    摘要: Apparatus and method are provided for facilitating air cooling of an electronics rack. The apparatus includes a tile assembly, temperature sensor and controller. The tile assembly is disposed adjacent to the electronics rack, and includes a perforated tile and one or more controllable air-moving devices associated with the perforated tile for moving air through the perforated tile. The temperature sensor is positioned for sensing air temperature adjacent and external to, or within, the electronics rack, and the controller is coupled to the tile assembly and the temperature sensor for controlling operation of the air-moving device. Airflow through the tile assembly is adjusted based on air temperature sensed, thereby facilitating air cooling of the electronics rack. In one embodiment, the tile assembly is a floor tile assembly with an air-to-liquid heat exchanger disposed between the perforated tile and the air-moving device for cooling air passing through the floor tile assembly.

    摘要: An electromagnetic contactor assembly with a sensing circuit for determining contactor state based upon the reluctance of the contactor coil. The coil has an electromagnetic coil and a movable contact separated from the coil by a gap when the coil is not energized. Energizing the coil causes the movable contact to close the gap and contact the coil. The determination of the relationship between the reluctance in the coil when the gap is in an open and closed state allows contactor gap status to be measured by measuring the coil inductance. A sensing circuit is added to the drive circuit to measure changes in AC current during the pulse cycle which holds the contacts in this closed position. The sensing circuit measures the AC current and is able to signal contactor status based on that value.

    摘要: Automated control is provided of rotational velocity of an air-moving device cooling an electronics subsystem of an electronics rack. The automated control includes: automatically responding to a failure event associated with the electronics subsystem of the rack by setting rotational velocity of the air-moving device to a first upper limit (RPM1) above a normal operating limit; sensing motor temperature of a motor of the air-moving device; automatically increasing rotational velocity of the air-moving device to a second upper limit (RPM2) if the sensed motor temperature is below a first predefined temperature threshold (T1), wherein RPM2>RPM 1; maintaining rotational velocity of the air-moving device at the second upper limit while the sensed motor temperature is below a second predefined temperature threshold (T2), wherein T2>T1; and returning to normal operating rotational velocity of the air-moving device subsequent to servicing of the electronics rack responsive to the event.

    摘要: In a delta-connected power supply system, phase switching circuits are employed and are activated during the failure of one of N+1 converter units. This activation is employed even though there has been no outage in any one of the input phases. The result is two operating converters running in effect as three-phase converters. Since each of the converters then acts as a full wave three-phase bridge with a resistor load, the line currents are perfectly balanced although unity power factor is not maintained during this non-normal mode of operation. In such circumstances, higher power factor is temporarily sacrificed to achieve continuous operation and therefore higher overall system reliability.

    摘要: Disclosed is a circuit for preventing damage to a controllable switching circuit as a result of a reverse recovery current originating from a rectifier circuit coupled to the controllable switching element during recovery of the rectifier circuit. The damage prevention circuit includes a reactive impedance circuit coupled in parallel with the rectifier circuit for controlling a reverse recovery current from the rectifier circuit during recovery of the rectifier circuit. A second controllable switching element is employed to direct the reverse recovery current to the reactive impedance circuit in response to recovery of the rectifier. The second controllable switch also directs the reverse recovery current from the reactive impedance circuit to a load, wherein the reverse recovery current may be safely diminished.
