초록 ▼

Novel circuits for providing ride-through during unpredictable power line disturbances are disclosed in connection with low-power electronic devices. Such low-power electronics devices are typically subjected to undesirable lock-ups and reboots under momentary power line disturbances such as voltage sags, voltage swells, and other momentary line power disturbances. Diagnostics and visual indication are also integrated in the circuits to allow consumers to correlate equipment lock-up and malfunction with power disturbances, and to provide service providers with various analytics and historical data on the recorded disturbances. To reduce cost, the disclosed circuits utilize a simple DC capacitor without any additional power conditioning switches or converters. In one exemplary embodiment, the disclosed circuits are embedded inside a power line cord to provide a ride-through during the brief interval of time such power line disturbances occur.

1. A method for providing temporary power to an electrical load during momentary disturbances in an electrical power supply that provides an input AC line voltage to the electrical load, comprising the steps of: providing a microprocessor for sensing a representative AC voltage corresponding to an instantaneous value of the input AC line voltage and for providing a switching signal in response to detection of a momentary disturbance in the electrical power supply;providing a selectively actuatable switch coupled between the electrical power supply and the electrical load, the switch responsive to the switching signal provided by the microprocessor to be placed in either (i) a first switching state wherein the electrical load is directly coupled to the electrical power supply, or (ii) a second switching state in which the direct coupling is opened such that the load is disconnected from the electrical power supply;providing a ride-through circuit comprising a first resistance, a second resistance, a diode, and a capacitance that charges from the electrical power supply through the diode and the first resistance when the switch is in the first switching state, the capacitance discharging through the second resistance to provide temporary power to the electrical load when the switch is in the second switching state;upon detection by the microprocessor that the representative AC voltage indicates a momentary disturbance in the electrical power supply, changing the selectively actuatable switch from the first switching state to the second switching state such that the load is connected to the ride-through circuit for providing temporary power to the electrical load;upon detection by the microprocessor that the representative AC voltage has returned to normal operating conditions, returning the selectively actuatable switch to the first switching state for recharging the capacitance. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of providing one or more light emitting diodes operatively coupled to the microprocessor for providing visual indication corresponding to determination of at least one type of momentary disturbance in the electrical power supply detected by the microprocessor. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the at least one type of momentary disturbance does not exceed a predetermined number of cycles in the AC voltage and is selected from the following group: voltage swells, voltage sags, brownouts, overvoltages, and power outages. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the momentary disturbance corresponds to detection that the representative AC voltage is less than a first predetermined threshold and the switch is currently in the first switching state. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the momentary disturbance corresponds to detection that the representative AC voltage is greater than a first predetermined threshold and the switch is currently in the first switching state. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the momentary disturbance corresponds to detection that representative AC voltage is less than a second predetermined threshold and the switch is currently in the second switching state. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the momentary disturbance corresponds to detection that representative AC voltage is greater than a second predetermined threshold and the switch is currently in the second switching state. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the selectively actuable switch comprises an electromechanical relay configured to be operated by DC power. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein the electromechanical relay is a singlepole, double-throw (SPDT) relay. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the switch remains in the second state for a duration of about 15 cycles of 60 Hz of the AC line voltage, the capacitance in the ride-through circuit thereby providing temporary power to the electrical load for that duration. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the switch assumes the first state at startup of the microprocessor. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the switch assumes in the second state at start-up of the microprocessor.
