Appl. No.:

15/205761

Inventors:

- Reno NV, US
William H. Avery - Reno NV, US

International Classification:

H01H 47/22

Abstract:

Systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided in which power control relay switches may be configured to switch at or near a predetermined time during an AC cycle and/or that are configured to control a velocity of an armature of the relay switch during switching. An input power source may provide alternating current (AC) power and a voltage or current level of the AC power may be sensed. A relay controller may switch the relay switch based on a time at which the voltage or current is at or near a zero-crossing. The relay controller may be configured to close the relay switch based on when a voltage of the power input is at a zero-crossing, and is configured to open the relay switch based on when a current of the power input is at a zero-crossing.

Appl. No.:

14/959207

Inventors:

William Harold Avery - Reno NV, US

International Classification:

G01R 15/20
H02J 3/00
G01R 33/09

Abstract:

Various embodiments of the present disclosure are related to systems, devices, and methods for current sensing. In one example, a current sensing circuit includes a magneto-resistive sensor device proximate to a current carrying conductor and configured to output a voltage representative of a current carried by the proximate current carrying conductor and a first sensor feedback loop responsive to an alternating magnetic field generated by the current carried by the current carrying conductor. The first sensor feedback loop is configured to supply a bias current to the magneto-resistive sensor device and substantially cancel the alternating magnetic field generated by the current carried by the current carrying conductor.
