Title: Yu-kai Chen and Spacecraft Power Protection
Introduction
Yu-kai Chen is an inventor associated with the Taiwan Space Agency and based in Huwei, Taiwan. His patent work addresses spacecraft power systems, with a focus on limiting excessive current and protecting connected equipment.
Latest Patents
Chen is named on 1 patent: “Latch Current Limiter Circuit for Spacecraft and Spacecraft Power System Using the Same.” The invention describes a latch current limiter circuit placed between a power supply and a receiving terminal. A semiconductor switch can operate in conduction, cutoff, or resistance mode, while an LLC DC-to-DC converter controls its operation. When current exceeds a specified threshold, the converter adjusts its frequency and output voltage to place the switch in resistance mode. If the current does not return to its normal level within a preset period, the circuit switches to cutoff mode and stops supplying power to the load.
Career Highlights
Chen’s listed work connects his inventive activity with spacecraft electrical systems and power protection. The patent’s approach combines semiconductor switching with converter-based control to respond to overcurrent conditions.
Collaborations
Chung-en Hsiao and Yu-shan Tai are identified as Chen’s coworkers. The available information does not specify their roles in the patent or the nature of their collaboration.
Conclusion
Yu-kai Chen’s patent describes a controlled, staged response to overcurrent in spacecraft power systems, progressing from current limitation to cutoff when necessary.
