    摘要: Techniques for monitoring the health of a three-phase induction motor are provided. An expected threshold value is calculated as a function of an expected ratio of current unbalance to voltage unbalance for the three-phase motor. Embodiments determine whether a measured current unbalance exceeds the expected threshold value. Responsive to the measured current unbalance exceeding the expected threshold value, a remedial action may be taken, such as generating diagnostic information or activating one or more protection operations for the three-phase induction motor.

    摘要: A measurement module uses harmonic compensation factors to minimize the effects of harmonic distortion in measurements of a source current by a current sensor of the module. The module samples at a first sampling rate, measurements of the source current to generate a first current measurement. The module samples at a second sampling rate higher than the first sampling rate, for an interval of time, measurements of the source current to generate a second current measurement. The module determines a harmonic compensation factor based, at least, on a difference between the first current measurement and the second current measurement. The module determines a reported current computed as a function of at least the first current measurement, the difference between the first current measurement and the second current measurement, and the harmonic compensation factor. The reported current represents a magnitude of the source current adjusted by the harmonic compensation factor.

    摘要: A distributed energy management method and system 100 are disclosed for managing a charge rate of an array of EVSEs 140 that share a common power source. In the disclosed method and system, control of the power sharing is distributed at the individual EVSE level. For example, each EVSE includes a communication device 540 and a controller 530. The communication device is used to receive a signal relating to a present current capacity utilization of the shared circuit, such as an indication of availability or unavailability of current capacity on the shared circuit. The controller is configured to generate a variable update interval, and initiate adjustment of the charge rate of the EVSE according to the variable update interval based on the present current capacity utilization as indicated by the received signal.

    摘要: A system and method is provided to monitor wear on a power factor correction capacitor in a motor system. The system and method obtains a baseline inductance angle, reactive power or power factor corresponding to a baseline power factor correction by the capacitor in the circuit; monitors a current supplied to the motor at a location upstream of the capacitor; monitors a voltage supplied to the motor, and determines a present inductance angle, reactive power or power factor based on the monitored current and voltage. The present inductance angle, reactive power or power factor corresponds to a present power factor correction by the capacitor. The system and method can then determine when the power factor correction of the capacitor has degraded to an unsatisfactory level based on a change in the inductance angle, reactive power or power factor from the baseline values, and take appropriate action

    摘要: A sealable settings dial assembly includes a casing for electrical equipment, such as an overload relay, and a rotatable dial. The casing includes a wire slot through which to extend a wire of a wire lock mechanism. The rotatable dial is movable relative to the casing, and is used to select a setting from a plurality of different settings for the electrical equipment. The dial includes spaced apart setting channels, such as setting holes or grooves, associated with the different settings to be selected. On the dial, each setting has an associated setting channel which aligns with the wire slot of the casing when the particular setting is selected on the dial. In that way, the wire can be extended through the wire slot and the setting channel for the selected setting to lock the dial at the selected setting.

    摘要: An add-on adapter 110 enables a single charging port 102 of an electric vehicle charging station 100 to simultaneously charge two electric vehicles. An adapter controller 120 determines the available charging rate offered by the charging station. Electric vehicle charging handles 150A, 150B are determined to be connected to the electric vehicles. A charge sharing control circuit 300 in the adapter controller, determines modified available charging rates to be offered for simultaneously charging the electric vehicles. The modified available charging rates are based on the connection states of the electric vehicles and the available charging rate offered by the charging station. The adapter controller controls two contactors 130A, 130B to switchably connect a charging station power socket to the electric vehicle charging handles, to provide shared power at the determined modified available charging rate to the electric vehicles, for simultaneous charging.

    摘要: The invention provides consistent settings between local and remote parameter adjustments of both local and remote HMI. A dial (4) is superimposed on a bistable display substrate (2), having an indicator (7) configured to be manually aligned with a displayed character representing a manual setting of a parameter value for controlling local equipment. A network interface (18) is connected over a communications network (17) to a remote HMI (16), configured to receive a new parameter value for controlling the local equipment (25). A controller (14) samples the current position of the indicator (7) of the dial (4), and provides a control input signal (20) to the bistable display substrate (2) to control a display of the new parameter value in the current position of the indicator (7) of the dial (4) and to provide the new parameter value to the local equipment (25).

    摘要: A synthetic fault signal generator assembly is remotely located on a branch circuit downstream from a circuit breaker protecting a load. The synthetic fault signal generator assembly is configured to detect an improper circuit condition that is not independently detected, detectable, or actionable by the circuit breaker such as, for example, a load or outlet receptacle specific problem that can lead to equipment damage or property damage if not mitigated. In response to the improper circuit condition being detected, the synthetic fault signal generator assembly generates a synthetic fault signal, which causes the circuit breaker to trip. The synthetic fault signal generator assembly can inject the synthetic fault signal into the branch circuit to provide the synthetic fault signal to the circuit breaker.
