Abstract: There is disclosed an enclosure and cooling system for electronic equipment that provides forced-air cooling of multiple compartmentalized electronics assemblies while simultaneously isolating the electronics assemblies from the ambient environment, keeping the electronics assemblies free from contamination due to harmful dust, dirt, water, corrosives, and other airborne foreign matter. Embodiments include an air-conduction cooled environmentally-sealed electronics enclosure having at least first and second environmentally-sealed electronics compartments, each containing a respective electronic assembly. A common-air cooling channel containing a fin core is disposed between the first and the second electronics compartments, such that ambient air drawn from an air intake, through the common channel, and out an air exhaust removes heat generated by the electronic assemblies within the sealed compartments to an exterior of the enclosure. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: The disclosure provides embodiments of a self-contained automatic battery charging system having a power printed circuit board (PCB) that enables inputting an alternating current (AC) power flow to the automatic battery charging system. A first switchmode converter converts an AC input power to a direct current (DC) power, thereby providing an active power factor correction. The first switchmode converter comprises an isolation transformer, which provides an electrical isolation between a primary circuitry and a secondary circuitry of the automatic battery charging system. A second switch mode converter regulates a system output voltage and limits a system output current to an electrical load. A DC output is connected to a battery, another electrical storage device, and/or a parallel-connected DC load to be powered.

Abstract: An adaptive AC power exchanger generates stable 120 VAC 60 Hz power from variable grid input power nominally at 220 VAC and 50 Hz. The exchanger includes an AC-DC circuit stage coupled to receive the input AC current and generate a VDC output, and a DC-AC circuit stage to generate power for a load. The AC-DC stage includes an EMI filter and surge protection circuit, a 50 Hz rectifier and a power factor correction (PFC) circuit controlled by a PFC controller to yield a 400 VDC output coupled through a bulk capacitor stack to a common connection to generate a 200 VDC voltage node. The 200 VDC and 400 VDC voltages are coupled to the DC-AC circuit including a pulse width modulator; current load limiter; an LC filter having a capacitor, dual inductors and an inductor by-pass relay; and a load disconnect relay all controlled by an AC bridge controller.
