Patent ID: 8656201

Claim:
A system for controlling the flow of power, comprising: a current source coupled to an uninterruptible power supply to provide an uninterruptible current; a first service connection, wherein the first service connection is coupled to the uninterruptible current using one or more conductors; one or more interruptible service connections, wherein the one or more interruptible service connections are coupled to the current source using one or more conductors; a monitor, measuring one or more parameters, disposed in, on, or about the conductor coupling the uninterruptible current to the first service connection; a control logic device coupled to the monitor; and a first switch disposed in, on, or about the one or more conductors coupling the current source to the one or more interruptible service connections, wherein the control logic device controls the first switch based upon one or more parameters measured by the monitor, wherein the control logic device comprises one or more registers, and wherein the one or more registers contain the peak value of the one or more parameters measured by the monitor; and, wherein the control logic device interrupts current flow through the first switch when the parameter measured by the monitor falls below about 35% of the value in the one or more registers; and, wherein the control logic device resumes current flow through the first switch when the parameter measured by the monitor rises above about 50% of the value in the one or more registers.
