Abstract:
A self contained, automatic water quality monitoring and treatment system includes a water quality interface control module having a signal processor configured to: receive signaling containing information about a baseline test of pH and ORP levels of water to be monitored and also about a subsequent test of the pH and ORP levels of water to be monitored later in time to the baseline test; determine corresponding signaling containing information about the quality of the water being monitored based upon a percentage of change between the baseline test and the subsequent test later in time to the baseline of the pH and ORP levels of water being monitored; and provide the corresponding signaling for remote awareness, including wireless signaling for providing mobile or Internet awareness, and/or for controlling the treatment of the water being monitored.
Abstract:
A motor control circuit is provided for connecting or disconnecting an AC voltage to an AC motor, having a switch having two switch contacts, configured to respond to a process variable and move between open and closed switch contact positions to connect or disconnect the AC voltage to the AC motor; and a snubber circuit arranged across the switch contacts in parallel with the AC motor, and configured to respond to motor inductance when the switch is moved between the open and closed switch contact positions, and provide arc suppression in the switch by dissipating energy stored in the motor inductance. The snubber circuit may include a network having a resistor connected in series with a capacitor, or a metal oxide varistor, or a transient voltage suppressor.
