Title: Innovations by That Nguyen in Solid State Power Control
Introduction
That Nguyen is a notable inventor based in Mississauga, Canada. He has made significant contributions to the field of solid state power control, holding a total of 5 patents. His work focuses on enhancing the efficiency and safety of power management systems.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents involves SSPC technology incorporated with thermal memory effects to achieve fuse curve coordination. This invention includes methods and apparatuses that implement a thermal memory effect for a solid state power controller. The solid state power controller trip apparatus features a trip module with a first capacitor and a counter. The first capacitor charges multiple times during an overcurrent event, while the counter accumulates a count related to the charging of the first capacitor to detect a trip condition. Additionally, a discharging module connected to the trip module includes a resistor and a second capacitor, allowing an electrical parameter associated with the count to decay over time.
Another significant patent by Nguyen provides a secondary means of overload protection and leakage current protection in applications using solid state power controllers. This invention features an overload protection circuit with a first switch connected to a source of electrical power and a load. The control module generates signals that control the modes of both the first and second switches, ensuring that both overcurrent and leakage protection are achieved.
