  • Patent number: 8659857
    Abstract: A circuit is disclosed for disconnecting a power source upon the detection of a leakage current from one of a first and a second wire connected to the power source. A sensing conductor is located adjacent to one of the first and second wires for sensing a leakage current from one of the first and second wires. A disconnect switch is interposed within the first and second wires connected to the power source. A disconnect switch control circuit is connected to the sensing conductor for opening the disconnect switch upon the presence of a leakage current from the sensing conductor. The disconnect switch control circuit operates solely from the leakage current from the sensing conductor.

  • Patent number: 8436602
    Abstract: A voltage compensation circuit is disclosed for proving an elevated output AC voltage upon an under voltage input AC voltage condition. The voltage compensation circuit comprises an autotransformer having a first and a second autotransformer winding. A first position of a switch connects the first autotransformer winding to the input AC voltage for providing an elevated output AC voltage at the second autotransformer winding. The second position of the switch shorting the first autotransformer winding for providing a non-elevated output AC voltage.
