Devices and methods for determining whether an electrical device or component can sustain variations in voltage |
摘要 |
A method of determining whether an electrical appliance can tolerate variations in supplied electrical energy. In some embodiments, the method may include coupling the electrical appliance to a source of electrical energy, delivering electrical energy to the electrical appliance, wherein the electrical energy is delivered at a first electrical energy level, obtaining a first measurement of current consumed by the electrical appliance at the first electrical energy level, delivering electrical energy to the electrical appliance at a second electrical energy level different than the first electrical energy level, obtaining a second measurement of current consumed by the electrical appliance at the second electrical energy level, and comparing the first measurement of current to the second measurement of current. |

1. A method of determining whether an electrical appliance can tolerate variations in supplied electrical energy, the method comprising:
coupling the electrical appliance to a source of electrical energy; delivering electrical energy to the electrical appliance, wherein the electrical energy is delivered at a first electrical energy level; obtaining a first measurement of current consumed by the electrical appliance at the first electrical energy level; delivering electrical energy to the electrical appliance at a second electrical energy level different than the first electrical energy level; obtaining a second measurement of current consumed by the electrical appliance at the second electrical energy level; comparing the first measurement of current to the second measurement of current; and controlling or varying the electrical power delivered to the electrical appliance based on the result of the comparison. |
