US Patent Issued to ModularMC on Nov. 25 for "Power source emulator and method for testing switchgear" (Virginia Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 25 -- United States Patent no. 12,483,009, issued on Nov. 25, was assigned to ModularMC LLC (McLean, Va.).

"Power source emulator and method for testing switchgear" was invented by Ronald Rube Whitt (Boydton, Va.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A power source emulator is provided for testing programmable switchgear that switches to an alternative three-phase power source upon sensing a failure of a grid source. The emulator provides three simulated three-phase power sources for testing switchgear. Each source is identical in voltage and phase to the current normally distributed by the switchgear but has less than 1% of the amperage. Each power source includes a single thr...
