  • Patent number: 12578399
    Abstract: The present application provides a method for monitoring a through fault current. The method may involve: detecting a through fault; calculating an electrical stress, peak current, and duration of the through fault; determining two sets of percentage state changes associated with the through fault; assigning a respective set of weights and criticalities to each set of percentage state changes; calculating a mechanical state change based on the first set of percentage state changes and the first set of weights and criticalities; calculating a thermal state change based on the second set of percentage state changes and the second set of weights and criticalities; calculating a cumulative state change based on the mechanical and thermal state changes; and training a machine learning model using the electrical stress, peak current, duration, two sets of percentage state changes, and mechanical, thermal, and cumulative state changes.

  • Publication number: 20060125239
    Abstract: Electric power generation (EPG) arrangements, such as generator sets for example, can be constructed with many different configurations depending on customer needs. Variations in the configuration include the placement of a circuit panel relative to a generator and the length of the generator. Multiple different electrical power transmission cabling arrangements are traditionally required to accommodate multiple circuit panel/generator configurations. This disclosure relates to an electrical power generation arrangement that include a cabling guide that is positionable, as by rotation for example, in one of a plurality of rotary positions relative to the generator. The cabling guide is positioned in a selected rotary position based on the position of the circuit panel relative to the generator or the length of the generator or both. A cabling conduit can be connected between the guide and the circuit panel.
