Abstract: A protective circuit for a high-voltage capacitor bank in which the capacitor bank is subdivided into two equal parallel branches with a current measuring device connected in series with each branch and the outputs of the two current measuring devices connected to a differential protection relay.
Abstract: This relates to a circuit for use in a car interlock and permits restarting of the motor for about three minutes after the unfastening of the safety belt. The circuit contains a difference amplifier, a first input switching the supply voltage of a capacitor charging circuit and a second input directly switching the charging circuit.
Abstract: The circuit of this invention provides a safety belt system for both shoulder and seat belts which require the driver and any passengers to positively fasten the seat and shoulder harness in a sequential manner in order for the automobile to be started. After the engine is started, disconnection of any belt or harness causes a buzzer or like alarm to be actuated. The circuit is shown as being operable with either of two relay systems. One system uses a latching relay the other uses a stepping relay.
