  • Highly variable and adjustable current circuit breaker
    Patent number: 11088530
    Abstract: A circuit breaker includes a monitor to detect a performance of an electrical load in an electrical circuit, a converter to create a digital signal based on the detected performance of the electrical load, and a digital integrated circuit to compare the digital signal with a predetermined threshold reference signal, and generate a command signal to electrically disconnect the electrical load from the electrical circuit when a level of the digital signal exceeds the predetermined threshold reference signal. The electrical load may be configured to receive a fixed or variable amount of current or voltage. The predetermined threshold reference signal may include a signal level threshold and a time threshold. The digital integrated circuit may generate the command signal when the level of the digital signal exceeds the signal level threshold and the detected performance of the electrical load exceeds the time threshold.
