    摘要: A master metering module is taught which utilizes a programmed microprocessor and externally operated switches to alert the module as to what kind of system is being monitored thereby. For example, is the system being monitored a .DELTA.-connected electrical system or a Y-connected electrical system. This is useful in providing output indications of line-to-line voltage or line-to-neutral voltage, for example. When measuring voltages whether line-to-line or line-to-neutral one voltage value is substituted from another. A differential amplifier is utilized to do this. In one case the differential amplifier subtracts one line voltage from another line voltage, but in another case it subtracts neutral or zero ground potential from a line voltage. A switching arrangement is provided which interconnects one terminal of the differential amplifier with the neutral input terminal and with a line input terminal through appropriate conditioning of the microprocessor.

    摘要: A circuit breaker includes a digital electronic trip unit having a microprocessor. The front panel of the trip unit includes a potentiometer connected across a reference voltage, and a numeric display device. The potentiometer is adjusted by an operator to enter a value of a parameter defining the time-current characteristic of the circuit breaker. An analog-to-digital converter receives the voltage supplied by the potentiometer and converts it to a digital quantity for use by the microcomputer in performing limit checks with the current flow through the contacts of the breaker. The microcomputer formats the converted digital value of the potentiometer voltage and supplies it to a front panel-visible numeric display so that the value of the potentiometer setting as interpreted by the microcomputer in defining the time-current trip characteristic is presented on the numeric display to provide real-time feedback to the operator as he adjusts the parameter value.

    摘要: Starting and operating method and apparatus for discharge lamps comprises a current-limiting and rectifying means which provides at its output a low-ripple current-limited direct current. To effect lamp starting, a series-connected inductor and capacitor form a high "Q" resonant circuit with the capacitor connected across the lamp to be operated. This starting circuit connects through a blocking capacitor and charging resistor across the low-ripple source of DC. A pair of transistors which comprise an oscillator are connected emitter-to-collector across the source of DC, with the common-connected emitter and collector connected to the blocking capacitor. A drive air-core transformer has separate feedback windings in the starting and operating circuits and drive windings are associated with the transistors. A trigger diode is used to initially pulse one of the transistors which initially oscillate to generate square waves having a frequency corresponding to the resonant frequency of the starting circuit. After the lamp strikes, the transistors operate in a self-oscillating mode with the operating frequency determined by the rate of current flow into the operating feedback winding.

    摘要: To prevent high-intensity-discharge (HID) lamps from extinguishing for prolonged periods due to a power interruption or an appreciable drop in line voltage, a rectifier-battery combination provides standby power for operating a high-frequency inverter. The output of the inverter connects to the HID lamps through impedance means which passes a greatly reduced high-frequency current as compared to the normal lamp operating current, in order to sustain the operation of the lamps at a very reduced power level. Upon restoration of the normal line voltage, the lamps again operate with normal power consumption. The same wiring can be used for both the normal lamp operating current and the high-frequency sustaining current or separate wiring systems can be used if desired. The high-frequency current can be supplied simultaneously with the normal operating current or the high-frequency current can be supplied only during periods of power interruption. In the latter case, the high-frequency sustaining current is continued for a period of at least 0.1 second after restoration of the normal line voltage to prevent the HID lamps from extinguishing.

    摘要: The coil of an electromagnetic contactor is controlled by a microcomputer which stores control data in an internal RAM memory. An integrated circuit chip provides a tightly regulated +5 volt supply voltage to the microcomputer and generates reset signals on power up and power loss. A logic circuit distinguishes a power loss reset from a power up reset and transfers the microcomputer to a STOP mode in which only the RAM is energized to retain the control data. Reserve power to energize the RAM during a power loss of up to several minutes in duration is provided by a large capacitor which is kept charged by the regulated +5 volt supply. Voltage on the capacitor is checked through the integrated circuit on power up to determine if sufficient voltage was maintained to assure the integrity of the RAM.
