    摘要: A switching module includes mechanical relays, semiconductor switches, voltage detectors to detect an input voltage to a power converter, and a controller. When the controller determines that the waveform of the input voltage is abnormal during a first determination period, the controller outputs an open command signal to mechanical relays corresponding to a power source electrically coupled to the power converter. When the controller subsequently determines that the waveform of the input voltage is normal during a second determination period, the controller outputs a close command signal to the mechanical relays.

    摘要: A power control circuit comprising a power supply and a load, the load being synthesized from an impedance synthesizer comprising two-terminal impedance elements connected in series and grouped in impedance modules. The impedance elements in each impedance module are of equal value, while those between the modules bear ratios uniquely defined according to the numbers of impedance elements in the impedance modules. A number of switches associated with said impedance elements short out a selected number of the impedance elements under the control of a first analog signal which may be preprocessed by an analytic function. The analog signal is converted to digital signals by an analog-to-digital converter, then level shifted to control the switches associated with the impedance elements, whereby the amount of power delivered to the load is controllable by the first analog signal. Pulse-width-modulation is deployed to further control the power by a second analog signal, with additional benefit of overload protection.
