Load Control Device Having an Overcurrent Protection Circuit

A load control device for controlling power delivered from an alternating-current power source to an electrical load may comprise a controllably conductive device, a control circuit, and an overcurrent protection circuit that is configured to be disabled when the controllably conductive device is non-conductive. The control circuit may be configured to control the controllably conductive device to be non-conductive at the beginning of each half-cycle of the AC power source and to render the controllably conductive device conductive at a firing time during each half-cycle (e.g., using a forward phase-control dimming technique). The overcurrent protection circuit may be configured to render the controllably conductive device non-conductive in the event of an overcurrent condition in the controllably conductive device. The overcurrent protection circuit may be disabled when the controllably conductive device is non-conductive and enabled after the firing time when the controllably conductive device is rendered conductive during each half-cycle.

Load control device for high-efficiency loads

A two-wire load control device (such as, a dimmer switch) for controlling the amount of power delivered from an AC power source to an electrical load (such as, a high-efficiency lighting load) includes a thyristor coupled between the source and the load, a gate coupling circuit coupled between a first main load terminal and the gate of the thyristor, and a control circuit coupled to a control input of the gate coupling circuit. The control circuit generates a drive voltage for causing the gate coupling circuit to conduct a gate current to thus render the thyristor conductive at a firing time during a half cycle of the AC power source, and to allow the gate coupling circuit to conduct the gate current at any time from the firing time through approximately the remainder of the half cycle, where the gate coupling circuit conducts approximately no net average current to render and maintain the thyristor conductive.

An LED security light includes an LED load and a motion sensor. The LED load is activated at dusk and deactivated at dawn by a light sensing control unit. At night, the LED load is activated for performing a low level illumination. When a motion signal is detected by the motion sensor, the LED load is switched to perform a high level illumination for a short time period and then resumes to the low level illumination. The low level illumination and the high level illumination are respectively adjustable within respective designed ranges. The LED load is driven by a switching circuitry comprising a driver to output an adequate voltage with constant electric current such that a voltage V across each LED is confined in a range V.sub.th<V<V.sub.max with V.sub.th being a threshold voltage and V.sub.max being a maximum voltage avoiding damaging the LED.
