Patent number: 11941470Abstract: An electrical device includes an electrical cable and a connector coupled to the electrical cable. The connector is configured to receive electrical current from an external power source. The connector includes an RFID tag, and an electrical storing device configured to store electrical energy from the external power source and provide electrical energy to the RFID tag when the connector is disconnected from the external power source. The RFID tag transmits a signal independent of the connector being coupled to the external power source.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2020Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Hubbell IncorporatedInventors: Michael Williams, Roy Itzler

Patent number: 11831150Abstract: A temporary power delivery system includes a power source, a booth stringer, and a portable GFCI device. The GFCI device is receives current from the power source by a first terminal and delivers current to the booth stringer by a second terminal. An electronic processor of the GFCI device compares a combined magnitude of current flowing through first and second phase conductors of the GFCI device to a magnitude of current flowing through a neutral conductor of the GFCI. The electronic processor also compares a first voltage between the first phase conductor and neutral conductor to a second voltage between the second phase conductor and neutral conductor. A circuit breaker of the GFCI device is opened if a difference between the combined magnitude of phase conductor current and neutral conductor current exceeds a first threshold or a difference between the first voltage and second voltage exceeds a second threshold.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2023Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: Hubbell IncorporatedInventors: Roy Itzler, Nicole Gay
