  • Patent number: 10033285
    Abstract: A power system and related methods provide sense resistor fault detection and safe operation of switching power converters and connected devices such as portable electronic devices powered by the switching power converter. The power system detects an open circuit or short circuit condition of the sense resistor and controls output current of the switching power converter to ensure safe operating conditions of the power system and connected equipment. The power system can also detect initial inrush current of the connected equipment and detect a duty cycle of the switching power converter to positively detect a short circuit condition of the sense resistor.

  • Publication number: 20150268290
    Abstract: A method for on-line diagnosing gradually-changing fault of electronic current transformers comprises the following steps collecting output signals of electronic transformers of a whole transformer substation, calculating theoretical instantaneous values of the current at the tail ends of power transmission lines and on secondary sides of transformers at every moment, comparing the theoretical instantaneous values with the corresponding collected values, calculating residual errors of the electronic current transformers at the head and tail ends of each power transmission line and the primary and the secondary sides of each transformer respectively, judging whether gradually-changing fault occurs with the electronic current transformers by comparing the residual errors with preset threshold values, and simultaneously performing Kirchhoff detection by injecting current into a busbar to position a fault transformer.

  • Patent number: 7948729
    Abstract: In one embodiment the present invention includes an over-current protection method. The method comprises generating a switching signal, starting and stopping a timer, sensing a current through a switch, comparing a response time to a reference time, and generating an over-current alarm signal. The switching signal activates one or more switches in a switching regulator. The timer is started in response to the switch being activated and is stopped in response to the sensed current exceeding a threshold. The response time indicates the time period between the starting and the stopping of the timer. The over-current alarm signal is generated if the response time is less than the reference time.

    Abstract: A plasma ignition burner. The plasma ignition burner has at least two stages of burner barrels and a plasma generator for igniting the pulverized coal in a first stage burner barrel of the at least two stages of burner barrels. The burning flame of the former stage burner barrel ignites the pulverized coal in the next stage burner barrel, or further burns with the supplemented air in the next stage burner barrel. The axial direction of said plasma generator is parallel to the direction along which the pulverized-coal-contained air flow enters into the first stage burner barrel and at the same time, parallel to the axis of the burner barrels.
