Bernhard STAUDINGER 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: 12126275
    Abstract: In order to protect an inverter from prohibited switching states, a monitor including monitoring inputs and monitoring outputs is provided. The monitoring inputs are connected to the control outputs in order to receive the switching patterns, and the monitoring outputs are connected to the power switches. The monitor is designed to compare a transition from a first switching pattern to a second switching pattern with a number of prohibited transitions and/or with a number of permitted transitions and block the second switching pattern in the event of a match with one of the prohibited transitions and/or in the event of a deviation from the number of permitted transitions and to output the second switching pattern to the power switches via the monitoring outputs in the event of a deviation from the number of prohibited transitions and/or in the event of a match with one of the permitted transitions.

  • Patent number: 10461664
    Abstract: The invention relates to an inverter (1) for converting a direct voltage (UDC) into an alternating voltage (UAC) for feeding into a single-phase three-conductor network (3) and for supplying loads (4), comprising a DC input (5), an intermediate circuit (6) having an intermediate circuit center point (7), a DC/AC converter (8) having at least two half bridges (12, 13), a control device (9), and an AC output (10) for connecting to the single-phase three-conductor network (3) and the loads (4?). The invention further relates to a method for operating such an inverter (1).
