Abstract
Devices and methods for protecting against a surge in a luminaire are provided. For example, a controller for use with a luminaire is provided. The controller can include a first circuit configured to sense a surge in voltage or current. The controller can further include a second circuit configured to switch a relay in response to the first circuit having sensed the surge in voltage or current.
Claims15
A controller for use with a luminaire, comprising:
- a surge detection circuit configured to sense a surge in voltage or current;
- a relay control circuit configured to repeatedly switch a relay in response to the surge detection circuit having sensed the surge in voltage or current;
- the controller including a first circuitry configured to measure at least one electrical parameter of the surge, and a second circuitry configured to transmit the at least one electric parameter of the surge to a remote device;
- and
- the second circuitry configured to send a signal after the surge is sensed to a direct current (DC) converter circuit to shut down an alternating current output voltage supply internal to the DC converter circuit.
