Publication number: 20200124683Abstract: An electric power distribution system is used with an electric power source. The electric power distribution system includes a first device exchanging first electric power with the electric power source. The first device exchanges the first electric power with a plurality of second devices and meters first electric energy corresponding to the first electric power. The second devices exchange the first electric power with the first device. Each of the second devices exchanges second electric power as at least part of the first electric power with a number of corresponding electric loads and meter second electric energy corresponding to the second electric power. A processor includes a routine that compares the metered first electric energy from the first device with a sum of the metered second electric energy from each of the second devices, and responsively determines proper or improper operation of the electric power distribution system.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2019Publication date: April 23, 2020Applicant: EATON INTELLIGENT POWER LIMITEDInventors: DAVID AUSTIN ELDRIDGE, RONALD L.

Publication number: 20140015482Abstract: A remote annunciator for electric vehicle supply equipment includes a housing, and an interface to the electric vehicle supply equipment consisting of a number of power conductors, a number of ground conductors, and a number of control conductors. A plurality of indicators on the housing are structured to provide a remote annunciation function for the electric vehicle supply equipment. A circuit structured to drive the indicators drives the indicators based upon information from only the number of power conductors, the number of ground conductors and the number of control conductors of the interface. The number of control conductors have a control function other than driving the indicators.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 16, 2012Publication date: January 16, 2014Inventors: JASON-DAVID NITZBERG, BRANDON J.
