Title: Jörg Wallerath: Electrical Protection and Power-Failure Detection

Introduction

Jörg Wallerath is an inventor based in Essen, Germany. His work includes inventions related to electrical threshold detection and testing overcurrent protection systems. He is credited with 4 patents.

Latest Patents

Wallerath’s recent patent work includes “Device and Method for Self-Adjusting an Electrical Threshold for Detecting a Power Failure.” The invention uses a framing unit to compare a setpoint signal with successive reference-signal intervals arranged in a geometric sequence. The resulting output controls a switch that selects a reference signal to serve as the electrical detection threshold.

Another recent patent is “Testing Device, Overcurrent Protector, and Method of Testing an Overcurrent Protector.” The system uses two switches and pre-charged capacitors to establish a test-current path through an overcurrent protector. The capacitor voltages are selected so that the potential peak current exceeds the protector’s overcurrent threshold, enabling the device to be tested.
