Publication number: 20240063656Abstract: A dual power switching system includes a first STS, a second STS, an inductive device, and a controller. The first STS is electrically coupled to a main power source, and the second STS is electrically coupled to a backup power source. When detecting that the main power source is abnormal, the controller detects a residual magnetic flux of the inductive device and calculates a magnetic flux difference between the predicted magnetic flux and the residual magnetic flux. When determining that an absolute value of the magnetic flux difference is less than or equal to a magnetic flux deviation value, the controller determines whether the output power meets a forced commutation condition. When determining that the output power meets the forced commutation condition, the controller turns on the second STS so that the first STS is forcibly turned off by the backup power source through the second STS.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: Jen-Chuan LIAO, Chien-Chih CHAN, Jia-Cheng SIE

Patent number: 11293984Abstract: A detection circuit is electrically connected with a static transfer switch. The static transfer switch includes a silicon controlled rectifier. The detection circuit includes a high-pass filter, a low-pass filter, an absolute value circuit and a determination unit. After the high-pass filter filters off a low-frequency component of a terminal voltage between the first terminal and the second terminal of the static transfer switch, a first signal is generated. After a high-frequency component of the first signal is filtered off by the low-pass filter, a second signal is generated. The second signal is converted into an absolute value signal by the absolute value circuit. If no pulse signals are contained in the absolute value signal, the determination unit determines that the static transfer switch is in an abnormal on condition.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2020Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: DELTA ELECTRONICS, INC.Inventors: Jen-Chuan Liao, Yu-Rong Chen, Kuan-Tse Lin, Hung-Hsien Huang
