Abstract:
The disclosed invention mitigates unnecessary electric utility and first responder intervention in the event of a downed electrical cable that may not present a voltage hazard. The disclosed downed power line status indicator invention serves to protect the public while increasing the ability to repair lines damaged due to an unplanned natural calamity or other incident. In the preferred embodiment, the invention can capture the status of a downed line and if it is energized, provide a local visual and audible alarm of hazardous conditions to anyone in the vicinity of the downed line. In addition, the invention can generate a message or notification sent to the utility's operations center. In addition, the disclosed invention perch of the disclosed invention affords capability to capture, store, and disseminate data relating to natural or man-made disasters, RF transmissions, GPS and other navigational data, and for commercial data collection, storage, and dissemination.

Claim (Index 1):
A system for the standoff detection of power line hazards comprising:\n a ferrite core having a window, a power line to be monitored passing through the window and forming a first winding, a second winding passing through the window and having a first and second terminal, a low pass filter coupled to the second winding and outputting a filtered electrical signal, a full wave rectifier means coupled to the filtered electrical signal to provide charging current for a backup battery and to provide a filtered bus voltage source, an RMS to DC converter having a first input connected to the bridge rectifier first input and a second input connected to the bridge rectifier second input, the signal at the rectifier first terminal and second input terminal being characterized as a filtered electrical signal being coupled to the RMS to DC converter inputs, the RMS to DC converter processing the filtered electrical signal to provide a DC signal, a MICRO CONTROLLER having a first and second input coupled to receive the DC signal, the MICRO CONTROLLER being programmed to identify a plurality of electrical states and to provide an output for each electrical state identified, and a SENSOR PACKAGE containing a plurality of sensors selected from a group comprising:\n an electrical field detector; \n an angular, shock, or motion detector; \n an MEMS accelerometer; and a \n a three axis spatial attitude detector; \n the SENSOR PACKAGE BEING CHARACTERIZED to provide discrete outputs to,\n a COMMUNICATIONS MODULE, the communications module being coupled to receive the discrete outputs from the SENSOR PACKAGE and to output discrete alarm signals identifying the defect to a communications link to a responsible service center.
