  • System for overvoltage suppression for construction equipment
    Patent number: 7508643
    Abstract: An overvoltage suppression system is disclosed, such as for construction equipment, for protecting the construction equipment from overvoltages that may occur in day to day operations. An overvoltage suppression system for construction equipment may have a communication network that includes nodes. A data line may be used to electrically connect the nodes of the communication network. A semiconductor device may be electrically connected with the data line. Also, a frame of the construction equipment may be electrically connected with the semiconductor device, where the frame may be a frame common. The frame common may be adapted to include a common electrical point of the communication network.
    Type: Grant
