Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A control system (10) actively limits the power drawn from a main power distribution bus (20) by one or more electric loads (30). The system (10) includes circuitry (14) for determining a maximum permissible current magnitude that may be supplied to the loads (30) based on a signal representative of the voltage magnitude supplied to the loads (30). Additional circuitry (18, 34) limits the power drawn from the main power distribution bus (20) to the maximum permissible current magnitude from exceeding a predetermined maximum power level. As a result the required design capacity , of power generation components and the power distribution system can be reduced in size, weight, and cost.

Why it's free to use
- Filed April 4, 2002. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended April 4, 2022.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by April 4, 2024.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
