Abstract: A system and a method for connecting electrical load(s) to a first power source and a second power source including a switching device and a controller. The switching device includes a first semiconductor device pair and a second semiconductor device pair. The controller configured to receive a first set of electronic signals corresponding to a condition of the first power source and the second power source, isolate the first power source or the second power source from the one or more loads by transmitting a first set of control signals to the switching device, receive a second set of electronic signals corresponding to the condition of the first power source and the second power source, and connect the first power source or the second power source to the one or more loads by transmitting a second set of control signals to the switching device.

Abstract: An electrical system and apparatus for powering and cooling a static transfer switch (STS) assembly are provided. The electrical system includes an STS assembly, which includes at least two silicon controlled rectifiers (SCRs) for at least one power phase of the STS assembly, where the at least two SCRs are for incoming power sources that are opposing to each other. The electrical system includes a cooling system located between the at least two SCRs for the incoming power sources that are opposing to each other for the at least one power phase of the STS assembly. The electrical system further includes a plenum structure, where the cooling system is mounted in a middle of the plenum structure, and the STS assembly is arranged around the cooling system.

Abstract: A method of operating a static transfer switch is provided. The method includes monitoring a voltage waveform for each phase of first and second power sources, and calculating flux for each phase of the power sources. The method also includes determining (i) a first flux difference between the respective flux of the first phases of the first and second power sources, (ii) a second flux difference between the respective flux of the second phases of the first and second power sources, and (iii) a third flux difference between the respective flux of the third phases of the first and second power sources. The method further includes turning off a third solid-state switch to disconnect the third phase of the first power source from a load, in response to the controller determining that the third flux difference is greater the first and second flux differences.

Abstract: A ground fault protection system includes a power switch including a source-side and a load-side. The power switch is structured to receive a load current from a power source at the source-side and selectively output the load current from the load-side to a load. A first voltage measuring device is structured to measure a first voltage of the source-side while the power switch is not conducting the load current. A second voltage measuring device is structured to measure a second voltage of the load-side while the power switch is not conducting the load current. A controller is structured to determine a source-side-to-ground voltage based on the first voltage, determine a load-side-to-ground voltage based on the second voltage, determine a ground fault is occurring, and determine a direction of the ground fault relative to the power switch.

Abstract: In one aspect, a controller for managing electrical faults in a microgrid is provided. The microgrid includes electrical loads, electrical sources, and circuit protection devices that selectively couple the electrical loads and the electrical sources with each other. The controller comprises at least one processor configured to direct a grid tie switch to open to electrically isolate the microgrid from an electric grid, determine, in response to directing the grid tie switch to open, that an electrical fault exits in the microgrid, and determine whether a fault current of the electrical fault is less than a threshold value. The at least one processor is further configured to direct the grid tie switch to close to electrically connect the microgrid to the electric grid and increase the fault current above the threshold value in response to determining that the fault current is less than the threshold value.
