Patent

CA 2213176

A power sharing device is disclosed, having a primary utility in supplying powerto automotive block heaters or other auto warming devices at a user selectable duty cycle of 12.5% or 25%. In a first mode, power is supplied to 4 outlets in a sequential manner, for 15 minutes each. In a second mode, power is supplied to the 4 outlets in a sequential manner, for 7.5 minutes each, followed by a period of 7.5 minutes in which power is not supplied. The user may elect to initiate a delay period, that is selectable between 1 and 2 hours, to precede the sequence of power distribution, allowing time for the car to cool before the power cycles begin. A test circuit, activated by a pushbutton, allows a user to distinguish between the periods of time when power is not beingsupplied to an outlet as a part of the sequential sharing of power between outlets and a circuit malfunction, such as a blown fuse.

Dispositif de partage du courant servant principalement à fournir du courant à des chauffe-blocs d'automobile, ou à d'autres dispositifs chauffants automatiques, à un facteur de marche réglable par l'utilisateur de 12,5 % ou 25 %. Selon un premier mode, le courant est transmis à 4 sorties de façon séquentielle durant 15 minutes. Selon un second mode, le courant est transmis à 4 sorties de façon séquentielle durant 7,5 minutes. Cette étape est suivie d'une période de 7,5 minutes durant laquelle le courant n'est pas fourni. L'utilisateur peut choisir de programmer un délai de 1 à 2 heures précédant le cycle de distribution de puissance, afin de permettre à la voiture de refroidir avant le début du cycle. Un circuit essayé, actionné par bouton-poussoir, permet à l'utilisateur de faire la distinction entre les périodes où le courant n'est pas transmis à une sortie, durant le partage séquentiel de courant entre les sorties, et une défectuosité du circuit comme un fusible fondu.
