Electrical outlet unit

摘要

An electrical unit outlet device is disclosed for controlling power isolation, based on a predetermined time, for a device charger, while remaining plugged into a power outlet. An electrical outlet unit circuit cuts any power to the charging device off when charge is complete. An electrical device to limit the electrical power consumed by battery chargers, that are used to recharge the batteries of devices is described which includes: (1) a means to initiate a charging cycle; (2) surge protection circuit to protect both the battery charger and the device being recharged; and (3) an automatic control circuit to terminate a charging cycle. Secondly for the device to maintain the battery at full charge for extended periods of time while limiting power consumption, which includes: (1) a means to repeatedly initiate an abbreviated charging cycle and (2) a means to control the amount of time between the abbreviated charging cycles.

主权项

1. An electrical outlet unit comprising:
a. A housing; b. A main electrical inlet for receiving electricity from an external alternating current power source;
i. A plurality of electrical outlets for discharging electricity wherein said main electrical inlet and said plurality of electrical outlets are mounted to said housing and are electrically connected by a plurality of cooperating circuits further comprising:
1. A surge protection circuit, wherein said surge protection circuit is connected to said alternating current power source;2. A power supply circuit, wherein said surge protection circuit diverts current having a voltage potential above a predetermined value away from said power supply circuit;3. A RC timer circuit, wherein said RC timer circuit is electrically connected to said power supply circuit;4. A relay circuit, wherein said RC timer circuit is electrically connected to said power supply circuit and wherein at least one relay contact opens to isolate said electrical power source from said plurality of electrical outlets or said at least one relay contact doses to allow electrical power to flow from said electrical power source to said plurality of electrical outlets; and,ii. wherein said RC timer circuit controls the duration current is allowed to flow from said power supply circuit to said relay circuit to said plurality of said electrical outlets; and,iii. wherein a user may set the RC control circuit in discrete increments of time to control the duration of operation of said electrical outlet unit.
