Power controller system

摘要

A power controller system configured to electrically supply a load via a circuit is provided. The system comprises, a switching device provided in an electrical pathway for supplying current to the load, a controller configured to open the switching device when a current through or voltage across the switching device exceeds a predetermined level; and an electrical pathway provided parallel to the load to enable load current to continue to flow through the parallel electrical pathway and the load when the switching device is open to dissipate inductive energy stored in the circuit connecting the parallel electrical pathway to the load.

1. A power controller system configured to electrically supply a load via a circuit, the system comprising:
a switching device provided in a first electrical pathway for supplying current to the load; a controller configured to open the switching device when a current through or voltage across the switching device exceeds a predetermined level; and a second electrical pathway provided parallel to the load and electrically coupled to the first electrical pathway when a state of the switching device is closed, a first inductive element in the second electrical pathway coupled in series with the load and configured to enable load current to continue to flow through the second electrical pathway and the load when the switching device is open to dissipate inductive energy stored in a second inductive element connecting the second electrical pathway to the load.
