POWER SUPPLY DEVICE FOR IMMEDIATE ELECTRIC HEATING OF PIPELINE SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC H02J3/26 

FIELD: electrical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: power supply device (100) for immediate electric heating of a pipeline system contains basically a three-phase transformer (2), a symmetrisation unit (14), a compensation unit (22). The three-phase transformer (2) is adapted for supporting a single-phase load connected between the first phase (6) and the second phase (8) of the transformer (2). The transformer (2) contains at least one first tap switch (10) on the high-voltage side (12) of the transformer (2). The symmetrisation unit (14) contains the first capacitor means (16) connected between the first phase (6) and the third phase (18) of the transformer and an inductor means (20) connected between the second phase (8) and the third phase (18) of the said transformer (2). The compensation unit (22) contains the second capacitor means (24) connected between the first phase (6) and the second phase (8) of the transformer (2). The first tap switch (10), the first capacitor means (16), the second capacitor means (24) and/or the inductor means (20) are adapted for variation under load.

EFFECT: changing the value of capacity and inductivity of the corresponding capacitive and inductive means under load and optimisation under load on a real time basis.
