A method for identifying asymmetrical vibrations during the operation of an electric device which is connected to a high-voltage grid: Operational noise of the electric device is detected using acoustic sensors which output measured values. The measured values and/or values derived therefrom are transmitted to a communication unit via a close-range communication connection and then transmitted to a data processing cloud via a far-range communication connection. The measured values and/or the values derived from the measured values are separated into frequency components by the data processing cloud using a Fourier transformation, thereby obtaining a frequency spectrum. Odd and even frequency components of the frequency spectrum are ascertained on the basis of a base frequency of the high-voltage supply grid and put into a ratio R relative to one another. The presence of asymmetrical vibrations is indicated if the ratio R exceeds a specified threshold.

A method for determining a direct current component in an electric device that is connected to a high-voltage supply network. The method includes the following steps: acquiring operating noises of the electric device with the aid of acoustic sensors that are part of a portable unit and that provide acoustic signals at the output; breaking the acoustic signals down into their frequency components by a Fourier transformation, yielding a frequency spectrum; determining odd and even frequency components of the frequency spectrum in dependence upon a basic frequency of the high-voltage supply network and setting them in a ratio to one another; concluding that a direct current component is present if the ratio exceeds a predefined threshold value.

A radiator for cooling a transformer, preferably a power transformer, or a choke, includes a plurality of plate-shaped radiator elements which are disposed parallel to one another and through which a coolant can flow in parallel. At least one elastically deformable element is provided at least between two adjacent radiator elements and is constructed in such a way that it counteracts an expansion of the radiator elements perpendicular to the surface of the radiator elements. Plastic deformation of the walls of the radiator elements can be prevented by the elastically deformable elements. A unit including a transformer or a choke and a method for producing a radiator are also provided.
