Patent ID: 8378822

Claim:
A cable theft monitoring system, configured to protect electrical cables from theft during non-operation hours, comprising: a) a power circuit, configured to provide power; b) a motor coil configured to receive and utilize power; c) a power supply line, functionally coupled between the power circuit and the motor coil and configured to facilitate power conduction through the motor coil; d) a sensor module functionally coupled to the power supply line and configured to monitor a characteristic of the power supply line; e) an onsite control module, functionally coupled to the sensor module and configured to provide onsite controls to the cable theft monitoring system; f) an isolation module, functionally coupled to the power supply line configured to isolate the sensor module from strong power sources; g) a communication module, functionally coupled to the sensor module and configured to transmit information regarding the sensor module; and h) a network module, in communication with the communication module, configured to receive information regarding the sensor module; wherein the sensor module further includes a security module configured to send an alarm notification to an off-site administration module through a network to alert of a missing electrical connection; wherein the isolation module includes a set of oppositely configured relays disposed within signal lines and main control lines such that operational control of the power module is disabled when the signal module is in operation.
