Title: Pablo A. Briff: Electrical Power Systems Inventor

Introduction

Pablo A. Briff is an inventor based in Derby, Great Britain, whose work focuses on electrical power systems. He is associated with Rolls-Royce Corporation and is credited with 2 patents.

Latest Patents

Briff’s patent work includes two inventions concerning the control and protection of DC electrical networks.

One invention describes a DC:DC power converter connected between a DC power source and a network divided into zones that supply separate groups of electrical loads. When the control system detects a fault, it gradually increases the current supplied to the network. It then opens controllable circuit breakers according to separate trip profiles, allowing the system to respond at different current thresholds and isolate affected sections.

The other invention describes a power converter connected to a DC electrical network, with a capacitor between the converter’s output terminals and a resistor controlled by a switch arrangement. The switches can place the resistor in series between the converter and network, bypass it, or connect it across the capacitor. A control system selects the switch configuration to manage the electrical power system.

Career Highlights

Briff’s listed inventions address practical challenges in DC power distribution, including fault response, circuit protection, and control of electrical connections. His work reflects an emphasis on configurable systems that can manage current and protect network components.
