  • Publication number: 20250074296
    Abstract: A trailer light management system is disclosed. The system may include a constant current source circuit and a processor. The constant current source circuit may be configured to supply a current to a trailer light. The processor may be configured to obtain a trigger signal and cause the constant current source circuit to supply the current to the trailer light responsive to obtaining the trigger signal. The processor may be further configured to determine a voltage drop in the constant current source circuit responsive to supplying the current. In addition, the processor may determine that a predefined condition may be met based on the voltage drop. The processor may perform a predefined action responsive to determining that the predefined condition may be met.

  • Patent number: 11498499
    Abstract: A vehicle inverter is arranged to transform direct current power from a power supply to alternating current power for an outlet. The inverter includes a transformer electrically connected between the power supply and outlet, a resistive element that can be selectively electrically connected in parallel with the transformer via a multiway switch to establish a direct electrical connection between the power supply and outlet, and a controller that selectively commands the multiway switch to close according to values indicative of resistance between the power supply and outlet before and after the multiway switch is closed.
