Abstract

Identifying proper regulation method based on average voltage change between tap steps for voltage regulators. In response to a first tap step index being different from a second tap step index of a preceding tap operation, an electronic processor determines whether an average of a first voltage change of the current tap operation and a second voltage change of the preceding tap operation satisfies a voltage threshold. The electronic processor is configured to change a regulation direction of the voltage regulator when the average satisfies the voltage threshold and maintain the regulation direction of the voltage regulator when the average does not satisfy the voltage threshold. The electronic processor is configured to provide regulation settings to the voltage regulator corresponding to a current regulation mode and regulation direction of the voltage regulator.

Abstract

Various embodiments described herein are directed to luminaire components that prevent flame transmission from the inside of a luminaire to the outside of a luminaire. In certain aspects, the luminaire can be used in an environment containing flammable gas, for example, in specialized lab work or testing applications. This application discusses components that can be used to prevent flame transmission from the inside of a luminaire to the outside of a luminaire, thereby yielding a flame encapsulating luminaire. Accordingly, the components and assemblies described herein can be safely integrated with systems that operate in the presence flammable gas.

The method includes creating a network block in response to a user input, the network block including network identifying metadata. The network identifying metadata includes a list of the one or more devices. The method also includes writing the network block to a ledger under a first user profile, linking the network block to a host server, receiving a first request to modify the network block, and modifying the network block. Modifying the network block includes adding network identifying metadata, deleting network identifying metadata, and altering network identifying metadata. The method also includes receiving a second request to transfer ownership of the network block and linking the network block to a second user profile. Linking the network block to the second user profile transfers ownership of the list of the one or more devices.

Abstract

Method and system allowing more accurate detection and identification of unwanted arcing include novel processing of signal voltage representing recovered power-line current. In one implementation, arc-faults are detected based on numerical analysis where individual cycles of line voltage and current are observed and data collected during each cycle is processed to estimate likelihood of presence of arc-event within each individual cycle based on pre-defined number of arc-events occurring within pre-defined number of contiguous cycles. In another implementation, fast transient current spikes detection can be done by: computing difference values between consecutive line-current samples collected over a cycle, average of differences, and peak-to-peak value of line-current; comparing each difference value to average of difference; comparing each difference value to peak-to-peak value; and, based on calculation of composite of two comparisons, using thresholds to determine if arcing is present within processed cycle.

Abstract

Passive monitoring the integrity of current sensing devices and associated circuitry in GFCI and AFCI protective devices is provided. A protection circuit interrupter employs a capacitively coupled noise signal obtained by an arrangement of one or both of line side arms relative to a Rogowski coil. The noise signal is monitored while the line and load sides of a protective circuit interrupter are disconnected, and the connection of the line and load sides disabled if the noise signal fails to correlate sufficiently to a reference noise cycle. When the line and load sides are connected, the RMS value of the observed current signal is monitored such that the line and load sides are disconnected if the observed current signal fails to meet an RMS threshold. The observed current signal is compensated by subtracting the reference noise cycle prior to monitoring for the fault condition applicable to the protective device.

Abstract

An above surface power distribution assembly includes a housing including a first housing portion supported by a support surface and a second housing portion movably coupled to the first housing portion. The second housing portion is movable relative to the first housing portion between a non-use position in which the second housing portion is secured relative to the first housing portion, and a use position in which the second housing portion is unsecured relative to the first housing portion. The power distribution assembly further includes a power distribution unit positioned within the housing, the power distribution unit including at least one power outlet in electrical communication with a power source. When the second housing portion is in the non-use position, the at least one power outlet is inaccessible, and when the second housing portion is in the use-position, the at least one powder outlet is accessible.
