Abstract
A high voltage pulse power delivery system is provided that includes dedicated safety features including fault detection and fault management. Alongside normal communications cabling, the pulse power delivery system provides remote power over standard multi-conductor cabling without dedicated conduit or separation. This simplifies installation of equipment, increases overall speed of deployment, and significantly reduces cost for deployment. The pulse power delivery system is further configured to transport power through a pulse current waveform.
Claims17
A pulser device included in a fault managed power delivery system, the pulser device comprising:
- a discharger circuit configured to:
- generate a pulse power signal by pulsing a high voltage DC power according to a periodic scheme that includes an ON-TIME and an OFF-TIME, wherein an ON voltage for the high voltage DC power during the ON-TIME is greater than 60 V and less than 400 V, and an OFF voltage for the high voltage DC power during the OFF-TIME is a predetermined safe voltage that is less than 60 V;
- and
- transmit the pulse power signal on a transmission line coupled to a voltage converter device;
- and
- a switch circuit configured to:
- monitor a voltage on the transmission line, and cut off the pulse power signal transmitting over the transmission line when a fault condition is detected based on the monitored voltage for a duration lasting at least a predetermined off time.
