MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641044005 A) filed by Vimal Sridhar K; Priyadharsan S; Tamizhinban S; and Praveen Kumar H, Salem, Tamil Nadu, on April 6, for 'detection of breakage of low voltage distribution conductors.'
Inventor(s) include Vimal Sridhar K; Priyadharsan S; Tamizhinban S; and Praveen Kumar H.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This project presents a low voltage conductor breakage detection system designed to enhance safety in electrical distribution networks. The system continuously monitors the condition of distribution lines using voltage sensing and environmental detection techniques to identify hazardous situations caused by conductor breakage. A voltage sensor is used to detect sudden drops or fluctuations in line voltage, while a water detection sensor identifies the presence of moisture near the conductor, which can increase the risk of electric shock.The system utilizes a microcontroller to process sensor inputs and implement a fault detection algorithm that confirms conductor breakage based on combined conditions. Upon detection of a fault, the system activates local alert mechanisms such as buzzers and LED indicators to warn nearby individuals. Additionally, communication modules such as RF, Wi-Fi, or GSM are used to transmit fault information to adjacent nodes and the substation for quick response and maintenance.The proposed system ensures real-time monitoring, rapid fault detection, and immediate alert generation, thereby reducing the risk of accidents and improving public safety. Its scalable and cost-effective design makes it suitable for rural and urban electrical distribution networks, as well as smart grid applications."
