  • Patent number: 8130524
    Abstract: A bi-directional DC to DC power converter includes two DC sources, two inductors respectively connected to the two DC sources, a first switch and a second switch respectively connected to the two inductors, two capacitors respectively connected to the two switches, and a third switch connected between the two inductors. The first, second and third switches are respectively connected reversely with a diode in parallel. When the third switch is alternately turned on and off and the first and second switches are always turned off, the power converter operates as a boost power converter and electric energy flows from the two DC sources to the two capacitors. When the third switch is always turned off and the first and second switches are synchronously turned on or off, the power converter operates as a buck power converter and electric energy flows from the two capacitors to the two DC sources.

  • Patent number: 7058672
    Abstract: A resonant protection kit for a power supply includes a circuit adapted to perform analysis, determinative, and counter functions. The circuit collects a divided voltage on a capacitor to calculate an effective voltage value and uses fundamental and non-fundamental waveforms to calculate an effective total current value of the capacitor. The circuit is selectively actuated to cut off the capacitor from a power system or adjust its impedance characteristic for protection if an abnormal voltage or current is sensed.
