==Alternating-Current Power-Switching Device - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18358643 titled 'Alternating-Current Power-Switching Device

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a patent application for an alternating-current (AC) power-switching device. The device includes various components such as current input/output nodes, a current-limiting resistor, a bypass switch, a rectifier, a voltage regulator, and a controller. The controller is programmed to detect voltage levels, activate the bypass switch when the voltage exceeds a threshold, set a lockout timer, and deactivate the bypass switch when the voltage drops below another threshold. This device effectively switches power between two apparatuses.

* The AC power-switching device includes first and second current input/output (I/O) nodes, a current-limiting resistor, and a bypass switch connected between them.
* The bypass switch consists of a first light-emitting-diode (LED) input normally closed solid-state relay.
* The device also includes a rectifier, a voltage regulator, and a controller.
* The controller has a programmable controller chip and is responsible for detecting voltage levels, activating the bypass switch, setting a lockout timer, and deactivating the bypass switch.
* The device efficiently switches power between two apparatuses.

Potential Applications:
* Power distribution systems
* Electrical appliances and devices
* Renewable energy systems
* Industrial automation

Problems Solved:
* Efficient power switching between two apparatuses
* Voltage level detection and control
* Protection against voltage fluctuations

Benefits:
* Improved power distribution efficiency
* Enhanced voltage regulation and control
* Increased reliability and protection for electrical systems


==Original Abstract Submitted==

This document describes methods implemented by and systems utilizing an alternating-current (AC) power-switching device. The AC power-switching device includes first and second current input/output (I/O) nodes, a current-limiting resistor, and a bypass switch connected between the first and second current I/O nodes. The bypass switch includes a first light-emitting-diode-input normally closed solid-state relay. Further, the AC power-switching device includes a rectifier, a voltage regulator, and a controller. The controller includes a programmable controller chip and is configured to detect a voltage level at the output of the rectifier, activate the bypass switch in response to the voltage level exceeding a first voltage level threshold, set a first lockout timer in response to activating the bypass switch, and deactivate the bypass switch in response to the voltage level dropping below a second voltage level threshold. Thus, the AC power-switching device is effective at switching power between a first and second apparatus.
