Hugh T Kinsel

Hugh T Kinsel is a prolific inventor from Sugar Hill, GA in the United States with a total of 20 patents to his name. His latest contributions to the world of innovation and patenting include two different versions of a circuit breaker distribution system designed to provide selective coordination.

These systems utilize a solid-state switch as the main or upstream breaker, with a second switch, equipped with over current protection, serving as the branch or downstream breaker. Kinsel's designs incorporate a microcontroller, a processor, and memory, as well as special computer-readable logic code that allows for specific functionality. This includes allowing repeated pulses of current through the branch or downstream breaker in situations of overload or short circuit, and selecting a maximum current limit for the solid-state switch as a "chop level" sufficient to prevent damage from repeated pulsing over time. Additionally, there is the addition of a pulse interval after the current chops to prevent immediate return to an ON state for the next pulse.

Kinsel's patenting work is carried out in conjunction with Siemens Industry, Inc., one of the world's leading industrial technology companies. His colleagues at Siemens include Joselito Endozo and Amit Nayak, among others.

Overall, Hugh T Kinsel's contributions to the world of innovation and patenting demonstrate his expertise in creating more efficient, functional systems in the field of electrical engineering. With multiple patents and a talented team at Siemens, he is sure to continue to make major advances in the industry for years to come.
