Abstract: A voltage transient protection utilizes Zener diodes, resisters, and a power MOSFET to clamp down the DC spike or surged voltage at the input and prevent damage to the inverter's DC power and control section. The input reverse polarity protection utilizes blocking diodes and a switch to cut off reverse voltage and prevent damage to the DC power and control section of the inverter. Once the surge voltage and/or reverse voltage conditions have been removed, the inverter will automatically recover and power on. In addition, an AC output interlock protection circuit is in place to provide safety protection to the external load. The AC output interlock protection circuit utilizes interlock jumpers on the mating connectors, which when detected (or in response to a control signal), it will activate the internal power relays and enable the AC output voltage to the terminals coupled to the external load.

Abstract: In an embodiment, during an overload or short circuit condition, a current limit circuit of an inverter is utilized in a pulse-by-pulse manner, which in turn causes the AC output of the inverter to operate in a hiccup mode (e.g., pulse-by-pulse based on and off dependent upon the output current) and automatically recover once the operating parameters (e.g., output current) are within the proper ranges. The pulse-by-pulse current limit circuit is configured to protect the switching circuits of the inverter from shorting or device failure during any peak operating voltage conditions by ensuring on/off timing accuracy of the inverter.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a universal preparation method for in-situ growth of a layered double hydroxide (LDH) layer on a substrate surface, and belongs to the technical field of material synthesis. In the present disclosure, an LDH protective layer is grown in situ on a surface of a substrate by means of electrodeposition combined with hydrothermal treatment.

In this way, the LDH protective layer is formed in which an interlayer anion is a nitrate. The protective layer protects the substrate against corrosion. Moreover, since the interlayer anion is the nitrate, the protective layer can be exchanged with other corrosion-inhibiting anions, and is modifiable.
