| 20090240377 | POWER MONITORING SYSTEM - The invention provides a hierarchically accessible monitoring system configured to be used with a standby generator, and a method of remotely accessing generator information from a standby generator. The hierarchically accessible monitoring system includes an interface unit configured to receive information from the standby generator and to communicate the generator information, and a remote data server in communication with the interface unit. The remote data server receives the generator information from the interface unit, stores the generator information, and controls access to the generator information based upon at least two hierarchical levels, each hierarchical level having different access privileges. The hierarchically accessible monitoring system also includes a user interface configured to display the generator information from the remote data server to at least one user. The user has access privileges to read the generator information based upon the user's assigned hierarchical level. | 09-24-2009 |
| 20110054707 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING POWER USAGE - A control system for a home generator includes circuitry configured to determine a first cost of electricity provided by an off-site provider, determine a second cost of electricity produced by the home generator, compare the first cost with the second cost, and provide the result of the comparison as an output. | 03-03-2011 |

| 20090058191 | TRANSFER SWITCH - A system for use with an electrical distribution panel having a bonded neutral connection. In some embodiments, the system includes a generator having a first bonded neutral connection and a ground fault circuit interrupter. The system also includes a neutral bus that is connected to either the bonded neutral connection of the distribution panel or the bonded neutral connection of the generator. Additionally, the system includes a switch for disconnecting the neutral bus from the bonded neutral connection of the distribution panel and connecting the neutral bus to the bonded neutral connection of the generator. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20100225167 | POWER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME - A power management system connectable to a primary power source and a secondary power source, and a method of operating the power management system. A transfer switch is electrically connected to the primary and secondary power sources, and a plurality of branch circuits are electrically connected to the transfer switch. The plurality of branch circuits includes a plurality of electrical outlets. The system includes a controller wirelessly coupled to a plurality of portable receptacles, which are coupled between respective electrical outlets and managed devices. The controller manages the receptacles, and consequently the managed devices, during the second power source powering the transfer switch. | 09-09-2010 |

| 20080272099 | System and Method for Controlling Harmonics Injected onto an Input Line by a Welding-Type System - A system and method for operating an inverted-based power source includes a power input configured to receive alternating current (AC) power and a rectifier configured to convert the AC power to direct current (DC) power. The inverter-based power source also includes an inverter configured to receive the DC power from the rectifier and convert the DC power to AC power and a controller configured to generate switching signals according to a pattern of offsets from a regular half period and communicate the switching signals to the inverter or rectifier control operation of the inverter or rectifier. | 11-06-2008 |
| 20090101637 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING MULTIPLE PROCESSES IN A WELDING-TYPE POWER SOURCE USING A REFINED CONTROLLER ARCHITECTURE - A system and method for operating an welding-based power source includes an welding-type power source includes a power conditioner configured to receive power from a power source and condition the power to have characteristics within a predefined set of thresholds and an inverter configured to receive the conditioned power from the power conditioner and convert the conditioned power to AC power. The welding-type power source also includes a rectifier configured to convert the AC power to DC welding-type power to drive a welding-type process and a processor segregated into at least two functional modules. The processor may be a field programmable gate array (FPGA) based processor. A first functional module is configured to control the power conditioner to condition the power to have characteristics within the predefined set of thresholds and a second functional module is configured to control the inverter to convert the conditioned power to AC power. | 04-23-2009 |
| 20100006551 | ENHANCED POWER FACTOR CORRECTION FOR WELDING AND CUTTING POWER SUPPLIES - Enhanced power factor correction for a welding-based power supply includes a controller that tracks a rectified input voltage waveform and detects zero-crossing events therein. The controller generates an ideal sinusoidal current reference signal synchronized by expected zero-crossings in the supplied power. The reference signal is used in a current control loop within the controller to control the power electronics such that the waveform of the current drawn by the power supply matches the waveform of the input voltage. The frequency of the supplied power may be calculated using the expected zero-crossings and used to adjust the expected zero-crossings. | 01-14-2010 |
