  • POWER CONTROL SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20240204512
    Abstract: A power control system may include a snubber assembly conductively coupled with power sources and loads between the power sources and loads. A clipper assembly is conductively coupled with the power sources and loads between the power sources and loads. A controller can activate the clipper assembly responsive to detection of a voltage transient conducted from the one or more power sources. The controller can activate the clipper assembly to dissipate at least part of the voltage transient and to direct a remainder of the voltage transient to a ground reference responsive to the voltage transient exceeding a designated threshold. The snubber assembly may dissipate at least part of the voltage transient and direct a remainder of the voltage transient to the ground reference responsive to the voltage transient not exceeding the designated threshold.

  • System and method for traction control
    Patent number: 9845084
    Abstract: A system includes a sensor and a controller. The sensor is configured to detect sliding of a wheel of a vehicle. The controller is configured to communicate with the sensor and a traction motor operatively connected to the wheel such that the traction motor selectively applies forces in at least one direction to the wheel during operation. The controller is further configured to direct the traction motor to apply a motoring slide reducing force to the wheel when the sensor detects sliding of the wheel resulting from a frictional braking force.
