Filed:

Apr 23, 1997

Appl. No.:

8/839073

Inventors:

John K. Marsh - Wolcottville IN
Robert Timmerman - Holland MI

Assignee:

Dekko Engineering, Inc. - Kendallville IN

International Classification:

G01R 3100

US Classification:

307 31

Abstract:

A apparatus for monitoring and controlling a power system having an alternating current bus. The apparatus includes a module which is coupled to the bus and which digitizes and modulates at least one of a voltage waveform and a current waveform present on the bus. A control unit which is also coupled to the bus demodulates the digitized waveform and calculates a parameter selected from the group consisting of average current, root mean square current, peak current, current crest factor, average voltage, root mean square voltage, peak voltage, voltage crest factor, voltage surge, current waveform shape, voltage waveform shape, current waveform harmonic structure, voltage waveform harmonic structure and combinations thereof. The calculated parameter is used to monitor conditions on the bus and control loads connected to modules of the system.

Appl. No.:

7/870880

Inventors:

John K. Marsh - Rome City IN
Russell E. Zemen - Fort Wayne IN

Assignee:

Group Dekko International - LaOtto IN

International Classification:

H02M 510

US Classification:

363155

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for providing a source of alternating current electrical power to a plurality of loads in an office environment, including a plurality of non-linear loads which draw power for only a portion of the alternating current cycle, includes an input source of electrical power to a primary side of a power transforming device which provides an output at its secondary side which comprises at least two phases and a shared neutral. The plurality of loads are evenly distributed between each phase of the output power source and the shared neutral so as to reduce by current cancellation the current which would otherwise flow in the shared neutral conductor due to the presence of the non-linear loads. In one embodiment, each of six output phase is separated from the other by 120 electrical degrees, and the fourth, fifth and sixth phases are separated from the first, second and third phases, respectively, by 180 electrical degrees. In another embodiment, two sets of six phases are provided, with each of the phases in the first set shifted, relative to respective phases of the second set, so as to reduce variations in the level of instantaneous power drawn from the input source which would otherwise occur due to the presence of the non-linear loads.

Inventors:

John K. Marsh - Wolcottville IN

International Classification:

H02M 510

US Classification:

363155

Abstract:

An arrangement for transforming electrical power is disclosed. An embodiment of the arrangement includes conductors for electrically connecting to an input source of three phase electrical power. This embodiment of the arrangement also includes a transforming device electrically connected to the conductors. The transforming device includes circuitry for transforming the input source of three phase power into at least two output phases separated from one another by approximately 180 electrical degrees. The transforming device also includes circuitry for reducing the level of instantaneous power drawn from the input source by shifting each output phase a predetermined number of electrical degrees from one of the three phases of the input source.
