Abstract:
1. An automatic power adapter for use in electrically connecting a power source to a load, said automatic adapter including electrical circuits, and further comprising: first plug means for receiving a first input from said power source; second plug means for receiving a second input from said power source; output connector means for providing voltage and current output to said load; relay network means for automatically sensing the relative phase alignment of said first and second inputs from said power source; contactor network means for selectively providing an output to said connector means, said contactor network means providing the sum of current amperage from said first and second inputs from said power source; said relay network means and said contactor network means automatically detecting the phase relationship of said first and second inputs from said power source, whether said phase relationship is aligned or not aligned, and automatically compensating for and correcting said phase relationship when not aligned, and electrically connecting said first and second inputs to said output connector in proper phase alignment condition; said automatic power adapter sensing said phase relationship of said first and second inputs and, depending upon said phase relationship, selectively enabling discrete circuit components, said discrete circuit components being separate, alternative and independent relays and contactors, to provide a desired output being the sum of current amperage from said power source inputs; said automatic power adapter continuing to operate and provide said desired output of the sum of current amperage of said power source inputs in proper phase alignment condition irrespective and without regard to whether said phase relationship is initially synchronized or not synchronized and irrespective and without regard to any predetermined relationship of said phase relationship; and whereby said automatic power adapter provides said desired output of the sum of current amperage of said power source inputs in proper phase alignment condition, whether said phase relationship is initially aligned or not aligned.
