METHOD, A SYSTEM, A COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM, AND A POWER CONTROLLING APPARATUS FOR APPLYING AND DISTRIBUTING POWER

摘要

Embodiments of the invention relate generally to power management and the like, and more particularly, to an apparatus, a system, a method, and a computer-readable medium for providing power controlling functionality to generate configurable power signals and to deliver power during fault conditions. In at least some embodiments, a power control unit can generate power signals having configurable attributes as a function of a mode of operation, a fault type, and the like.

主权项

1. A power control unit comprising:
a first portion of memory configured to store data representing operational profiles for generating a power signal as a function of a parameter; a mode controller configured to select an operational profile from the operational profiles to establish a selected operational profile; a waveform control module configured to generate the power signal in accordance with the selected operational profile; a second portion of memory configured to store data representing fault profiles that include thresholds for determining types of faults; and a fault detector configured to:
detect a fault based on the fault profiles, and todetermine whether the fault is associated with a first subset of faults or a second subset of faults, and toperform a fault action.
