In a hydropneumatic accumulator, the gas volume contained therein is monitored by measuring the volume increase in the hydraulic fluid, which takes place during a pressure increase at a given minimum pressure. Moreover, for monitoring purposes, the hydraulic pressure is measured and a signal transmitted at insufficient gas volume as a function of the volume increase and the pressure increase. In order to obtain reliable signals concerning the filling state of the accumulator at all ambient operating temperatures, the temperature of the environment and the gas volume is detected, a standard value for the volume increase proportional to the ratio of the gas temperature to the minimum pressure determined and the volume increase causing the pressure increase compared to this standard value.

In a circuit arrangement for measuring currents at high potential, a capacitor, charged in accordance with the current to be measured, is shunted by a light emitting diode which generates a light pulse sequence with a frequency proportional to the current. In series with the diode is a switching element with a control terminal, to which the output of a control device is connected. The input of the control device is connected to a threshold arrangement disposed parallel to the capacitor and the supply terminals of the control device are connected to the capacitor.

The invention is directed to a control electrode for high-voltage apparatus which alters the electric field in the vicinity of the voltage-carrying parts. The control electrode includes a formed body of a conductive plastic foam material. The control electrode is suitable, for example, for multipole medium-voltage switching apparatus wherein the pole spacing can be reduced with the air of control electrodes of the invention.
