  • Patent number: 11204395
    Abstract: A module for detecting an electrical fault includes a housing; a first conductor and a second conductor; a first measurement toroid, positioned around the first conductor and around the second conductor, for measuring a differential current flowing between the first and second conductors; a second measurement toroid, positioned around the first conductor, for detecting an electric arc signal flowing through this conductor; a relay; an electronic processing circuit configured to switch the relay according to the current measured by the measurement toroids. The measurement toroids are aligned with one another and the first toroid takes the shape of an elongated tube and allows the differential protection to operate with its own current.

  • Patent number: 9423435
    Abstract: An electric power metering device which includes a current sensor, an electronic measurement and rectifier circuit, a processing circuit and a transmitter connected to the processing circuit to transmit power messages to an electric power measurement receiver. An electric current integration capacitor is connected to the current sensor via a rectifier circuit. A switch is commanded by a threshold detector to supply to the processing circuit and the transmitter power accumulated in the capacitor when its electric voltage has exceeded a predefined voltage threshold. A power message representative of a quantity of electric power is then transmitted. A power metering method includes transmission of a power message when a capacitor voltage has reached a voltage threshold.
