Abstract:
A system and apparatus that provides detection, annunciation, mitigation, and alleviation of stress attacks by executing algorithms based on measurement of intensity of transmitted light. The system determines to execute algorithms to take programmed action based on potential effects of a detected stress attack. The system can be used, for example, to determine the position of potential attacks to conduits that transport electricity, oil, gas, foodstuffs, water, people, and materials.
Abstract:
A system for protection from fires and electrical shock of components used in construction of electrical systems is disclosed using a sensing degree of characteristic before an arc fault, with the purpose to detect, annunciate, and remove the hazard before an electrical are occurs. The present application teaches a device installed in, or proximal to, electrical connectivity to provide protection from unsafe conditions that can result in an electrical are fault in a PV or other electrical connectivity.
Abstract:
A method, apparatus, and system for protection from fires and electrical shock of components used in construction of electrical conduits is disclosed using non-electrical means to disrupt flow of electricity before an arc fault, with the purpose to disrupt flow of current before risk of arcing. The purpose of this invention is to remove the hazard before an electrical arc occurs.
Abstract:
A system for autonomous protection from fires and electrical shock of components used in construction of photovoltaic arrays. The system detects conditions that left unattended result in conflagration of combustible materials and unwanted electrification. The system provides an active control mechanism that operates to take defective components off line and thus provide protection from fire and electrification hazards that otherwise could arise. The system also provides for annunciation and notification when actions are taken. The system can be used to determine that a photovoltaic (PV) module is at risk of conflagration of its flammable structural elements due to intense heat of plasma produced by a direct current (DC) arc at a point in the grid of conductors that collect and carry current from photovoltaic cells exposed to solar irradiation.
