ELECTROKINETIC AIR TRANSPORT DEVICE AND REGULATOR DEVICE HAVING ENHANCED ARCHING DETECTION AND SUPPRESSION FUNCTION

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system for monitoring and suppressing arcing between the first and second electrodes of an electrokinetic system. PSOLUTION: Current (or voltage) corresponding to the electrokinetic system is monitored for regulating first count and second count. Every time the monitored value reaches the threshold, the first count is increased each time. Every time the first count reaches the first count threshold, the electrokinetic system is temporarily shut down for a specified period of time, the second count is increased, and the first count is re-initialized. The electrokinetic system is re-started after a predetermined period. When the second count reaches the second count threshold, the electrokinetic system is shut down till when the reset state is satisfied. PCOPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
