Abstract
A transformer assembly includes: a first switching apparatus configured to be electrically connected to a first segment of a transformer loop; a second switching apparatus configured to be electrically connected to a second segment of the transformer loop; and a transformer including: a first coil electrically connected to the first switching apparatus and the second switching apparatus; and a second coil electrically connected to an output configured to electrically connect to a load.
Claims23
(canceled)
A control system comprising:
- an electronic processing module comprising one or more electronic processors;
- and
- an electronic storage coupled to the electronic processing module, the electronic storage configured to store source configuration information that identifies at least one switching apparatus of a transformer apparatus as a normally open point in a transformer loop.
An apparatus comprising:
- a switching apparatus configured to be electrically connected to a transformer, the switching apparatus comprising:
- a first controllable switch, and a second controllable switch electrically connected to the first controllable switch;
- and
- a control system configured to control the switching apparatus, the control system comprising:
- an electronic processing module comprising one or more electronic processors;
- and
- an electronic storage coupled to the electronic processing module, the electronic storage comprising instructions that, when executed, cause the electronic processing module to:
- process data identifying one of the first controllable switch and the second controllable switch as an identified switch;
- and
- cause the identified switch to change states.
A system comprising:
- a switching apparatus comprising:
- a first controllable switch and a second controllable switch;
- a transformer comprising:
- a first electrically conductive coil electrically connected to the first controllable switch and the second controllable switch;
- and
- a second electrically conductive coil configured to magnetically couple to the first electrically conductive coil and to electrically connect to a load;
- and
- a control system configured to control the switching apparatus, the control system comprising:
- an electronic processing module comprising one or more electronic processors;
- and
- an electronic storage coupled to the electronic processing module, the electronic storage configured to store source configuration information that identifies a normally open point in a transformer loop, wherein the normally open point comprises one of the first controllable switch, the second controllable switch, and a third controllable switch electrically connected to a second transformer.
