  • Patent number: 11993131
    Abstract: Methods and systems for providing feedback for a transport climate control system are disclosed. The transport climate control system provides climate control to a climate controlled space of a transport unit. The method includes determining, by a controller, a first energy level state capable of providing power to the transport climate control system. The method also includes obtaining, by the controller, status data when a predetermined triggering event occurs. The method further includes determining, by the controller, a second energy level state capable of providing power to the transport climate control system after a predetermined time interval. Also the method includes determining energy consumption data based on the first energy level state and the second energy level state. The method further includes combining the status data and the energy consumption data to obtain feedback data. The method also includes displaying, via a display device, the feedback data.

  • Patent number: 10088517
    Abstract: A motor drive system output filter includes fault detection. A variable frequency drive (VFD) drives a three phase AC induction motor. A filter circuit is connected between the VFD and the AC induction motor. The filter circuit comprises a filter for each phase. Each filter comprises an inductor and a damping resistor connected in series with a blocking capacitor across the inductor. A plurality of detection circuits are provided, one for each phase. Each detection circuit is connected to the capacitor of the associated phase for detecting capacitor voltage to indicate a resistor fault condition.
