  • Gas density monitoring system
    Patent number: 9362071
    Abstract: A circuit breaker monitoring system may monitor both at least one gas characteristic of a gas surrounding the circuit breaker and at least one fault arc energy characteristic. The monitored characteristics may be used to forecast maintenance events. The monitored characteristics may be used to control the operation of the circuit breaker.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 2, 2012
    Date of Patent: June 7, 2016
    Assignee: Franklin Fueling Systems, Inc.
    Inventors: Randall Boucher, Vitaliy Demin, James A. Webber, John Eastman, Christopher D. Farrar
  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ELECTRICALLY INDICATING A GAS CHARACTERISTIC
    Publication number: 20140130575
    Abstract: An apparatus for generating a signal representing one of the density and the pressure of gas within a high voltage circuit breaker based on a dial position of a pressure switch includes a clip configured to mechanically couple to the dial, the clip including a magnet, and lens assembled into the switch between the switch housing and an outer component of the switch. The lens includes a sensor positioned within a cavity of the lens in alignment with the clip magnet to detect the position of the pressure switch dial from a magnetic orientation of the magnet, and circuitry for converting the detected position into an electric signal.
