  • Patent number: 9759777
    Abstract: The monitoring device of an electric power supply is supplied by this electric power supply. It comprises a battery (3) forming a secondary power supply and which is triggered in case of outage of the primary power supply. A management circuit monitors the voltage at the terminals of the battery. A comparator compares the measured voltage at the terminals of the battery with first and second threshold values. A management circuit commands flow of a discharge current at the terminals of the battery, by means of a switch and of a counter configured to count a quantity representative of the discharge current. The management circuit can inform the user that the battery is defective according to the value of the counter.

  • Patent number: 9490091
    Abstract: A management device (1) of the causes of tripping in an electronic trip device enabling operation to take place in efficient and dependable manner by means of an architecture with three microcontrollers. The first microcontroller (3), second microcontroller (4) and third microcontroller (5), connected to one another, perform analysis and storage of characteristics typical to the electric power system (2) measured by the first microcontroller (3). Depending on the power supply situations and the analyzed events, one, two or three microcontrollers can be active to reduce the electric power requirements of the device (1). Storage of the data concerning the electric power system (2) is at least partially performed in redundant manner.
