  • Publication number: 20240112846
    Abstract: A multi-transformer assembly includes a first transformer having a first core and a first set of windings, a second transformer having a second core and a second set of windings, and a heatsink positioned between the first core and the second core. The heatsink includes a first side and a second side. The first side of the heatsink is opposite the second side of the heatsink, and thermally coupled to the first core and the first set of windings. The first side is thermally coupled to the first core and the first set of windings by a first thermal conductor. The second side is thermally coupled to the second core and the second set of windings. The second side is thermally coupled to the second core and the second set of windings by a second thermal conductor.

  • Publication number: 20240044343
    Abstract: A fan housing mounting assembly includes an engagement mechanism configured to support a fan module and a housing configured to support the engagement mechanism. The engagement mechanism is pivotally connected to the housing. The assembly further includes a mesh plate including at least one connector coupled to the engagement mechanism. The mesh plate is configured to move with respect to the housing between a first position in which the mesh plate is spaced from the housing and a second position in which the mesh plate is adjacent to the housing. The assembly further includes a spring configured to engage the engagement mechanism. The spring is configured to bias the engagement mechanism to pivot with respect to the housing to present the fan module for removal. When the engagement mechanism is pivoted with respect to the housing, the mesh plate is maintained in the second position.

  • Patent number: 9300117
    Abstract: A power system including an uninterruptible power system (UPS) and a maintenance bypass panel (MBP) The UPS has an input to receive input power and an output to provide output power. The MBP has an input to receive the output power provided by the UPS and an output to provide the input power to the input of the UPS. A busbar is configured to couple one of the input of the UPS to the output of the MBP and the output of the UPS to the input of the MBP. The busbar has a first region to couple to one of the input and the output of the UPS, a second region to couple to one of the input and the output of the MBP, and a measurement region. A cover shields the busbar from inadvertent contact and includes a small diameter aperture to permit access to the measurement region of the busbar.

  • Publication number: 20090068504
    Abstract: Systems and methods for verifying fuel cell system functionality are provided. Various tests and/or exercises may be executed while the fuel cell system is in standby mode to detect potential sources of malfunction. In some examples, one or more tests may be designed to detect leaks or ruptures in various reactant supply lines and/or to test the functionality of various valves associated therewith. A controller may be provided to automatically perform the disclosed tests. In certain examples, the disclosed tests may be conducted without the need to provide each component of a fuel cell system with individual electrical feedback.
