    Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods are provided. In an example of the techniques presented herein, a method of operating a Universal Serial Bus Power Delivery (USB-PD) power converter is provided. The method includes generating a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal for controlling the power converter. An output current signal for the power converter is determined. The output current signal corresponds to an output current across an external sense resistor coupled in an output path of the USB-PD power converter. A fault condition is identified based on the PWM signal and the output current signal. Operation of the power converter is disabled responsive to identifying the fault condition.

    Abstract: A power supply with lightning protection includes a surge voltage suppression apparatus, an electromagnetic interference control circuit, a surge current bypass apparatus, an active bridge rectifier circuit, a power factor correction circuit, and a DC-to-DC conversion circuit. The surge voltage suppression apparatus is used to increase a tolerance of a surge voltage for the power supply. The electromagnetic interference control circuit is coupled to the surge voltage suppression apparatus. The surge current bypass apparatus is used to increase a tolerance of a surge current for the power supply. The active bridge rectifier circuit is used to rectify an input voltage. The power factor correction circuit is used to adjust the rectified input voltage to provide an adjusted input voltage on a bulk capacitor. The DC-to-DC conversion circuit is used to convert the adjusted input voltage into a DC output voltage.

    Abstract: A wind turbine is disclosed having a generator and rectifier and structured to provide direct current power that in one form is medium voltage direct current (MVDC). The wind turbine includes a crowbar circuit arranged to protect from a condition such as an overvoltage. The crowbar can be activated based on a voltage measurement or rate of change of voltage. A resistor can be coupled to the crowbar to absorb excess power provided by the generator during the overvoltage condition. Individual wind turbines in a wind farm can each have individual crow bars that can be activated based on local measurement of a voltage condition. In some forms the crowbar can be coupled with a transformer, for example coupled with a tertiary winding of a three winding transformer.

    Abstract: A method reduces inrush currents in a transformer-less rectifier UPS system when an input circuit breaker of the UPS system is closed from an open position. The circuit breaker is coupled between an AC power input and an AC input of a rectifier of the UPS system and a DC output of the rectifier is coupled to a DC bus of the UPS system. Before the circuit breaker is closed, the DC bus is charged to a DC voltage having a level that is equal to a peak AC voltage level of a line-line AC voltage of AC input power to the UPS system. The rectifier is operated as an inverter to provide an AC output voltage at the AC input of the rectifier that is equal to an AC voltage at the AC power input and when it is equal, the circuit breaker is closed.

    Abstract: System controller and method for protecting a power converter. The system controller includes a first controller terminal configured to output a drive signal to a switch to affect a first current flowing through a primary winding of a power converter. The power converter further includes a secondary winding coupled to the primary winding, and the drive signal is associated with one or more switching periods. Additionally, the system controller includes a second controller terminal configured to receive a sensing voltage from a sensing resistor. The sensing voltage represents a magnitude of the first current flowing through the primary winding of the power converter. The system controller is configured to process information associated with the sensing voltage and a reference voltage, and determine whether an average output current of the power converter is larger than a current threshold.
