  • Publication number: 20210247435
    Abstract: An electrical grid system including a phase conductor, a neutral conductor, and a neutral-to-ground conductor configured to conduct current flow between the neutral conductor and a ground. The electrical grid system further includes a fault detection sensor including a current sensor configured to sense current flowing along the neutral-to-ground conductor. The fault detection sensor further includes a controller having an electronic processor that is configured to receive signals indicative of the current flowing through the neutral-to-ground conductor from the current sensor, monitor the received signals for an occurrence of an event associated with the current flowing along the neutral-to-ground conductor; and output an occurrence of a fault in the electrical grid system based on detecting occurrence of the event.

  • Patent number: 7180517
    Abstract: A method of providing a graphic display (SD) of an electrical distribution network (N) to provide network personnel insight as to network operation comprising. A segment of the network is monitored to obtain information about predetermined types of incidents which occur. The information is then processed to ascertain where the incidents occurred and the number of incidents which occur over a predetermined period of time. The results are presented in a graphical display which includes the number of incidents occurring at each location within the network segment, and the number of incidents which occurred at each location during previous period of time at the respective locations.
