    Abstract: A harvesting and measurement device is operable in at least a normal operation mode, a demand measurement mode, and a fault measurement mode. In the normal operation mode, the device is able to harvest energy from an associated power line and monitor current and voltage conditions through a lower power circuit. In the demand measurement mode, harvesting elements of the circuit are disabled so as not to interfere with accuracy of demand current measurements. In the fault measurement mode, one or more Hall sensors are activated such that high currents can be accurately measured.

    Abstract: An isolated DC to DC converter including zero voltage switching and a current doubler. Current sensors are located between a positive input of the DC to DC converter and a current doubler is used in an output stage of the DC to DC converter in order to enable more accurate current sensing in a main transformer to prevent saturation of the transformer core and provide increased efficiency and power output with lower electromagnetic noise. The input of the DC to DC converter is isolated from the output of the DC to DC converter, and the DC to DC converter may be used in a hybrid or all-electric vehicle to provide an accessory bus from a power source of the vehicle.

A reflector housing may be coupled to the heat sink and configured to receive a reflector. The reflector can have any geometry, such as a bell-shaped geometry including two radii of curvature that join together at an inflection point. An optic coupler can be coupled to the reflector housing and configured to cover electrical connections at the substrate and to guide light emitted by the LED package.
