the electrical power that is produced by means of the photovoltaic generator.

Cable module for module inverters of a photovoltaic generator

Abstract: The disclosure relates to alternating-current cabling for a photovoltaic generator having a plurality of photovoltaic modules equipped with module inverters. The alternating-current cabling comprises an alternating-current trunk line and branch cables connected thereto for feeding the alternating current from the plurality of module inverters into the common alternating-current trunk line, such that the alternating-current trunk line can be routed at a distance from the module inverters, and is composed of a plurality of pre-assembled cable modules. The pre-assembled cable modules each comprise the following components: a first and a second trunk-line plug connector; a trunk-line cable segment that connects the first and second trunkline plug connectors; and a branch cable electrically connected to the trunk-line cable segment.

Direct connector for e.g. mechanically connecting printed circuit boards to form backplane utilized for creating transmission links between different electronic devices, has terminal rails connected with each other and arranged in T-shape

Abstract: The connector (10) has terminal rails (22, 24, 26) connected with each other such that the terminal rails are arranged in T-shape. The terminal rails comprise outwardly facing end surfaces (28) that are provided with grooves (30, 32, 34) for insertion of edge portions of associated printed circuit boards (PCB). Each terminal rail comprises clamping tongues pairs (36, 38, 40) provided with electrically conductive clamping tongues (42, 44) for electrically contacting contact surfaces of the PCBs. The tongues are arranged on two sides of the respective grooves.

Geschirmter elektrischer Verbinder

Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft einen geschirmten elektrischen Verbinder (4, 7) zur Verbindung oder Verteilung von geschirmten elektrischen Leitungen oder Steckverbindern untereinander sowie auf Verfahren zur Herstellung des geschirmten elektrischen Verbinders Leitungselemente (11, 21, 71) gehoren einer Leitung (1, 2) oder einem Steckverbinder (4, 7) an Abschirmhullen (10, 20) oder Abschirmgehause (40, 70) dieser Leitungen (1, 2) und dieser Steckverbinder (4, 7) werden von einem Schirmgehause (30) umgeben, das aus einem gegossenen Metallkorper besteht, der in situ auf Ringbereiche (101, 201, 401, 701) vom Abschirmhullen (10, 20) oder von Abschirmgehausen (40, 70) gegossen worden ist, um dort eine Verankerung mit geringem elektrischen Ubergangswiderstand zu ergeben

Field bus system using spread spectrum

Abstract: The invention describes a field bus system, in particular a field bus system ( 10 ), comprising at least one clocked transmitter ( 16 ) and one clocked receiver ( 17 ) for transmitting data signals to another field bus device ( 30 ) or for receiving data signals from the other field bus device ( 30 ). To allow interfering emissions to be reduced, a spread spectrum clock ( 40 ) is provided which supplies a local spread spectrum clock signal (SST 1 ). The spread spectrum clock signal is sent to the transmitter ( 16 ) and the receiver ( 17 ) to allow data signals (DO 1 , DI 1 ) to be transmitted and received synchronously with the local spread spectrum clock signal.
