摘要: Polarizing signals for electric power system directional overcurrent and distance protection are disclosed herein. The polarizing signal may be determined using a power system tracking signal, generated using a synchronous reference frame to track to a pre-fault voltage, and maintained using a phase-locked loop. The power system tracking signal may be used for a time after a voltage signal is lost, after which a self-polarizing signal may be used. Where voltage signals are not available, a current may be used to generate the polarizing signal.

摘要: An embodiment electronic circuit includes an electronic switch comprising a load path, and a control circuit configured to drive the electronic switch and configured to operate in one of a first operation mode and a test mode. The control circuit comprises a test mode input and is configured to operate in the test mode based on a test signal received at the test mode input. The control circuit in the first operation mode is configured to generate a first protection signal based on a current-time-characteristic of a load current of the electronic switch and drive the electronic switch based on the first protection signal.

摘要: A control system and method for sectionalizing switches and pulse-testing interrupter/reclosers in a distribution grid feeder which enables fault location, isolation and service restoration without requiring an external communications infrastructure to pass information between the switches. The method includes switches entering an armed state when they experience a high fault current during an initial fault event. Then, when the interrupter/recloser runs its test pulse sequence, any armed switch counts all test pulses as fault pulses, while non-armed switches count the test pulses as load pulses. Switches open to isolate the fault based on threshold values of fault pulse count and load pulse count. When an initially active interrupter/recloser completes its test pulse sequence, another interrupter/recloser begins its sequence, and all switches reconfigure their threshold values based on the new interrupter/recloser. Interrupter/reclosers after the initial device use a fast close-open event if necessary to arm some switches for proper fault-count opening.

摘要: An electric vehicle includes an electrical storage device, a charging device that charges the electrical storage device when connected to the external power supply device, a ground fault detection device including a ground fault detection circuit and configured to detect a ground fault while the electrical storage device is being charged, and a controller that carries out communication with the external power supply device and carries out communication with the ground fault detection device. The controller acquires a common-mode noise margin of the external power supply device and transmits a ground fault detection time based on the common-mode noise margin to the ground fault detection device. The ground fault detection device detects a ground fault when the ground fault detection time has elapsed from when the ground fault detection circuit is set to a state where a ground fault is detectable.

摘要: Provided is a control device that stops the power supply when the first FET is short-circuited. In the control device, a boost circuit increases the voltage of one end of a resistor on the boost circuit side to a predetermined voltage that is higher than the source voltage of the first FET. An AND circuit instructs the discharge circuit to decrease the voltage at the other end of the resistor when the voltage at the other end of the resistor is less than a threshold voltage if the AND circuit instructs the boost circuit to increase the voltage at the one end of the resistor on the boost circuit side. The threshold voltage exceeds the voltage at the one end of the resistor if the voltage at the one end of the resistor on the boost circuit is the predetermined voltage and if the first FET is short-circuited.
