LOAD DRIVER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240283374 titled 'LOAD DRIVER
The abstract describes a patent application for a power converter that is connected between a power supply line and a ground line, with the power supply line connected to a battery. The power converter converts direct current power from the battery to supply power to a load. A control circuit manages the power converter using a voltage from the battery. A reverse-connection protective relay is linked to the ground line and interrupts current flow from the ground line to the power supply line through the power converter if the battery is connected in reverse.
- The power converter converts direct current power from a battery to supply power to a load.
- A control circuit manages the power converter using a voltage from the battery.
- A reverse-connection protective relay interrupts current flow if the battery is connected in reverse.
- The relay is activated by a voltage applied to its gate when the battery is connected in a forward direction.
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for battery management systems - Renewable energy systems for power conversion - Industrial applications for power supply protection
Problems Solved: - Prevents damage to the power supply system in case of reverse battery connection - Ensures safe and efficient power conversion from the battery to the load
Benefits: - Enhanced safety and protection for power supply systems - Efficient power conversion for various applications - Extended lifespan of batteries and power supply components

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the reverse-connection protective relay prevent damage in case of a reverse battery connection? 2. What are the key advantages of using a power converter in battery management systems?
Original Abstract Submitted
a power converter is connected between a power supply line and a ground line, and the power supply line is connected to a battery. the power converter supplies converted power to a load by converting direct current power of the battery. a control circuit controls the power converter by a voltage applied from the battery. a reverse-connection protective relay is connected to the ground line, and interrupts a current flowing from the ground line to the power supply line via the power converter in a case where the battery is connected in a reverse direction. a voltage required for turning on the reverse-connection protective relay is applied to a gate of the reverse-connection protective relay in a case where the battery is connected in a forward direction, and is not applied to the gate of the reverse-connection protective relay in a case where the battery is connected in the reverse direction.
