Filed:

May 11, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/569261

Inventors:

Patrizio Vinciarelli - Boston MA, US
Jeremiah Noel Foley - Middleton MA, US
Scott William Nowak - Londonderry NH, US
Charles Steven Skoolicas - Nashua NH, US

Assignee:

VLT, Inc. - Sunnyvale CA

International Classification:

G06F 1750
G06F 1900

US Classification:

700 97, 700117, 700182, 703 1, 716 11

Abstract:

An automated custom power supply design system uses an expert system containing a set of rules, including manufacturing limitations to limit design choices and ensure feasibility and manufacturability of the design. A design interface collects specifications from a user. A complement of power components for satisfying the electrical specifications is defined and mechanical specifications for each component are provided by the system for use in creating the mechanical design. After the mechanical design is established a thermal analysis is performed and the completed design is returned to a host computer. After an order is received, a computer integrated manufacturing system generates all of the specifications required to manufacture the components for the system and the system.

International Classification:

H01R 25/00
H01R 4/00
H01R 3/00
H02J 3/38

US Classification:

307147, 307 43, 307 82, 307 84

Abstract:

A system and apparatus for interconnecting an array of power generating assemblies includes a cable assembly having a plurality of continuous conductors and a plurality of cable connectors electrically coupled to the continuous conductors. The continuous conductors are configured to receive inverter AC power generated by inverters and deliver the combined AC power to an AC grid or other power sink. The cable connectors are configured to mate with corresponding connectors of the inventers to deliver the AC power to the continuous conductors.

Abstract:

An automated custom power supply design and manufacturing system uses an expert system containing a set of rules, including manufacturing limitations to limit design choices and ensure feasibility and manufacturability of the design. A design interface collects specifications from a user. A complement of power components for satisfying the electrical specifications is defined and mechanical specifications for each component are provided by the system for use in creating the mechanical design. After the mechanical design is established a thermal analysis is performed and the completed design is returned to a host computer. After an order is received, a computer integrated manufacturing system generates all of the specifications required to manufacture the components for the system and the system. A multiconductor snake wiring system which uses a flexible bus structure with taps for providing connections to the components is also disclosed. An automated facility for manufacturing the snake wiring system is also described.
