摘要: A short-circuit protection system includes a plurality of short-circuit protection devices. Each of the plurality of short-circuit protection devices includes a memory and a processor configured to acquire data indicating a current value of an electric wire; transmit a first signal to one or more other short-circuit protection devices, in response to the current value exceeding a threshold; receive a second signal from each of the one or more other short-circuit protection devices; and control a circuit breaker to cut off a current of the electric wire, or controls the circuit breaker to re-close, based on whether or not the second signal from said each of the one or more other short-circuit protection devices is received.

摘要: A resettable electronic fuse for a high-power device such as a power tool, a battery pack for the power tool, or a battery pack charger. The resettable electronic fuse is connected in a current path of the device and is operable or configured to selectively interrupt current through the resettable electronic fuse based on a detected condition of the device (e.g., a detected fault condition of the device). The resettable electronic fuse is also configured to be reset after a detected fault condition has ended. In some embodiments, the resettable electronic fuse is configured to reset itself. In other embodiments, the resettable electronic fuse is configured to receive a signal (e.g., from a device controller) to reset.

摘要: A method for operating an electronic switch is described hereinafter. According to one exemplary embodiment, the method (for an electronic switch in the switched on state) comprises detecting whether there is an undervoltage condition at a supply voltage node and providing an undervoltage signal which indicates an undervoltage condition. The method further comprises switching off the electronic switch if the undervoltage signal indicates an undervoltage condition and switching (back) on the electronic switch if the undervoltage signal no longer indicates an undervoltage condition. If the undervoltage signal indicates an undervoltage condition during a switch-on process of the electronic switch, the electronic switch is switched off again and switching back on is prevented for a defined period of time, irrespective of the undervoltage signal. Moreover, a corresponding circuit is described.

摘要: A control system and method for tie point fault interrupter and sectionalizing recloser devices in an electrical grid feeder. The technique enables automated sectionalizing reclosers equipped with three-phase current sensing and single- or three-phase voltage sensing, and able to detect pulse-closing operations, to isolate faults and restore load based on pulse count rather than requiring source re-energization and waiting for loss of voltage timers. The system includes a fault interrupter initiating a pulse-testing sequence upon detecting loss of voltage, where a number of preliminary pulses are used to distinguish transient faults from persistent faults, and pulses are counted by the sectionalizing reclosers to determine which of these devices should open. An alternate configuration is disclosed for reinitializing faults, including the fault interrupter closing if initial pulse testing indicates no fault, and subsequent cycles cause a sectionalizing recloser adjacent the fault to open, allowing the fault interrupter to close and hold.

摘要: A method for fault location and isolation in a power distribution network, where the network includes a plurality of switching devices provided along a feeder, and at least one of the switching devices does not have voltage sensing capabilities. The method includes detecting an overcurrent event in the network from the fault and interrupting the overcurrent event by opening and then immediately locking out or subsequently reclosing and testing the fault. A count value is increased in each switching device that detected the overcurrent event. A message is sent from each of the switching devices that detected the overcurrent event and then detected the loss of voltage upstream to an upstream neighbor switching device. Current measurements in the messages, measured current by the devices and the counts values in the devices determine what devices are opened to isolate the fault.

摘要: Embodiments of the present invention include a test-boost electric power recloser that limits the duration of the test current imposed on the power line to less than two electric power cycles, and preferably less than one electric power cycle, when attempting to reclose into a fault. The test-boost recloser sends a test pulse causing a non-latching close followed by a boost pulse causing a latching close if waveform analysis based on the test close indicates that the fault has likely cleared. The test-boost approach can typically be implemented through a software and calibration upgrade to a conventional single-coil recloser, accomplishing results comparable to a dual-actuator recloser at a much lower cost. The recloser may perform iterative and feedback learning feedback processes to automatically improve its operation over time in response to measured fault and non-fault conditions and its success in predicting whether faults have cleared.
