Abstract: A dual power supply transfer switch (SSATS) for switching between a first power supply (S1) and a second power supply (S2) to supply power to a load is provided, includes: a solid-state switch (SS); a mechanical switch (CTR); and a compensation power module (AUX). In the case that the S1 fails in supplying power to the load, the AUX uses the S2 to supply power to the load, and the output current of the S1 is reduced. After satisfying the turn off condition for the SS, the SS turns off the S1, the CTR turns off the S1 and turns on the S2. After the S2 is adjusted to synchronize with the phase of the output current of the S1, the SS turns on the S2 and the AUX stops outputting current. The SSATS provides advantages such as fast transfer, zero interruption, and short voltage sag time.

Abstract: Methods/systems employ randomly jittered under-sampling to reduce a sampling rate required to estimate the amplitude of high-frequency signals in circuit breakers, power meters, and other digital signal processing applications. The methods/systems can greatly reduce the nominal sampling rate for applications where RMS, peak and mean estimates of the signal are desired for both the entire band-limited signal and separate estimates for each frequency component. This can in turn result in large cost savings, as less complex and thus less expensive controllers and related components may be used to perform the sampling. As well, the methods/systems herein can provide reasonably accurate waveform estimates that allow additional cost savings in bill of materials (BOM) and printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) footprint and real-estate by eliminating the need for certain analog components, such as signal conditioning components.
