Electric power conversion systems

SECTION I - CLASS DEFINITION

This is a restricted class for conversion systems wherein a single electrical source circuit is coupled to a single electrical load circuit.

A. LOAD IN OUTPUT CIRCUIT

1. Load Defined By Its Characteristics:

This class provides for conversion systems as defined the Glossary, below, even though the electrical load in the output circuit is recited by its characteristics, e.g., an inductive load, a load having negative current resistance characteristic, etc.

2. Particular Load Device:

Systems wherein a particular load device is recited in the output circuit are classified with the particular art even though the load device is recited by name only, e.g., a motor, an electrical furnace, etc. A partial list of such art systems is set forth under References to Other Classes, below.

3. What This Class Does Not Provide For:

This class does not provide for systems having a plurality of load devices whether the load devices are in different output circuits or in the same output circuit, except where the plural load device in a single output circuit are similar type loads. Therefore, if there are a plurality of diverse load devices in a single output circuit, even though recited only by their characteristics, e.g., a high inductive load and a low inductive load, then the system is excluded from this class.
