    Abstract: A fault protection circuit for an alternator is provided for preventing faults such as a prolonged full-field condition in the alternator. The fault protection circuit includes a safety switch that is opened when the alternator output voltage becomes too high, as may occur during a full-field condition caused by an electrical short, or when some other fault is detected within the alternator. The opening of this safety switch disconnects a supply voltage feeding an excitation current control switch. The excitation current control switch normally adjusts an excitation current provided to a rotor in the alternator, in order to regulate a voltage output from the alternator. By providing a safety switch that disconnects the supply voltage for the rotor excitation in the alternator, the alternator output voltage may be prevented from reaching excessive levels that may damage devices in an electrical system and a battery coupled to the alternator.

    Abstract: A monitoring component may select a reference area, associated with an environment of an imaging system, based on a three-dimensional (3D) image obtained by the imaging system. The monitoring component may determine a reference image corresponding to the reference area. The reference image may be determined based on design data associated with the environment of the imaging system. The monitoring component may perform, based on the 3D image and the reference image, a functional safety check to determine a functional safety status associated with the imaging system. The monitoring component may selectively provide a signal based on the determined functional safety state.
