  • Patent number: 9479010
    Abstract: A power control device is provided which can execute self-sustaining operation only when conditions for allowing the self-sustaining operation are satisfied reliably, so as to supply AC power to a power load connected with a power system before the self-sustaining operation. In a case where an instruction to change the power control device into the self-sustaining operation state is accepted, the inverter is connected with the loads by the disconnection relay and the self-sustaining operation is started when voltage to be applied to a wiring portion between the disconnection relay and the earth leakage breaker is not detected, when current flowing between the main breaker and the power system is not detected and when a contact signal indicative of the open/close state of the main breaker indicates an open state.

  • Patent number: 6721159
    Abstract: In a power feeding apparatus having pickup coils L1 and L2, a rectifier circuit 4 and output terminals U and V, the relays R1 and R2 are connected between the output side terminals of the rectifier circuit 4 and the output terminals U and V. Whereas a protective circuit (switching control circuit) 6, which is connected to the pickup coils L1 and L2 and the relay coils r1 and r2 to obtain the electric power from the output side terminals of the rectifier circuit 4 in order to carry out ON/OFF control of the relays R1 and R2 corresponding to the voltage at the both ends of the pickup coils L1 and L2, is provide. The power feeding apparatus enables to prevent an overcurrent from flowing through a load, to prevent the circuit elements from being destroyed or burnt out due to an overcurrent generated in the pickup coils or an overvoltage generated in a resonance capacitor, to indicate an occurrence of an abnormality and to control the electric power supply by means of a remote control.

  • Patent number: 5058505
    Abstract: A carrying apparatus driven by a linear motor which is capable of keeping response at the time of acceleration and deceleration almost constant in spite of the change of the weight of the carrying vehicle. At the carrying vehicle side, the magnitude of a gap between a track and the carrying vehicle, which is in the state of non-contact with the track due to an electro-magnet, and the electric current flowing through the electro-magnet is detected. The weight information related to the weight of the carrying vehicle is calculated on the basis of above detected results. The calculated weight information of the carrying vehicle is transmitted to a running control unit at the ground side. The driving force of the linear motor is adjusted on the basis of the transmitted weight information.
