US Classification:
340664, 340649, 340657, 3406911, 3408154, 324503, 324509, 324525
Abstract:
A fault indicator for monitoring an electrical conductor has a housing, an indicator flag or a light emitting diode (LED) that becomes visible from the exterior of the fault indicator upon the occurrence of a fault, and electronic circuitry for sensing a fault, for actuating the indicator flag or LED to a fault indicating condition and for resetting the indicator flag or LED to a non-fault indicating condition a predetermined time after the fault has occurred. An overload indicator provides an overload indication, such as a fast flash rate, for a predetermined time when an overload threshold is exceeded, and provides a different overload indication, such as a slow flash rate, for a predetermined time when the line current in the monitored conductor falls below the threshold.

Fault Indicator With Automatically Configured Trip Settings

View page
US Patent:
6894478, May 17, 2005
Filed:
Jun 4, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/454851
Inventors:
Kurt J. Fenske - Gleason WI, US
Assignee:
E.O. Schweitzer Manufacturing Company, Inc. - Mundelein IL
International Classification:
G01R031/00
US Classification:
324127, 324126, 324324, 324117 R
Abstract:
A fault indicator for indicating the occurrence of a fault in an electrical conductor has a housing, a high capacity battery, a display for indicating the occurrence of a fault, a current sensor for sensing the load current in a monitored conductor a microcontroller for determining the load current, for selecting one of a plurality of trip settings, such as in several steps between 50 A and 1200 A, based upon the determined load current and for determining that a fault condition occurred when the load current exceeds the trip setting. The selected trip setting is stored in memory. The load current is periodically sampled and the trip setting is changed if the load current falls in a different range. The display may include permanent and temporary fault indicating LEDs and additional internal LEDs that cause the housing to glow or flash at nighttime, or a target style display may be used. Upon the load current exceeding the trip setting, the microcontroller begins flashing the permanent fault LEDs.

Auto-Calibration Of Multiple Trip Settings In A Fault Indicator

View page
US Patent:
6949921, Sep 27, 2005
Filed:
Jun 4, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/454847
Inventors:
Laurence V. Feight - Island Lake IL, US
Kurt J. Fenske - Gleason WI, US
Assignee:
E.O. Schweitzer Manufacturing Co., LLC - Mundelein IL
International Classification:
G01R019/14
US Classification:
324127, 324126, 324133
Abstract:
A fault indicator for indicating the occurrence of a fault in an electrical conductor has a plurality of trip settings, such as in the range of 50 A to 1200 A, that is automatically calibrated. The fault indicator includes a housing, a battery, an illuminated display, such as LEDs, a current sensor for sensing the load current in the conductor and a microcontroller that receives a current signal from the current sensor to determine the load current. In the calibration mode, a known load current is passed through the conductor, the microcontroller selects the trip level that is related to the load current, determines the load current from the current signal, and sequentially calibrates each of the plurality of trip levels for the respective known load currents. The calibration information is stored in memory. The illuminated display provides a distinctive pattern to indicate that each trip setting has been calibrated.

Targeted Timed Reset Fault Indicator

View page
US Patent:
6963197, Nov 8, 2005
Filed:
May 30, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/449143
Inventors:
Laurence Virgil Feight - Island Lake IL, US
James Manley Duros - Chicago IL, US
Kurt James Fenske - Gleason WI, US
Assignee:
E.O. Schweitzer Manufacturing Co., LLC. - Mundelein IL
International Classification:
G01R019/14
US Classification:
324126, 324117 R, 324133
Abstract:
A fault indicator for indicating the occurrence of a fault in an electrical conductor is reset at a predetermined time after the fault is detected, such as about 4 hours. The fault indicator has a housing, a high capacity battery, a fault sensor, a display for indicating a fault condition, and a programmable controller with a sleep state that draws low quiescent current. As a result the battery is expected to last the lifetime of the fault indicator. The fault indicator may optionally include current inrush restraint and/or voltage inrush restraint to inhibit the controller from activating the display to the fault indicating condition during the inrush conditions. The electromagnetic field about the conductor causes an electrostatic sensor to develop a differential voltage signal between two electrodes of different areas for the voltage inrush restraint circuit. Auxiliary contacts are provided to remotely monitor the fault indicator.

Fault Indicator With Permanent And Temporary Fault Indication

View page
US Patent:
7023691, Apr 4, 2006
Filed:
Jun 4, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/454850
Inventors:
Laurence Virgil Feight - Island Lake IL, US
Kurt James Fenske - Gleason WI, US
Assignee:
E.O. Schweitzer Mfg. LLC - Mundelein IL
International Classification:
G06F 1/16
US Classification:
361681, 324239, 324522
Abstract:
A fault indicator for indicating the occurrence of a fault in an electrical conductor has a housing, a high capacity battery, a permanent fault display for indicating the occurrence of a permanent fault, a temporary fault display for indicating the occurrence of a temporary fault, a current sensor for sensing the load current in a monitored conductor, a microcontroller for determining when a fault condition occurs and for activating the permanent or temporary fault displays. Preferably, each display includes one or more LEDs. Upon detecting a fault, the microcontroller begins flashing the permanent fault LEDs. After a predetermined interval, the microcontroller again senses the load current. If the current is zero, the fault is permanent and the permanent LEDs continue to flash until a timed reset occurs. If the load current is present, the fault is temporary and the temporary LED is flashed until the timed reset.

Microprocessor Controlled Fault Indicator Having High Visibility Led Fault Indication

View page
US Patent:
7053601, May 30, 2006
Filed:
Oct 25, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/280141
Inventors:
Kurt James Fenske - Gleason WI, US
Laurence Virgil Feight - Island Lake IL, US
Assignee:
E.O. Schweitzer Mfg. Co. - Mundelien IL
International Classification:
G01R 19/14
US Classification:
324127
Abstract:
A fault indicator for indicating the occurrence of a fault in an electrical conductor has a housing, a high capacity battery, a plurality of emitting diodes (LEDs) visible from the exterior of the fault indicator upon the occurrence of a fault, and electronic circuitry for sensing a fault, for actuating the LEDs to indicate a fault and to provide a timed reset of the LEDs to a non-fault indicating condition a predetermined time after the fault has occurred. The electronic circuitry, including a microprocessor that is normally in a sleep mode, conserves energy by drawing insubstantial current from a high capacity battery during non-fault conditions. Preferably, the microprocessor controls activation of the fault indicating LEDs with pulse width modulated (PWM) signals during defined time intervals for improved visibility. Visibility is further improved where the PWM signals for the indicator LEDs are interleaved in time to provide a highly distinctive flicker effect. Alternately, if the PWM signal for one LED quickly follows the PWM signal for the other LED, the LED indicators provide a highly distinctive strobe effect.

Fault Indicator With Auto-Configuration For Overhead Or Underground Application

View page
US Patent:
7106048, Sep 12, 2006
Filed:
Jun 4, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/455670
Inventors:
Laurence V. Feight - Island Lake IL, US
Kurt J. Fenske - Gleason WI, US
Assignee:
Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc. - Pullman WA
International Classification:
G01R 19/14
US Classification:
324127, 324133, 340664
Abstract:
A fault indicator for indicating the occurrence of a fault in an electrical conductor is automatically configured for an overhead application or for an underground application. The fault indicator has a housing, a battery, a display for indicating the occurrence of a fault, a current sensor for sensing the load current in a monitored conductor, and electromagnetic field sensor to sense the electromagnetic field about the conductor, and a microcontroller for determining whether a fault condition occurred, for determining the magnitude of the electromagnetic field, and for configuring the fault indicator in the overhead configuration if the electromagnetic field is above a predetermined magnitude or configuring the fault indicator for the underground mode if the field is below the predetermined magnitude. In the overhead configuration, voltage inrush restraint is enabled, the fault response time is set within a range of 1 to 50 ms, and the display is operated in bright or dims modes depending upon ambient lighting levels. In the underground configuration, inrush current restraint is enabled, the fault response time is set within a range of 1 to 24 ms, and the display is operated in only the dim mode.

Apparatus And Method For Programmable Trip Settings In A Faulted Circuit Indicator

View page
US Patent:
7271580, Sep 18, 2007
Filed:
Nov 12, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/988007
Inventors:
Kurt J. Fenske - Gleason WI, US
Laurence V. Feight - Island Lake IL, US
Assignee:
Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc. - Pullman WA
International Classification:
G01R 31/00
US Classification:
324127, 324126, 324117 R
Abstract:
A fault indicator for indicating the occurrence of a fault in an electrical conductor is programmable, such as in the field, by placing a magnet in proximity to the housing of the fault indicator. A data processor senses the changed state of a magnetic switch and, after a predetermined delay, initiates a programming routine to enable selection of one of a plurality of trip settings for the fault indicator. During programming, display LEDs flash once for programming of the first trip setting, twice for setting of the second trip setting, and so forth. Removal of the magnet from proximity to the fault indicator while at the desired trip setting will result in programming of the fault indicator to that trip setting.
