Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods for power start up in a multi-unit power distribution network contemplate selectively disconnecting and reconnecting a remote subunit from a power conductor in a power distribution network at a relatively low frequency while providing short current pulses (at a low duty cycle) with enough energy transfer to power conditioning elements within the remote subunit during a start-up sequence. Once the power conditioning elements are properly charged, the remote subunit may change frequencies of the disconnecting and reconnecting so as to synchronize such disconnections to an expected frequency at the power source. Circuitry at the power source may measure activity on the power conductors regardless of frequency to detect an unwanted load on the power conductors (e.g., a human contacting the power conductors).
