摘要： An over-voltage protection system including a phase bus connected to a phase conductor of an electrical system and one or more transient-suppressing lines connected to the phase bus. Each of the transient-suppressing lines includes a contactor and a transient-suppressing element. The contactor of each transient-suppressing line is selectively opened and closed by a processor, thereby protecting the transient suppressing element from excessive currents. Also a method of protecting at least one transient-suppressing element from over-voltage conditions including providing a transient-suppressing line including the at least one transient-suppressing element in parallel with a load, measuring at least one of a voltage signal representative of a voltage on the transient-suppressing line and a current signal representative of a current on the transient suppressing line, and selectively placing the transient-suppressin line in either an open condition or a closed condition based on at least one of the voltage signal and the current signal.

摘要： A mechanical reinforcement for an electrical apparatus has at least one electrical element with an outer surface and a reinforcing structure attached to the outer surface. The electrical element may be a monolithic MOV disk or a bonded MOV disk stack. The monolithic element may, for example, have a rating greater than 6 kV. The reinforcing structure may be pre-impregnated fiber matrix that may be, for example, pre-impregnated with resin. The mechanical reinforcement provides improved high current durability to the electrical apparatus.

摘要： In a commercial building, individual occupant thermal comfort is achieved with optimal cost and energy efficiency through the integration of a variety of local thermal comfort components into a communication network that employs emerging optimization principles to meet individual preferences for the thermal environment on a workstation basis while reducing building energy use and operating in accordance with any constraints on the energy grids that serve the buildings. These multiple objectives are met in part through a robust communication network that employs distributing processing to achieve preferred thermal conditions with optimal control of all components at subzone, zone, system, central plant, and energy grid levels.

摘要： A variable capacity compression type cooling system improves operating efficiency by modulating speed of the condenser pump motor and/or a cooling tower fan motor, in response to the loading level on the cooling apparatus. In contrast to known control strategies that rely on refrigerant gas pressure or temperature changes, the present system controls the heat rejection components in direct response to the current loading level on the cooling system. Cooling system loading is indicated, e.g,. by the current power ratio (percent of maximum) being utilized by the air conditioning compressor. The new strategy sets operation of the heat rejection components at a power setting that is a fixed ratio of the cooling system current power ratio (subject to limits). For a cooling tower, the control is applied to both the cooling tower fan(s) and the condenser pump(s). For small systems, a single variable-speed drive can be used for both the refrigerant compression device and the heat rejection component(s). The invention provides significant improvements in efficiency by reducing power consumed in operation of the various components of the system, particularly under reduced-loading conditions.

摘要： In a commercial building, an improved terminal unit achieves individual occupant thermal comfort with optimal cost and energy efficiency through the integration of at least two local thermal comfort components into a single terminal unit along with a communication network that may incorporate additional thermal components and also employs emerging optimization principles to meet individual preferences for the thermal environment in a workspace basis while reducing overall zone or building energy use and operating in accordance with any constraints on the energy grid(s) that serve the buildings. These multiple objectives are met in part through the multi-comfort factor individual workspace control and a robust communication network that to coordinate thermal conditioning with neighboring workspaces.
