THE UNIQUE AND PATENTED PARTS
Let us take a look at each one and give a history so that what is so different is clear. For the most part the patent information has that. But what is not clear is what is so different and why. So we will look at each one.
A. Controller. We were not stupid enough to just begin from the ground up. We found many devices that were already doing similar things. It is just that they were not thinking machines and lacked special features. We found a very good controller made in Germany that almost fit the bill. Working with the Balluk company, we found enough space inside to add what we needed. Among them we knew we needed a zero counter to prepare the controller to look at any nominal frequency. (60 Hz in the U.S. and most other places) and (50 Hz in the British Commonwealth locations) But the problem was that even those nominal frequencies were all just approximate. 60 Hz was always only 59.6 or 60.2 or some other slight change. The only way to effectively deal with precise problems was to know what the real nominal frequency was because generators were even worse. Or we never knew where power came from to know what the difference was.
Also we were going to combine out unique contactor with this controller to find the right time to switch so that at least one phase came down at zero crossing of the sine wave.
We knew it had to count the number of contacts to aid in replacement. Our controller counts every closing so any number can be seen to watch for failure. There is a chip inside the controller which counts this.
So many other electrical facts also had to be considered other than just frequency, voltage and current. So this controller considers KVARS, actual power, the real distance current is behind voltage and not just consider the difference between real and expected power because harmonics are a waste too and can mislead the PF total. It also calculates several other components which are listed in our patent application. So, Nobody has a controller like ours. They are not the same at all. It is misleading to think that the Balluk model number on the front case is the same as our controller. A completely different number is assigned to this controller on the back to identify it.
B. Contactor. This device is so different that repeating anything here is redundant. Look at the patent information. There is no contactor like this anywhere else in the world.
