METHOD FOR DETERMINING UNEVENNESS OF CURRENTS DISTRIBUTION IN GROUP OF PARALLEL GATES

FIELD: technology for engineering and testing static electric energy transformers with gates connected in parallel, directly during normal operation. ^ SUBSTANCE: method includes recording temperature of each gate and temperature of environment remotely by means of heat visor. Temperature of environment is determined in area of each horizontal gates row. Excess of temperature of gate surface is calculated over temperature of environment. Current force is calculated in each one of parallel gates on basis of value of calculated temperature excess and total current force in parallel gates of same shoulder. ^ EFFECT: possible comparison of current force in gates connected in parallel and current force in gates of different phases, possible detection of defective gates directly during normal operation, possible detection of abnormal temperature modes of individual gates even in case of absence of signals from standard emergency alarm.
