METHOD OF CONTROLLING STATE AND RECORDING RUNNING TIME OF POWER PRODUCTION EQUIPMENT AND METHOD TO THIS EFFECT Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC G01R19/00 

FIELD: electricity.

SUBSTANCE: according to the method data on the working state of power production equipment are obtained. Measured useful currents for each phase of the power production equipment are used as data characterising the working state of the power production equipment. At that the output of control commands for switching on increment of the run time meter is made only provided that the operating currents consumed by the power production equipment comply with their rated values for each specific mode with a deviation complying with the permitted rates. Besides readings of the incremented meter of the total no-failure run time are compared with the rated average run time values of the power production equipment specified in its certificate, and when the value is exceeded then ending of the run time for the power production equipment is signalled. Additionally the temperature of the monitored equipment and values of voltage supplied to it are measured. At that transfer of data on the total run time of the power production equipment, input of data on an average time between failures and the rated current values consumed by the power production equipment, as well as limit values of input voltage and temperature of the equipment is made through a wireless modem through a GSM channel and a cellular phone is used as a remote control panel. In case of emergency or upon request, upon transmitting an SMS message through the GSM channel all monitored data will be transferred to the remote control panel and recorded to the extracted flash memory. An apparatus which carries out the said method is also disclosed.

EFFECT: improved objectivity of the operating status control for the power production equipment and effective use of its work resource.
