    摘要: A ground fault circuit interrupter is provided, including a main control chip, a tripping unit and a self-test detection unit, wherein the tripping unit is connected with the self-test detection unit at a detection point and coupled with a load circuit; the self-test detection unit is coupled with the main control chip, and configured to detect a signal at the detection point and output the signal to the main control chip; the main control chip is coupled with the self-test detection unit, and configured to in a self-test state, simulate a circuit fault, perform self-test, and determine whether the circuit fault could be detected and an alarm signal response to the circuit fault is generated, based on the signal. A self-test function and alarm function response to a circuit fault in a ground fault circuit interrupter can be tested during a final test of production.

    摘要: A system and method for performing a self-testing a piezo sounder using a feedback pin while being driven by an ultra-sonic frequency. A method includes operating a sounder device in a test mode, the sounder device is operated in an inaudible frequency range during the test mode and detecting a feedback response voltage. The method includes comparing the feedback response voltage to a reference voltage and providing an indication of a failure mode based at least in part on the feedback response voltage.

    摘要: An electrical power system including an electrical power connector, a contact configured to electrically connect a power supply to a load, a first sensor configured to sense a first characteristic of the electrical power connector, a second sensor configured to sense a second characteristic of the electrical power connector, and an electronic controller. The electronic controller configured to receive a first signal indicative of the first characteristic, receive a second signal indicative of the second characteristic, compare the first signal to a first threshold, compare the second signal to a second threshold, and dynamically adjust at least one selected from a group consisting of the first threshold and the second threshold. Wherein the dynamic adjustment is based on at least one selected from a group consisting of a measured or calculated parameter, an installation condition, an operational limit, a known operational behavior, and parameter threshold information.
