  • Patent number: 6631063
    Abstract: A system for supplementing existing safety devices in light circuits by real-time monitoring of current and voltage levels in light circuits to diagnose and pinpoint problems in the circuit, and to activate a safety disconnect in the event hazardous conditions are detected. The system includes a monitor device electrically coupled to a light circuit service panel. The monitor device includes a switching means complementary to an existing disconnect means operable to independently disconnect a light circuit from a power source, and input means for collecting real-time data from a plurality of circuits. The input means includes a means for detecting unequal current levels in the light circuits, a means for continuous surveillance of ground wire continuity for each light circuit, and means for continuous sensing of the current and voltage levels in each light circuit.
