  • Patent number: 11946982
    Abstract: A transformer monitoring device has one or more voltage sensors and/or one or more current sensors integral with a housing for detecting a voltage of a power cable of a transformer. The transformer monitoring device can be configured to monitor voltage levels, and cause alerts to be issued if voltage levels drop and/or spike beyond operator-established tolerance(s).

  • Publication number: 20220161075
    Abstract: A fire mitigation and/or public safety event detection device has a housing having a cavity and a plurality of varying sensors coupled within the cavity of the housing, and/or coupled to, or somehow connected or interfaced with the housing. The device and/or system further has a processor configured to determine, based upon outputs from the sensors, whether there is a fire/wildfire event or a public safety event or associated conditions. The processor is further configured to transmit data indicative of the sensors and alerts related to the fire event and/or the public safety event and/or associated conditions to one or more computing device(s) of utility personnel, authorized third parties, and/or first responders. An aggregated deployment of such fire mitigation and public safety event detection devices serves to create a web or network, thereby serving as a watchdog system within the associated deployment area(s).

  • Publication number: 20210116517
    Abstract: A transformer monitoring device has one or more voltage sensors and/or one or more current sensors integral with a housing for detecting voltage and/or current of a power cable of a transformer. The transformer monitoring device can be configured to monitor voltage data, current data, voltage imbalance, phase angle, outage detection and restoration detection, and/or transformer temperature changes, etc., and cause alerts to be issued directly and/or by a remote central computing device if voltage levels drop and/or spike beyond operator-established tolerance(s), and/or if transformer temperature changes occur outside of operator-established tolerance(s), and/or if a power outage or power restoration occurs, and/or if voltage imbalance occurs, along with additional alert messaging capabilities to be provided by the transformer monitoring device where utility operator personnel would find value.

  • Patent number: 10852362
    Abstract: A transformer monitoring system has one or more monitoring devices coupled to respective distribution transformers, the monitoring devices each comprising a network device and monitors operational data of their respective distribution transformer and performs a monitoring device action based upon the operational data monitored, the monitoring device further transmits data corresponding to the distribution transformers being monitored. The system further has a central computing device communicatively coupled to the monitoring device via the network device and a processor resident on the central computing device that receives the operational data corresponding to the distribution transformers being monitored, interprets the received data, and performs an action based upon the transformer data.

  • Patent number: 10761147
    Abstract: A monitoring system has one or more voltage sensors configured integral in a single housing for detecting a voltage of a power cable of a transformer and one or more current sensors integral in the single housing configured for detecting a current in the power cable of a transformer. Further, the monitoring sensor has at least one internal sensor integral with the voltage sensor and the current sensor, the internal sensor configured for detecting operational data corresponding to the distribution transformer and a processor configured to receive operational data indicative of the detected operational value and perform an action based upon the operational data received.
