65results about How to "Increase the starting voltage" patented technology

A discharge lamp ballast having a starting circuit including a second inductor connected between a first end of a discharge lamp and the positive voltage side of a first capacitor; a second capacitor forming a resonance circuit together with the second inductor; a second switching element connected between the positive terminal of a DC power source and the second end of the lamp; a third switching element connected between the second end of the lamp and the negative voltage side of the first capacitor; and a starting controller that controls both switching elements. The starting controller alternately turns both switching elements on and off so as to contribute resonance voltage of the resonance circuit for starting of the lamp in case of the starting mode.

An invertor-surge resistant insulated wire provided with at least one layer of an enamel fusion layer (2) on the outer circumference of a conductor (1), and at least one layer of an extrusion-coating resin layer (3) on the outer side of the enamel fusion layer (2). The combined thickness of the enamel fusion layer (2) and the extrusion-coating resin layer (3) is equal to or greater than 50μm, the thickness of the enamel fusion layer (2) is equal to or less than 60μm, and the thickness of the extrusion-coating resin layer (3) is equal to or less than 200μm. The minimum tensile elasticity of the extrusion-coating resin layer (3) at 25-250ºC is equal to or greater than 100MPa. The relative dielectric constant of an insulating layer, which is a combination of the enamel fusion layer (2) and the extrusion-coating resin layer (3), is equal to or less than 3.5 at 25 ºC, and equal to or less than 5.0 at 250 ºC. The relationship between the relative dielectric constant (ε1') of the enamel fusion layer (2) at 250 ºC and the relative dielectric constant (ε2') of the extrusion-coating resin layer (3) at 250 ºC satisfies (ε2' / ε1')>1.

An inverter surge-resistant insulated wire wherein: at least one baked enamel layer and at least one extrusion coated resin layer, which is arranged on the outer side of the baked enamel layer, are provided around a conductor that has a rectangular cross-sectional shape; an adhesive layer having a thickness of 2-20 μm is provided between the baked enamel layer(s) and the extrusion coated resin layer(s); all of the extrusion coated resin layer(s) on the adhesive layer are formed of a same resin; the baked enamel layer(s) and the extrusion coated resin layer(s) in a cross-section of the inverter surge-resistant insulated wire have a rectangular cross-sectional shape; in the rectangular cross-sectional shape surrounding the conductor in the cross section and formed by the baked enamel layer(s) and the extrusion coated resin layer(s), both sides of at least one pair of sides among two pairs of sides that respectively face each other vertically or horizontally with respect to the conductor have a total thickness of the baked enamel layer(s) and the extrusion coated resin layer(s) of 80 μm or more, a thickness of the baked enamel layer(s) of 60 μm or less, and a thickness of the extrusion coated resin layer(s) of 200 μm or less; and the resin of the extrusion coated resin layer(s) has a melting point of from 300°C to 370°C (inclusive). A method for producing an inverter surge-resistant insulated wire, wherein an adhesive layer is formed around a baked enamel layer and a thermoplastic resin for forming an extrusion coated resin layer, said thermoplastic resin being in a molten state at a temperature that is higher than the glass transition temperature of the resin used for the adhesive layer, is extruded onto and brought into contact with the adhesive layer.

A system for starting an internal combustion engine includes a battery system, a charger to receive DC battery power from the battery system and convert the power to a DC charging current, a supercapacitor array having a plurality of supercapacitor cells connected to the charger to receive the DC charging current therefrom, and a motor starter to start the internal combustion engine responsive to a DC input from the supercapacitor array. The charger modifies a voltage of the supercapacitor cells in an on-demand fashion, with the charger programmed to provide DC charging current to the supercapacitor array to hold the supercapacitor cells at a first voltage, receive a bump-up command indicative of an upcoming engine start and, responsive to receiving the bump-up command, provide DC charging current to the supercapacitor array to increase a voltage of the supercapacitor cells temporarily to a second voltage higher than the first voltage.
