Abstract:
An energy storage device heating system (1,1') includes an energy storage device (60), a power supply (20) structured to generate a source of harvested energy (26) by harvesting energy from a power source (10), a heater (70,70') disposed proximate to the energy storage device and structured to use the harvested energy to generate heat, a charging unit (50) structured to use the harvested energy to charge the energy storage device, a selection circuit (30) structured to selectively electrically connect the source of harvested energy to the charging unit or the heater, and a control unit (40) including a selection control module (42) structured to control the selection circuit to switch between electrically connecting the source of harvested energy to the charging unit and electrically connecting the source of harvested energy to the heater.
Abstract:
A system for monitoring one or more aspects of a fuse tube assembly (22) of a fuse cutout (12) comprises: a housing (102) structured to be disposed adjacent to, and coupled to the fuse tube assembly (22); a power source (120) disposed in the housing (102); a processing unit (122) disposed in the housing (102) and electrically coupled to the power source (120); and a motion detecting unit (126) disposed in the housing (102) and electrically coupled to the processing unit (122), the motion detecting unit (126) being structured to detect one or both of position or movement of the housing (102).
Abstract:
An electronic device (20) including a component (38, 40) and a light circuit (34, 34') structured to detect light. The light circuit is structured to output a detection signal in response to detecting light and the detection signal is used to wake up or communicate with the component.
