A project run by Eaton and NREL has developed a tool that can detect powerline faults otherwise difficult to detect, enabling utility companies to reduce the chance of both power outages and wildfires ...

This overcurrent fault-detection circuit uses a digital isolator (red) feeding into a non-isolated comparator (green) that will detect an overcurrent fault and disable the gate power drivers.

The California utility invented the AWARE system to mitigate outages, expedite restoration and improve productivity for the ...

Hard semiconductor faults and filter capacitor failures have been widely documented, but these faults usually indicate a failure after a power system has shutdown. The focus of a fault detection ...
