  • CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICE AND SYSTEM WITH POWER SUPPLY CONVERSION AND CONTROL FOR DC LOADS
    Publication number: 20230054080
    Abstract: Hazardous location compliant solid state circuit protection device (100) includes at least one solid state switching element (142a-d) and a load controller (170). The solid state switching element operates in an arc-free manner to limit or preclude electrical current flow from the line-side terminal (132) to the load-side terminal (136). The load controller includes power converter circuitry (172) operative to convert an alternating current (AC) power supply input to the line-side terminal to a direct current (DC) power output at the load side terminal. One or more DC devices may be coupled to the DC power output at the load side terminal.
