Abstract:
A system for controlling a disconnect switch via a network may include a disconnect switch and a drive. The disconnect switch may receive alternating current (AC) power from an AC power supply, and the drive may then receive the AC power via the disconnect switch. The drive may include a processor that may communicatively couple to the disconnect switch. As such, the processor may control a drive operation that corresponds to the drive and control a disconnect operation that corresponds to the disconnect switch.
Abstract:
A self-discharging capacitor may include a capacitor and a resistor coupled in parallel to the capacitor. The self-discharging capacitor may also include a housing such that the capacitor and the resistor may be enclosed within the housing. The housing may also enclose a potting material that is thermally conductive and electrically non-conductive.
Abstract:
The present disclosure includes a motor drive that includes a rectifier module, an inverter module, drive circuitry, and a heat dissipation feature. The heat dissipation feature is at least partially coated with a diamond-like carbon material in accordance with present embodiments. The diamond-like carbon material is configured to cooperate with the heat dissipation feature placement to dissipate heat from the rectifier module, the inverter module, or the drive circuitry.
