Mobile, accurately mechanically variable high reactive power inductor having low headroom requirements suitable for transport on a utility vehicle

摘要

A mobile, accurately mechanically variable high reactive power inductor having low headroom requirements suitable for transport on a utility vehicle such as a truck or automotive test van to a remote field location for testing large capacitative loads such as large capacitors, a group of capacitors, high voltage electrical power transmission lines, sections of transmission networks and the like. This high reactive power inductor is of the type having a magnetic core and an electrical winding magnetically coupled to the core. The core is constructed with upper and lower core segments mounted on respective upper and lower frames. A plurality of linearly telscoping jacks are positioned between the upper and lower frames to hold them positively in alignment in all positions and to vary the size of the gap between the upper and lower core segments. These jacks are constructed to maintain the upper and lower core segments in proper aligned relation irrespective of the movement or inclination of the utility vehicle so that the power inductor can be transported without special precautions to prevent damage and is immediately ready to be put into use in the field following transport to a test site.
