Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Phase balancing techniques for power transmission systems are disclosed. In one embodiment, a phase balancing protocol ( 240 ) includes executing a first phase balancing protocol ( 350 ) in relation to a first power transmission section ( 400 a ). A second phase balancing protocol ( 370 ) may be executed if the first phase balancing protocol ( 350 ) is unable to provide a phase balanced condition. The first phase balancing protocol ( 350 ) may utilize a first ordering sequence ( 364 ) to rank the current flow on the power lines ( 16 ) of the first power transmission section ( 400 a ), while the second phase balancing protocol ( 370 ) may utilize a second ordering sequence ( 384 ) to rank the current flow on the power lines ( 16 ) of the first power transmission section ( 400 a ). The order sequences ( 364, 384 ) are opposite of each other—one ranks the current flows from high-to-low, and the other ranks the current flow from low-to-high.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed: 1. A method of phase balancing a power transmission system, comprising: measuring a current flow on each power line of a plurality of power lines of a first power transmission section of a power transmission system, wherein each said power line is of a different phase, wherein each said power line has at least one first device mounted thereon, wherein each said first device is disposable in each of first and second modes, and wherein changing a given said first de…
