Description:
OPTICAL POWER FOR ELECTRONIC SWITCHES BACKGROUND Technical Field The present disclosure generally relates to providing optical power for isolation of electric components. Description of the Related Art Several problems are well understood in the operation of inverters (including those that drive Variable Frequency Drives, aka VFDs) and other devices that vary the input frequency and voltage supplied to electric induction motors. These problems include EMI (Electromagnetic Interference), switching speed, size, and other factors. Of particular concern is Electromagnetic Interference. Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is a disturbance generated by an external source that affects an electrical circuit by electromagnetic induction, electrostatic coupling, or conduction. Such a disturbance from an external source may degrade or stop the performance of the circuit. With respect to a data path, these EMI disturbances can range from an increase in error rate to a total loss of the data. Notably, EMI disturbances may be man-made or of natural origin. Changing electrical currents and voltages that can cause EMI includes, by way of example only, and not by way of limitation: ignition systems, cellular network of mobile phones, arc discharges, lightning, solar flares, and auroras. Problems with EMI occur in a broad cross-section of use cases and applications. Problems associated with current VFD designs occur when conductive elements (copper for instance) connect sensitive or critical devices, such as solid state and other switches. Some of the issues created by inverter (e.g., VFD) EMI in inductive motors include (but are not limited to) insulation breakdown, premature motor failure, motor overheating, potential voltage and current spike damage to sensitive control equipment or other unrelated equipment on the same electrical power circuit, and damage to high performance III-V semiconductor switches. EMI also can have significant impact on the internal function and components within the VFD. Transformers and other components have inherent capacitance, which can couple electrical noise from one electrical line to another. Significant research and development has been applied to the increase of high switching speeds applied to inverter design. High switching speeds decrease harmonics and improve output motor performance. Some of these benefits include lowered motor losses, reduced motor heating, reduced output noise, and higher maximum motor speed. However high switching speeds can be limited by the materials used in IGBTs (Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistors). Hence the recent development push to introduce wide bandgap (including III-V) materials to inverter design. Wide Band Gap Semiconductor (WBGS) switches have several benefits over silicon. Those include greater efficiency, and reduced cost, size, and weight. However, inverter switches made from Wide Band Gap Semiconductors (WBGS) are susceptible to EMI. Using SiC (silicon carbide) and GaN (gallium nitride) materials in switches (such as IGBTs) enables higher speed, but devices made using these materials may be more voltage sensitive than traditional (mainly silicon) devices. As an example, a silicon device might operate at 10V but be robust against input voltages up to 30V. But in this example, a GaN device might need 5V but only be robust against inputs up to 6V. The switching harmonics and EMI can potentially create brief voltages that are too high for these (SiC, GaN) devices.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In the following description, certain specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of various aspects of the disclosed subject matter. However, the disclosed subject matter may be practiced without these specific details. In some instances, well-known structures and methods of manufacturing light emitting devices, light sensors, drivers, integrated circuits, and electrical components (e.g., transistors, resistors, capacitors, switches, etc.) have not been described in detail to avoid obscuring the descriptions of other aspects of the present disclosure. Unless the context requires otherwise, throughout the specification and claims that follow, the word “comprise” and variations thereof, such as “comprises” and “comprising,” are to be construed in an open, inclusive sense, that is, as “including, but not limited to.” Reference throughout the specification to “one embodiment” or “an embodiment” means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment. Thus, the appearance of the phrases “in one embodiment” or “in an embodiment” in various places throughout the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same aspect. Furthermore, the particular features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more aspects of the present disclosure. Prior to setting forth the embodiments however, it may be helpful to an understanding thereof to first set forth definitions of certain terms that are used hereinafter. Reference throughout the specification to integrated circuits is generally intended to include integrated circuit components built on semiconducting or glass substrates, whether or not the components are coupled together into a circuit or able to be interconnected. The term power beam is used, in all its grammatical forms, throughout the present disclosure and claims to refer to a high-flux light transmission that may include a field of light, that may be generally directional, that may be arranged for steering/aiming to a suitable receiver. The power beams discussed in the present disclosure include beams formed by high-flux laser diodes or other like sources sufficient to deliver a desirable level of power to a remote receiver without passing the power over a conventional electrical conduit such as wire. In the present disclosure, the term “light,” when used as part of a light- based transmitter or a light-based receiver refers to a transmitter or receiver arranged to produce or capture, as the case may be, electromagnetic radiation that falls within the range of frequencies that can be directed (e.g., reflected, refracted, filtered, absorbed, captured, and the like) by optical or quasi-optical elements, and which is defined in the electromagnetic spectrum spanning from extremely low frequencies (ELF) through gamma rays, and which includes at least ultraviolet light, visible light, long-, mid- and short-wavelength infrared light, terahertz radiation, millimeter waves, microwaves, other visible and invisible light, light beams, and light transmitted within a fiber. A “beam” of light, as that term is used herein, may include both a beam transmitted through free space and a guided beam such as one transmitted through an optical fiber. In the present disclosure, the term “optics” may be used to identify optical elements which may shape, split, reflect, refract, or otherwise modify a light beam. When present in an embodiment, “optics” may identify a single component or multiple components. It is noted that the dimensions set forth herein are provided as examples. Other dimensions are envisioned for this embodiment and all other embodiments of this application. As discussed above, the operation of inverters, including those that drive VFDs, causes problems such as Electromagnetic Interference. Electromagnetic Interference can have significant impact on the internal function and components within a VFD. Transformers have inherent capacitance, which can couple electrical noise from one electrical line to another. A transformer with four separate windings is a design that is generally somewhat large (on the order of four inches on a side). Due to the proximity of the windings to each other, coupling between separate legs of the transformer can occur, which creates EMI / fluctuations that can propagate back through the electronic supply to other powered devices in the same electrical grid, and may also cause problems in the VFD motor itself. The (normally four) separate legs are floating at different voltages relative to each other. These legs may be connected to four separate windings on a transformer, each winding going to a different leg: three for the high voltage ends of the device, and one for the ground voltage end which is common to all three legs of the device. The switching noise may propagate through the windings and to the other legs, as well as back up the input power line. Some of the methods that are currently used to reduce the impact of these problems include creating sufficient distance between internal components to reduce potential inductive coupling between conductive elements, upstream and downstream "filtering" electronics to reduce EMI impacts, physically placing the EMI producing elements a significant distance from the load, special considerations to the cable lengths to and from the load, special construction of motors to reduce bearing damage from EMI, and cable shielding and shielding of components. Although the foregoing modifications mitigate the EMI issues, the modifications do not sufficiently solve the problem of EMI and some even introduce new problems and design challenges. The present disclosure generally relates to power beaming. More particularly, but not exclusively, the present disclosure relates to providing optically- isolated electrical power to multiple, electrically isolated, electrical switches. In one or more embodiments, a laser power beaming system (which can include either the laser beam delivered wirelessly through free space, or delivered through an optical fiber) can deliver multiple, electrically isolated power outputs to power multiple electronic switches with independent, floating voltages. In one or more embodiments, if the optical power is delivered by optical fiber, the optical fiber cable is a dielectric or non-conductive. Some existing high power laser fibers include a conductive wire or shell to indicate that a fiber is plugged in and has not been broken; such cables are not preferred unless there is an adequate gap in the conductive wire or shell to keep the transmitter electrically isolated from the receiver and to keep the power outputs of the receiver electrically isolated from one another. Figure 1 is a laser power beaming system 8 according to an embodiment disclosed herein. In Figure 1, electrical power 10 (which could be direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC), for example from a standard 120V AC outlet) energizes a laser power transmitter 12, which may include one or more laser drivers and one or more lasers. The optical output of the laser(s) is then coupled (often using optics, for example as shown in Figure 2) into an optical transmission medium 14, generally either an optical fiber or free space, positioned at an output of the laser power transmitter 12. In one or more embodiments, the optical fiber is a light guide that constrains light, via total internal reflection, within, for example, a cylindrical path, which may include a circular or other shape cross section. Optical fibers are commonly used in optical telecommunications networks, but are also used to deliver high power laser light from a laser to a working optic. In one or more embodiments, the free space is an optically transparent or semi-transparent medium for sending optical power. Examples of free space include air or other gas, a vacuum, a liquid (e.g., water), and a transparent solid (e.g., a window). A power receiver 16 receives the light via the transmission medium 14. In one or more embodiments, there is no conductive path between the power receiver 16 and the laser power transmitter 12. In one or more embodiments, optics (e.g., lenses, prisms) are provided at the power receiver 16 for conditioning the light, such as by shaping, splitting, reflecting, and/or refracting the light. In one or more embodiments, the power receiver 16 includes photovoltaic (PV) modules (for example, as shown in Figures 3 and 4), which receive the light and, in response, output electric power. A PV module is a set of one or more photovoltaic (PV) cells which are electrically connected and produce a single electrical output. The PV cells in PV modules may be optionally connected to power management and distribution modules (aka PMADs), which might include maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and/or DC/DC converting and regulating electronics (for example, as shown in Figure 3, and without PMADs in Figure 4). As defined herein, a receiver power leg is a PV module, along with maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and/or DC/DC for converting and regulating electronics, which together may be referred to as a PMAD (Power Management and Distribution). In one or more embodiments, the power receiver 16 includes one or more receiver power legs. The electric power generated by the PV modules is provided to a set of drivers which in turn uses the electric power to generate a drive signal that drives the electronic switches. Each PV module and all of the electronics, if any, after it in the power flow direction (for example, an MPPT and/or DC/DC converter) are electrically isolated from the other PV modules and their electronics, such that the switches can float at different voltages relative to each other. Figures 3 and 4 illustrate the power receiver 16 according to embodiments disclosed herein. The power receiver 16 is a converter that converts a light beam emitted from the laser power transmitter 12 into an electrical signal for the drivers 18. The power receiver 16 includes PV modules 32 that are each configured to receive the light emitted from the laser power transmitter 12 through the transmission medium 14, and, in response, output electric power. In one or more embodiments, the electric power output from the PV modules is an electrical signal having electrical characteristics (e.g., amplitude, frequency, power level, etc.) corresponding to an electrical power signal received from the electrical power 10. The electric power generated by the PV modules 32 is provided to the set of drivers 18 which drives the electronic switches 20. As discussed above, in one or more embodiments, each PV module and all of the electronics, if any, after it in the power flow direction (for example, an MPPT and/or DC/DC converter) are electrically isolated from the other PV modules and their electronics, such that the switches 20 can float at different voltages relative to each other. In one or more embodiments, the electrical power output terminals of the power receiver 16 are electrically isolated from each other. Electronic Switching elements may refer to one or more types of transistors, such as FETs (e.g., MOSFET, JFET) and IGBTs, by way of non-limiting example. In one or more embodiments, as shown in Figure 3, the power receiver 16 includes PMADs 34, and PV cells in the PV modules 32 are connected to the PMADs 34. The PMADs 34 are connected to output terminals of the power receiver 16. The PMADs 34 include maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and/or DC/DC converting and regulating electronics. Figure 4 is the power receiver 16 according to another embodiment disclosed herein. In contrast to the embodiment shown in Figure 3, the power receiver 16 in Figure 4 does not include PMADs 34, and the PV cells in the PV modules 32 are directly connected to output terminals of the power receiver 16. As discussed above, in one or more embodiments, each PV module and all of the electronics, if any, are electrically isolated from the other PV modules and their electronics, such that the switches 20 can float at different voltages relative to each other. In one or more embodiments, the electrical power output terminals of the power receiver 16 are electrically isolated from each other. Returning to Figure 1, a switch controller 22 sends the appropriate signals to each of the drivers 18 so that the drivers 18 drive electrical switching elements or switches 20 in the correct manner (for example, at a desired time). The switch controller 22 includes one or more processors, memory, and input/output connections for controlling drivers connected to switches 20. Each of the drivers 18 is electrically coupled to a respective switch 20, and is configured to control an operating state of the respective switch 20 (e.g., drive the respective switch to be in an open/on state or to be in a closed/off state). As an example, the switches 20 may each be controlled to output a substantially sinusoidal electrical waveform having a desired frequency and amplitude, and each waveform may be offset in phase from waveforms generated by other switches 20 of the optically-isolated VFD. In one or more embodiments, the switch controller 22 includes an input for receiving control signals, and is configured to control the drivers 18 to actuate a load based on the control signals. The laser power transmitter 12 may include an electrical power converter, one or more laser drivers, one or more lasers, and a thermal management system to regulate the temperature of the lasers, a laser controller, and optics to shape the light. The thermal management system may be a passive or an active system. An active system may include a chiller or thermoelectric cooler. The laser power transmitter 12 is a converter that converts an electrical power signal received from the electrical power 10 into an optical light beam. In some embodiments, the laser power transmitter 12 includes one laser. Figure 2 shows the laser power transmitter 12 according to an embodiment disclosed herein. The laser power transmitter 12 includes a laser controller 24 configured to control the laser 26 and thermal management system 25, the thermal management system 25 configured to regulate a temperature of the laser power transmitter 12, an electronic (laser) driver 26 configured provide a driving signal to the laser 28 to emit light, the laser 28 itself configured to emit light in response to receiving the driving signal, and optics 30 to shape or otherwise condition the light (e.g., shaping and/or focusing, which may be performed by reflecting and/or refracting the light) for transmission into the transmission medium 14 (or media in some implementations). In one or more embodiments, the light emitted from the laser 28 has optical characteristics (e.g., amplitude, frequency, modulation frequency, power level, and the like) corresponding to an electrical power signal received from the electrical power 10. The laser light emitted by the laser power transmitter 12, more specifically the laser 28, may be split (e.g., via optics) into separate beams before reaching the physically separate PV modules, such that each PV module receives light (for example, as shown in Figure 5). Splitting may be performed in the laser power transmitter, or from one fiber to many fibers (in cases where optical fiber is used), or may be performed in the power receiver. Figure 5 shows a laser light being split into separate beams according to an embodiment disclosed herein. The incident laser light 36 in Figure 5 may be from either free space or an optical fiber. In one or more embodiments, the optical element 38 labeled “optical splitter” is a reflecting element that splits the incident beam into a number of separate beams each directed in approximately radial directions. In one or more embodiments, as shown in Figure 5, the optical element 38 is an N-sided pyramidal mirror (where N is an integer greater than 1). Optical designs other than a pyramidal mirror could be used instead to achieve the same effect. Although a single optical element is shown in Figure 5, any number of optical elements may be used. In one or more embodiments, turning mirrors 40, which may be flat mirrors angled at roughly 45° relative to the incident light direction, are used to redirect the light at roughly a 90° angle towards the PV modules 32. The turning mirrors 40 may be controlled (e.g., by the switch controller 22) to appropriately direct or steer light to one or more corresponding PV modules 32. In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 5, the PV modules 32, the optical splitters 38, and the turning mirrors 40 are positioned on a substrate 41, such as a Printed Circuit Board (PCB). Figures 6A and 6B show embodiments of receiver optics, in a case where an optical fiber is a light source (e.g., in a cases where the transmission medium 14 is an optical fiber). Figure 6A shows receiver optics according to an embodiment disclosed herein. In the embodiment shown in Figure 6A, light emitted from the laser power transmitter 12 is emitted via an optical fiber 42 (e.g., the transmission medium 14 is an optical fiber), and a lens 44 or other optical element is used to collimate the divergent light from the optical fiber 42. The optical splitter 38, which in this case is represented as an N-sided pyramidal mirror, splits the approximately collimated light out radially, towards PV modules 32 (for example, as shown in figure 5). In one or more embodiments, the lens 44 is included in the power receiver. Figure 6B shows receiver optics according to another embodiment disclosed herein. In Figure 6B, light emitted from the laser power transmitter 12 is emitted via an optical fiber 42 (e.g., the transmission medium 14 is an optical fiber). However, in contrast to the embodiment shown in Figure 6A, a lens is not used to collimate the divergent light from the optical fiber 42. Instead, the light is transmitted to the optical splitter 38 though free space. In this embodiment, the optical splitter 38 operates to both split and shape (for example, by collimating) the light received, in this example provided by a concave shape to each segment of the N-sided pyramidal mirror. By shaping the light, the optical element (shown as a lens) in Figure 6A is eliminated, its functionality having been incorporated into the optical splitter. While the example shown uses reflective methods, other methods of splitting the light could be used, for example refractive methods, or a combination of methods. In one or more embodiments, the PV modules 32 are all on a single Printed Circuit Board (PCB) (or direct bonded copper (DBC), or other “board”), as shown, for example, in Figures 3 and 4. The individual PV cells may have encapsulant or other insulating material on the connecting electrical wires to reduce the possibility of electrical discharge or corona connecting to them. Each PV module is physically separated from the other PV modules (and from the electrical wiring) by a distance adequate to prevent electrical arcing between the relative voltages in the application, or other electrical interference. The single PCB has multiple, electrically-isolated outputs. In one or more embodiments, the laser power transmitter 12 includes more than one laser. In these embodiments, the light emitted from an individual laser may be directed to an individual PV module 32. Figure 7 shows the laser power transmitter 12 and the power receiver 16 according to another embodiment disclosed herein. In the embodiment shown in Figure 7, the laser power transmitter 12 includes a plurality of lasers 28, and the power receiver 16 includes a plurality of PV modules 32. In one or more embodiments, a total number of lasers 28 in the laser power transmitter 12 is equal to a total number of PV modules 32 in the power receiver 16; and each of the lasers 28 transmit light onto a respective PV module 32. For example, as shown in Figure 7, each of the two lasers 28 transmits light onto a respective PV module 32. Although two lasers and two PV modules are shown in Figure 7, the laser power transmitter 12 may include any number of lasers, and the power receiver 16 may include any number of PV modules. In one or more embodiments, the light travels directly from the laser to the PV module – for example, in cases where the beam divergence, PV size, and laser- to-PV spacing is such that no significant amount of light would be wasted and a high degree of energy transfer is achieved (e.g., greater than 95% optical efficiency). In another embodiment, the light from the laser may be collimated or otherwise shaped by one or more optical elements in order to project the light such that no significant amount of light is wasted at each PV module. In one or more embodiments, a plurality of lasers may be implemented such that each of the lasers correspond to a separate PV module. In some embodiments, each laser may have its own fiber to go to its own PV module. The laser light might travel directly from the laser to the PV module without additional optical elements. For example, Figure 8A is a laser and a PV module according to an embodiment disclosed herein. In the embodiment shown in Figure 8A, the laser 28 emits light directly from the laser 28 to the PV module 32. Optical elements are not positioned between the laser 28 and the PV module 32. In one or more embodiments, one or more optical elements are used to shape the laser light (for example, collimating it). For example, Figure 8B is a laser and a PV module according to another embodiment disclosed herein. In the embodiment shown in Figure 8B, the laser 28 emits light from the laser 28, through an optical element 46 (e.g., the lens 44), and to the PV module 32. In one or more embodiments, the optical element 46 collimates light transmitted from the laser 28. In one or more embodiments, the laser power transmitter 12 and the power receiver 16 is jointly enclosed in a single housing. In some of these embodiments, the housing and any other materials that create a physical connection from the transmitter to the receiver would be non-conductive (e.g., electrically insulating). The transmitter and receiver may be sufficiently spaced apart to prevent electrical arcing or corona at the expected operating conditions. In one or more embodiments, light that has been split into multiple beams impinge directly on PV modules 32 that are oriented to catch the light, instead of relying on turning mirrors as shown, for example, in Figure 5. In these embodiments, the PV modules 32 may be mounted on the carrier board (e.g., PCB) such that the PV modules 32 have a surface oriented transversely (e.g., perpendicular) to a surface of the main board plane. Figure 9 shows an example of this type of embodiment. Figure 9 shows a laser light being split into separate beams according to an embodiment disclosed herein. Similar to the embodiment shown in Figure 5, laser light 36 is directed towards the optical element 38, which then splits the incident last light into a number of separate beams. However, in contrast to the embodiment shown in Figure 5, turning mirrors are not used to redirect the separate beams on to the PV modules 32. Instead, PV modules 32 are mounted on their own substrates 48 or sub- boards that extend from the surface of the substrate 41 or PCB main board and that are in turn mounted on the main board (PCB). In one or more embodiments, the substrate 41 extends in a first direction, and the substrates 48 extend in a second direction transverse to the first direction. Accordingly, the split beams impinge directly on to the PV modules 32. The PV modules 32 include one or more photovoltaic cells. In one or more embodiments, a PV module 32 includes a single PV cell per module. In another embodiment, each of the PV modules 32 includes multiple PV cells. In one or more embodiments, the output voltage range of PV cells might be adequate to directly power a device, such as a driver and switch. In one or more embodiments, the PV cell output might be managed by a Maximum Power Point Tracker (MPPT) to extract maximum power. In one or more embodiments, the output (with or without an MPPT) of the PV cell is converted and/or regulated by a DC/DC converter to match the desired electrical characteristics (e.g., voltage level, frequency, waveform) for operating (e.g., powering) a device coupled to the driver and switch (e.g., VFD). Figures 10A and 10B illustrate a laser power beaming system 8 according to another embodiment disclosed herein. In this embodiment, control signals from the switch controller 22 for all of the drivers 18 are multiplexed by a multiplexer 50 into a data stream that is transmitted using the laser power transmitter 12 as discussed above by modulating the laser 28 (for example, by varying the light intensity) in such a way that is detectable at the power receiver 16 and can be decoded by a demultiplexer 52. In one or more embodiments, shown in Figure 10A the multiplexer 50 selects a control signal from the control signals from the switch controller 22. The demultiplexer 52 then routes the control signals to each of the drivers 18. In one or more other embodiments, shown in Figure 10B the multiplexer 50 selects a control signal from the control signals from the switch controller 22. Multiple demultiplexers 52 then each route a control signal to a respective driver 18. In one or more different embodiments (not shown), multiple multiplexers 50 (each having a laser) each select a control signal from the switch controller 22. The multiple multiplexers 50 send their respective control signals to multiple demultiplexers 52 that each route a control signal to a respective driver 18. In other embodiments, if multiple lasers are used separately for each receiver power leg (as shown, for example, in Figure 7), the controller data for a specific driver may be multiplexed with the power for that specific receiver power leg. In one or more embodiments, a receiver power leg is a PV module, along with maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and/or DC/DC converting and regulating electronics, which together may be referred to as a PMAD (Power Management and Distribution), if any, and the electrical power output terminal or connector. In one or more embodiments, the power receiver 16 includes one or more receiver power legs. Figures 11A and 11B show examples of the wiring for drivers and switches for the laser power beaming system 8. Figure 11A is a driver and a switch according to an embodiment disclosed herein. In Figure 11A, two power receivers 16 are shown. One of the power receivers 16 is set or referenced to voltage level A, and the other of the power receivers 16 is set or referenced to voltage level B. In one or more embodiments, the voltage level A and the voltage level B are equal to each other. In one or more embodiments, the voltage level A and the voltage level B are different voltage levels. The power receivers 16 provide power to independent channels within the driver 18 (which may be an IC), which each drive a separate electronic switch 20. The switch controller 22 provides one or more control signals to the driver 18 that determines when each switch 20 is being turned on or off. In one or more embodiments, the lower voltage from each of the power receivers 16 (labeled with a “–“ symbol in Figure 11A) may be referenced to the lower voltage side of the switch 20 that corresponds to that power receiver 16. The load 54 may be any type of load, component, or device electrically coupled to the switches 20. In one or more embodiments, the switches 20 actuate and operate the load 54. Figure 11B is drivers and switches according to another embodiment disclosed herein. In Figure 11B, a possible configuration is shown for an inverter type application (for example, a variable frequency drive). In this embodiment, three “legs” of the inverter (each leg corresponding to one driver 18) operate at different voltages relative to each other, and so three electrically isolated power receivers 16 provide power for each driver (the switches and other connections, such as the switch controller inputs, are not shown in Figure 11B but are similar to what is shown in Figure 11A). Since the lower voltage end of each inverter leg all go to the same voltage (in this case, the power receiver 16 labeled as Voltage B is referenced to this lower output voltage, and which may be ground), a single power receiver 16 is provided to power the lower voltage side of all three drivers. Photovoltaic cells disclosed herein may be single junction, double junction, or higher-number multi-junction type of cells. The junctions can be stacked vertically or arranged adjacent horizontally. The output open circuit voltage and maximum power point voltage of a PV cell is approximately the respective voltage of a single junction multiplied by the total number of junctions. The open circuit voltage of a single junction depends on the type of photovoltaic material and other design factors, but may be in the range of 0.6V – 1.2V in some applications. The receiver power legs disclosed herein may be physically spaced apart from each other, and may also have encapsulant or other insulation. These features facilitate isolation between different receiver power legs and may prevent electrical arcing, corona, or other electromagnetic interference between the legs. In different applications, the difference in electric signals transmitted through separate receiver power legs depends on the desired application. Voltage difference between legs may be hundreds of volts, for example 220V, 500V, 1,000V, several thousand volts, or other voltage differences. The configuration of the VFD, such as the number of receiver power legs, may depend on the type of device to be connected to an output of the optically- isolated drivers and switches. In some embodiments, the VFD may be configured to operate smaller devices having a single input and that consume less than one kilowatt of power (e.g., single phase motor). In some embodiments, the VFD may be configured to operate more substantial devices having a plurality of inputs and consuming greater than one kilowatt of power (e.g., three-phase motors). In some embodiments, each receiver power legs may have voltage and/or current sensors which may provide feedback to the switching controller for error correction, controlling timings between outputs, and the like.
