  • Patent number: 10598715
    Abstract: A system for locating a ground fault in an HRG power distribution system includes an HRG pulsing system having a ground fault sensor to detect a ground fault, a pulsing contactor to introduce a pulsing current into the power distribution system, and a controller to control the pulsing contactor to introduce the pulsing current into the power distribution system in response to a ground fault detection by the ground fault sensor. Current sensors in the power distribution system monitor three-phase current signals on conductors of the power distribution system, with the current sensors positioned on distribution networks in the power distribution system and at a protection device included on each respective distribution network. A processor associated with each protection device and operably connected to the current sensors thereat receives signals from the current sensors for identifying a location of a ground fault in the power distribution system.

  • Publication number: 20160086171
    Abstract: A credit card has either a display screen capable of showing either a fully generated transactional credit card number or a partially generated number. In use, a user generates a dynamic “transactional” credit card number associated with his underlying account credit card number. To complete a secure transaction that cannot be copied and used at a later date, the credit card does not display the base credit card number, but instead uses on-card encryption to generate and/or display a transactional cc number that may be may include a portion of the base number or only digits that are generated into the transactional credit card number. The transactional cc number and not the base credit card number are provided to a vendor to complete a transaction. The credit card processing server uses decryption or a reverse lookup table to convert the transactional cc number back to the base cc number.

  • Publication number: 20150346266
    Abstract: A system for locating a ground fault in a high resistance grounded (HRG) power distribution system includes a pulsing circuit configured to introduce a pulse current into the distribution system and current sensors adapted to monitor three-phase current signals present on conductors of the distribution system, with the current sensors positioned on a number of distribution networks included in the HRG power distribution system and at a protective device included on each respective distribution network. A processor associated with each protective device receives signals from the current sensors for identifying a location of the ground fault in the HRG power distribution system, with the processor associated with each protective device receiving measurements of the three-phase current signals from the current sensors over a plurality of cycles and identifying a pattern of interest in the three-phase current signals across the plurality of cycles in order to detect a ground fault.

  • Patent number: 8587240
    Abstract: A system and method for optimizing current filtering in a motor soft starter is disclosed. A motor soft starter includes a circuit having an input connectable to an AC source and an output connectable to an input terminal of an AC motor, with the circuit being operable in a ramping mode and a bypass mode so as to control current flow and terminal voltages in the AC motor. The soft starter includes a controller connected to the circuit to control operation thereof, with the controller including a configurable current filter. The controller determines a current of an AC power provided to the input terminal of the AC motor from the soft starter, identifies a present operational mode of the soft starter as being one of the ramping mode and the bypass mode, and performs filtering on the determined current based on the present operational mode of the soft starter.
