Dublin, California, November 11, 2021/PRNewswire/ - Amber Solutions, a young Silicon Valley company that is turning digital control of power in a solid-state architecture into a commercial reality, released a video demonstration of its patented technology— Amber Indestructible AC Switch™ — successfully suppressed 450 inductive load surges (usually several thousand volts each) to only 260 volts each in 15 minutes. Each AC switch needs to be a protection device for the user and the equipment itself. Before Amber, solid-state AC switches could never withstand the harsh electrical environment of AC power. Amber solid-state technology is very advanced. They have the main advantages of a smaller silicon chip size, including advanced digital surge protection, arc-free switching, increased switching speed by thousands of times, and higher quality and higher reliability Sexuality-even when used with traditional electromechanical architecture, as shown in this video.

Amber's Indestructible AC Switch™ is a unique patented breakthrough technology used in AC switches in solid-state architectures, eliminating electromechanical switches and fully protecting against transients such as inductance, capacitance, surge, overvoltage, and overcurrent The impact of load issues. Serving a wide range of market areas from consumer to commercial to full industrial-grade solutions, including product applications, such as sockets, dimmer switches, circuit breakers, surge protectors, GFCI, AFCI, etc.

In the video demonstration, Amber uses an oscilloscope to monitor the current, showing how the traditional electromechanical switches in the circuit breaker can generate dangerous arcs and thousands of volts of high-voltage inductive load surges, and how the company's breakthrough solid-state power management solutions are digitally Eliminate arcs and suppress surges-completely.

"By combining Amber's patented Indestructible AC Switch technology with Infineon's leading silicon MOSFET, we have proven that our design can achieve near-instantaneous digital surge suppression," said Thar Casey Amber, CEO. "The intelligent detection of overvoltage spikes allows our equipment to terminate connections thousands of times faster than standard traditional electromechanical switches. The ultra-high speed of intelligent detection and termination prevents surges from reaching destructive voltages and catastrophic failure of the device."

Casey continued: "This breakthrough in the indestructible AC switch in the solid state also includes the second Amber technology, which is used to directly extract direct current from the AC power source. These two sister technologies are used for digital control of power in modern solid-state architectures. Together they form a powerful, new, solid-state power management architecture. This new modern power management solution is changing the electrical engineering design possibilities of electric products."

Amber explained in the video that inductive load surges in electromechanical switches are inevitable because when the switch is closed, the remaining power in the downstream wiring will have a kickback effect. When the wire is disconnected from the feeder, it will automatically release any energy stored in the wire through the path of least resistance (ie the switch itself). Today, old electronic technology components that take up a lot of physical space are required to manage this event and may generate dangerous high-energy plasma arcs that can reach thousands of degrees on the switch's open contacts. Over time, such typical surges and arcs can cause deterioration of switch mechanical components and increase the risk of fire. Traditionally, solid-state AC switches could not survive this harsh environment—until Amber.

The video of Amber's revolutionary capabilities was released after the company recently obtained several patents related to the extraction of DC power from the AC grid and AC switches based on digital intelligence. These patented technologies comply with the UL 489i standard for solid-state circuit breakers and are designed to meet the future IEC specifications for circuit breakers that will be implemented in 2025.

Thar Casey, founder, president and CEO of Amber, pointed out that the company's repeated success and patents have attracted partnerships with major electrical product manufacturers around the world.

"Amber provides a unique opportunity for market-leading manufacturers to develop the future of electrical products, enabling digital intelligence to be deployed to every stage of the building’s electrical and technical infrastructure, from the main circuit board to the light switch or control System panel," Thar Casey said. "As we and our partners continue to design modern solutions to modern problems, the range of possibilities for intelligent digital control of electricity — and indestructible solid-state AC switches — seems to be almost limitless. This includes the ability to efficiently and easily add Sensors and other IoT components connect to any electrical endpoint. These innovations may enter various types of electrical equipment, from sockets and switches to appliances and lamps."

Before the video was released, Amber recently announced a strategic alliance with Infineon to bring unique products to the market and upgrade the power management architecture of specific product categories, such as smart circuit breakers, light switches and sockets, and newly acquired patents. One of Amber’s core value statements is that the digital control of electricity greatly expands the ability of product designers to add modern features (such as artificial intelligence) to their products, and through the realization of residential and commercial security, commercial fire protection, access control and building automation system.
