ABSTRACT:
A solid state, reverse power flow detector and control circuit which samples the line voltage and current, once each cycle. The voltage sampling circuit includes a pulse generator providing a voltage pulse of short duration at a given time or phase angle in each cycle. The voltage signals are applied to an SCR through a gate operated by the current signals. With forward or no current the voltage signals do not reach the SCR. When current reverses the voltage signals are allowed to trigger the SCR. The SCR turns on a transistor energizing a relay, after a brief delay. The relay acts to set the regulator or other device in power reverse condition. When current again is forward the relay is deenergized and the device returned to the power forward condition.
