    摘要: A grounding system includes a first circuit portion and a second circuit portion. The first circuit portion is connected to an input voltage bus and has a terminal being a first ground. The second circuit portion is connected between the first ground and a second ground, and includes a switch branch and a resistor branch. When the positive terminal of a power supply is connected to the input voltage bus and the negative terminal of the power supply is connected to the second ground, the switch branch establishes a first current path between the first ground and the second ground and shorts a first diode in the switch branch. When the positive terminal is connected to the second ground and the negative terminal is connected to the input voltage bus, the switch branch disconnects the first current path and stops shorting the first diode.

    摘要: The present invention discloses a USB signal output circuit having reverse current prevention mechanism. A switch circuit turns on when a switch control terminal receives a first high level voltage to output a signal from a signal input terminal to a signal output terminal. A first voltage pull-low circuit includes a passive-component high-pass filter circuit and a discharging circuit. The passive-component high-pass filter circuit couples an output terminal voltage of the signal output terminal to a pull-low control terminal. The discharging circuit turns on when a voltage of the pull-low control terminal is larger than a predetermined voltage level to discharge the switch control terminal to pull the switch control terminal to a second high level voltage. A second voltage pull-low circuit pulls the switch control terminal to a low level voltage when the output terminal voltage is larger than a reference voltage and does not have a glitch.

    摘要: A method for analyzing power quality events in an electrical system includes processing electrical measurement data from or derived from energy-related signals captured by at least one metering device in the electrical system to generate at least one dynamic tolerance curve. Each dynamic tolerance curve of the at least one dynamic tolerance curve characterizes a response characteristic of the electrical system at a respective metering point in the electrical system. The method also includes analyzing the at least one dynamic tolerance curve to identify special cases which require further evaluation(s)/clarification to be discernable and/or actionable. The at least one dynamic tolerance curve may be regenerated or updated, and/or new or additional dynamic tolerance curves may be generated, to provide the further clarification. One or more actions affecting at least one component in the electrical system may be performed in response to an analysis of the curve(s).
