Abstract: The present application relates to a detection circuit for detecting a detector removal fault. The detection circuit comprises: a switching circuit. The switching circuit comprises one or more switching elements; an energy storage element; and a control circuit for controlling the energy storage element to discharge by controlling the one or more switching elements to perform an opening or closing action. The control circuit is configured to cause the energy storage element to discharge based on a first loop if the detector is removed from the diode bases, and to cause the energy storage element to discharge based on the first loop and a second loop including the terminal resistor if the detector is not removed from the diode bases. The control circuit is further configured to detect the detector removal fault based on an output voltage of the area monitoring module during discharge process.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a circuit protection device for automatically monitoring operation faults. The grounding fault protection unit includes a grounding fault detection circuit, an AC power channel, and an electromagnetic driving circuit. The self-fault monitoring unit includes a measurement and control circuit and a fault state holding circuit. The measurement and control circuit initiates a self-fault monitoring process at regular time and monitors the fault state signal feedback by the electromagnetic driving circuit to achieve self-fault monitoring. If there is a fault, an emergency interrupt signal is output to trigger an emergent disconnection of the grounding fault protection unit. The fault state holding circuit includes a reset circuit and a fault state triggering circuit. The reset circuit clears the fault state, and the fault state triggering circuit maintains the fault state signal output by the measurement and control circuit to generate effective alarming information.

Abstract: A contactor includes: a first and second power terminal; a sub-circuit connected between this first and second power terminal and comprising the following three elements connected in series: an electrical conductor portion, a primary switch, and a fuse. The primary switch has a movable part driven by an actuator. The contactor further has a magnetic sensor for measuring a primary current flowing through the electrical conductor portion, and a controller connected to the magnetic sensor and to the actuator. The controller has a communication port for receiving commands. The contactor can detect whether the primary switch is actually open. The controller is configured for: (i) receiving a command to open the switch; (ii) operating the actuator, (iii) detecting if the primary switch is actually open; and (iv) blowing the fuse if the switch is not open.

Abstract: A load control apparatus for controlling a power supply to an electrical load connected to an output terminal includes an overcurrent protection circuit having a power switch through which the electrical load receives a load current and a sensor component in series with the power switch that is configured to generate a voltage drop corresponding to the current rise speed of a load current from an input terminal to the output terminal. The protection circuit includes a driver circuit configured to detect an overcurrent depending on the voltage drop generated by the sensor component and/or at the power switch, and to switch off the power switch upon detection of an overcurrent within a switch-off period. The overcurrent protection circuit can include a power supply control circuit having a sensor component adapted to measure a supply voltage notified to a control unit of the load control apparatus adapted to control power supplied to the load.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system for time aligning electric power system measurements at an intelligent electronic device (IED) using samples and sample time offset from merging units. The merging units do not require access to a common time signal. The IED does not require storage of a communication latency with the merging units. The sample time offset corresponds to a latency between obtaining the sample and receipt of the sample at the IED. The IED aligns samples from various merging units using sample time offset values communicated from the merging units to the IED. The IED performs monitoring and protection functions using the time aligned samples.

Abstract: A leakage current detection and interruption device includes a switch module configured to control electrical connection between input and output ends of power supply lines; a leakage current detection module configured to generate a leakage fault signal in response to a leakage current in the power supply lines; a leakage-responsive drive module configured to drive the switch module to disconnect the electrical connection in response to the leakage fault signal; a fault-responsive drive module configured to drive the switch module to disconnect the electrical connection in response to a fault in the leakage-responsive drive module; and a self-test module configured to generate a self-test signal and to generate a self-test fault signal in response to a fault in the leakage current detection module and/or the leakage-responsive drive module. By providing the fault-responsive drive module, the device can automatically disconnect the electrical power when the leakage-responsive drive module has a fault.
