Inventor(s) include Shaikh, Usufe; Yadav, Vinaykumar; and Tandon, Garima.
The application for the patent was published on Oct. 31, under issue no. 44/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure relates to a system (100) for monitoring a circuit breaker, the system includes an electronic trip unit (ETU) (104) configured to evaluate status of the circuit breaker (102) for detecting making current release (MCR). The electronic trip unit is configured to determine transition status of the circuit breaker, indicating the transition from OFF to ON state through a high pulse during hold time for position change status. The ETU determine previous status of the circuit breaker by storing the previous status of the circuit breaker for a delay in fault reoccurrence time and determine the present status of the circuit breaker by evaluating the runtime position of the circuit breaker. The ETU senses the fault and determines to either withstand the fault for a user-set delay time or initiate an immediate trip within one cycle of fault occurrence."
