  • Electric circuit protection system and method for protecting an electric circuit
    Patent number: 8587912
    Abstract: An electric circuit protection system includes a control module and a circuit sensor communicatively coupled with the control module. The control module is communicatively coupled with a switch that is joined with a circuit having a power source and a fuse. The control module is configured to monitor a degradation factor related to an energy threshold value of the fuse and direct the switch to open the circuit to prevent the power source from supplying current through the fuse. The circuit sensor is configured to measure an energy parameter of the current supplied by the power source through the circuit or that is demanded by a load from the power source. The control module is configured to direct the switch to open the circuit based on the energy threshold value and the energy parameter.
