PROTECTOR APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18557211 titled 'PROTECTOR APPARATUS
The protector apparatus in a power supply system is designed to supply power to loads efficiently and safely.
- The apparatus includes a power path with a first conductive path connected to a first power supply unit and a second conductive path connected to a second power supply unit.
- A relay switches between a permitted state and a cutoff state for the first and second conductive paths.
- The first conductive path is protected by a protector in a region towards the first power supply unit, ensuring insulation from the periphery of the protector.
- The second conductive path is connected to the load to be protected among the loads.
Potential Applications: - Power supply systems in various industries - Electrical equipment protection in commercial and residential settings
Problems Solved: - Ensures safe and efficient power supply to loads - Protects the system from power surges and other electrical issues
Benefits: - Enhanced safety for electrical systems - Improved reliability in power distribution
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Power Supply Protector for Industrial Applications This technology can be used in industrial settings to protect critical equipment and ensure uninterrupted power supply, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the protector apparatus improve the safety of power supply systems? - The protector apparatus insulates the conductive paths and protects the system from electrical issues, enhancing safety. 2. What are the key features that make this protector apparatus stand out in the market? - The use of a relay to switch between permitted and cutoff states, along with the protector for insulation, sets this technology apart in power supply systems.
Original Abstract Submitted
A protector apparatus is used in a power supply system for supplying power to loads and includes a power path and a relay. The power path includes a first conductive path, which is connected to a first power supply unit, and a second conductive path, which is connected to a second power supply unit. A relay switches the first conductive path and the second conductive path between a permitted state and a cutoff state. The first conductive path is provided with first connecting portions in a protected region from the relay toward the first power supply unit. The first connecting portions of the first conductive path are entirely covered by a protector, and in the protected region, the protector insulates the first conductive path from the periphery of the protector. The second conductive path is connected to the load, which is a load to be protected, out of the loads.
