Walter Trumpler has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11201577
    Abstract: A drive with integrated dynamic load control includes a three-phase asynchronous motor having three phase legs connected in a star circuit, each phase leg having a winding having a coil end connected to a common star point. A load control circuit has a regulating module, an ammeter, a voltmeter and first and second switches. The ammeter and voltmeter detect a phase current and a phase voltage in one phase leg. The regulating module calculates an active power of the phase leg and a total active power of the motor responsive to the phase current and phase voltage. The switches are arranged in two of the phase legs between the respective coil end and the star point and the regulating module interrupts the two phase legs by using the switches when the active power, the total active power or a torque calculated from the total active power exceeds an adjustable limit value.

  • Patent number: 6768322
    Abstract: Device for measuring an electrical current (I) that flows through a strip conductor (1), with a current-less measuring conductor (3) extending in the flow direction of the current, along and in the proximity of a measuring section (2) of the strip conductor (1), one end of the measuring conductor (3) being electrically connected with one end of the measuring section (2), the other end of the measuring section being provided with a first measuring point (4), and with a second measuring point (5) being electrically connected with the other end of the measuring section (2), characterised in that the measuring section (2) is rectilinear, that the second measuring point (5) is connected directly with the measuring section (2), and a voltage (U) is taken from the measuring points (4, 5).

  • Publication number: 20030020453
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for measuring an electric current (1) that flows through a strip conductor (1). The inventive device comprises a measuring conductor (3) which extends along the current flow direction and in the proximity of a measuring section (2) of the strip conductor (1). The one end of said measuring conductor is directly and electrically connected to the one end of the measuring section (2). The remaining end of said measuring conductor is provided with a first measured value tap (4). The device comprises a second measured value tap (5) which is electrical connected to the remaining end of the measuring section (2). The aim of the invention is to freely select the dimensions of the strip conductor (1) and the measuring conductor (3) and especially to use a conventional strip conductor (1) and to better use said device and have a greater measuring accuracy at the same time. According to the invention, the measuring section (2) is rectilinear.

  • Patent number: 5436546
    Abstract: To enable a gentle switching back of a change-pole motor to a low speed while ensuring the full moment or torque on passing into motor operation, a method for switching back the change-pole motor to the lower speed is proposed wherein initially there is a two-phase switching back to the lower speed, and wherein, on dropping below the predetermined switching current, the third phase is switched in. For this purpose, an ammeter is provided in the switched-in phase, with a comparator being provided for comparing the actual current with the predetermined switching current, and with a switch also being provided in the third phase to be switched in.

  • Patent number: 4729087
    Abstract: An inversion method, particularly as part of a frequency change is proposed, e.g. for regulating three-phase motors, square-wave voltage pulses being produced by opening and closing electronic switches, so that repeatedly and in a desired order predetermined combinations of switch positions and associated number of clock intervals of unchanged switch position are in each case requested, the switch position combination set and the corresponding number of clock intervals is counted without changing the switch position.
