    Abstract: A power supply unit (PSU)-based power supply system. A first output port of the PSU is connected to a main control component of a main board by using a voltage converter, and is used to supply power to the main control component in a system standby state. A second output port of the PSU may be connected to a load variable component of the main board; or the first output port and the second output port of the PSU may be connected to the load variable component by means of a power switching apparatus, and an enabling end of the PSU is grounded, so that both the first output port and the second output port have a voltage output when the PSU is inserted into the main board. A current value output by the second output port is relatively large load variable, which meets a power supply requirement of the load variable component. The second output port of the PSU is connected to each power-on running component of the main board by means of a switch component, and the switch component is in an off state in the system standby state. After the system is powered on, the switch component is in an on state, so that each power-on running component does not have extra power consumption when the system is in standby mode.

    Abstract: A protection system includes: a first positive terminal; a second positive terminal; a first relay configured to be opened and closed by contact and separation of a first contact portion and a second contact portion; and a fuse. The first relay and the fuse are connected in series between the first positive terminal and the second positive terminal, and when an electric current exceeding a threshold current flows to the first relay, the first contact portion and the second contact portion are separated in the first relay at a first time, and when the first contact portion and the second contact portion are separated, an arc discharge occurs between the first contact portion and the second contact portion, an arc discharge occurs between the first electrode and the second electrode of the fuse at a second time, the arc discharge occurs at both of the first relay and the fuse and a difference in potential between the first electrode and the second electrode of the fuse increases during a period between the second time and a third time, and the first positive terminal and the second positive terminal are disconnected at a fourth time.

    Abstract: A solid-state circuit breaker (SSCB) with galvanic isolation capability includes an electrical bus with line-side and load-side terminals and a solid-state device connected in series with a closeable air gap between the line-side and load-side terminals. During normal operating conditions, the solid-state device is switched ON and the SSCB forces movable contacts inside the SSCB to close the air gap, so that an electrical current path is maintained between the line-side and load-side terminals and electrical current is allowed to flow through the SSCB and an attached load. Upon a short circuit or overload of unacceptably long duration occurring in the load circuit, the SSCB switches the solid-state device OFF to prevent current from flowing through the load, and releases the movable contacts to open the air gap and thereby establish galvanic isolation between the line-side and load side terminals.

    Abstract: A control system and method for tie point fault interrupter and sectionalizing recloser devices in an electrical grid feeder. The technique enables automated sectionalizing reclosers equipped with three-phase current sensing and single- or three-phase voltage sensing, and able to detect pulse-closing operations, to isolate faults and restore load based on pulse count rather than requiring source re-energization and waiting for loss of voltage timers. The system includes a fault interrupter initiating a pulse-testing sequence upon detecting loss of voltage, where a number of preliminary pulses are used to distinguish transient faults from persistent faults, and pulses are counted by the sectionalizing reclosers to determine which of these devices should open. An alternate configuration is disclosed for reinitializing faults, including the fault interrupter closing if initial pulse testing indicates no fault, and subsequent cycles cause a sectionalizing recloser adjacent the fault to open, allowing the fault interrupter to close and hold.
