A sensor for inductively measuring the current in a conductor flowing through a recess in a printed circuit board. Wire loops on the printed circuit board function as the inductive current sensor. Combined with a voltage measurement, the energy being dissipated in the conductor's load circuit can be determined and transmitted wirelessly. Control circuits can be integrated with the metering hardware to enable the remote modulation of the load's power. The inductive sensor(s) can be used to track differences between the load's supply and return currents. If a fault is detected, the circuit can be broken for safety, serving a ground fault circuit interruption (GFCI) purpose. The claimed invention can report measurements in real time, providing time series data for analyses sufficient to detect or identify an anomaly in the function and operation within a system's load or electrical power distribution network.

A microwave processing apparatus is provided with an oscillator, a power amplifier, a heating chamber that accommodates an object to be heated, a power feeder which is disposed on a wall surface of the heating chamber, which receives an output transmitted from a microwave generator and which radiatively feeds the microwave into the heating chamber, and a power detector that detects the power reflected from the power feeder to the power amplifier. The microwave processing apparatus determines a plurality of points of heating frequencies by using top several points of minimum point frequencies of the reflected power, and performs frequency hopping heating within a predetermined unit time.

According to the overload current limiting method for a voltage source converter, when a pole control system receives a water-cooling overload current limiting instruction, an active and reactive instruction are changed at the same time according to a specified slope, so that an absolute value of an arm current of the converter decreases in a fixed slope, and can be ensured that active power and reactive power fall to zero at the same time, and a water-cooling load limiting aim of the converter can be achieved by reducing the arm current. After a water-cooling overload power limiting instruction received by the pole control system is cancelled, a current value of the active power and the inactive power remain unchanged. When a water-cooling overload power limiting instruction is received again, decrease continues on the basis of current power values until the power falls to zero.
