Patent number: 11959946Abstract: A system for the verification of the absence of voltage has a first series of resistors and a first voltage limiter connected between a power line and a first voltage sensor and such as to limit a sensed voltage to a set amount above a threshold set by a standard and a first series of LC resonance filters connected between the power line and a RF signal generator. The system also has a second series of resistors and a second voltage limiter connected between the power line and a second voltage sensor and a second series of LC resonance filters connected between the power line and an RF signal detector. The system is configured to detect continuity to the voltage line by sending an RF signal generated by the RF signal generator through the first lead line and detecting it at the RF signal detector via the second lead line.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2021Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Panduit Corp.Inventors: Masud Bolouri-Saransar, Walid Balid

Patent number: 11946954Abstract: A system and method for detecting the connectivity of an absence of voltage detector to the source of power to be detected has a first terminal wire connected to a first terminal and a second terminal wire also connected to the first terminal. An RF signal is placed on the first terminal and then its presence is detected on the second signal wire. This method and system can also be placed on each phase of a three phase system.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2021Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Inventors: Walid Balid, Masud Bolouri-Saransar

Patent number: 11921146Abstract: A method of detecting a fault in a power distribution system includes placing a signal on the system at a frequency F1 and then detecting a change in the signal due to a change in the impedence of the system as a result of a fault wherein the change is one of a change in phase, a change in signal tone, or a change in voltage level at the load. In one embodiment, band reject filters can be used to diminish the signal at the load or source. In another embodiment, the power source can be a periodic pulsed power source and the signal can be placed on the system during an idle phase of the periodic pulsed power.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Panduit Corp.Inventors: Ronald A. Nordin, Masud Bolouri-Saransar, Paul W. Wachtel

Publication number: 20230378741Abstract: A high voltage pulse power delivery system is provided that includes dedicated safety features including fault detection and fault management. Alongside normal communications cabling, the pulse power delivery system provides remote power over standard multi-conductor cabling without dedicated conduit or separation. This simplifies installation of equipment, increases overall speed of deployment, and significantly reduces cost for deployment. The pulse power delivery system is further configured to transport power through a pulse current waveform.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 15, 2023Publication date: November 23, 2023Applicant: Panduit Corp.Inventors: Masud Bolouri-Saransar, William W. Kidd, Walid Balid

Publication number: 20230377773Abstract: Cable foil tape having random or pseudo-random patterns or long pattern lengths of discontinuous metallic shapes and a method for manufacturing such patterned foil tape are provided. In some embodiments, a laser ablation system is used to selectively remove regions or paths in a metallic layer of a foil tape to produce random distributions of randomized shapes, or pseudo-random patterns or long pattern lengths of discontinuous shapes in the metal layer. In some embodiments, the foil tape is double-sided, having a metallic layer on each side of the foil tape, and the laser ablation system is capable of ablating nonconductive pathways into the metallic layer on both sides of the foil tape.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 1, 2023Publication date: November 23, 2023Applicant: Panduit Corp.Inventors: Royal O. Jenner, Timothy J. Houghton, II, Masud Bolouri-Saransar, Ronald A. Nordin

Publication number: 20230296695Abstract: A permanently installed absence of voltage tester (AVT) may include a connectivity verification system for verifying the connectivity of system cable leads to the main power lines in electrical equipment. An installed AVT may indicate whether the electrical equipment is in an electrically safe state without first requiring direct access to the equipment. One step in the AVT test procedure may include connectivity verification by the connectivity verification system, which may include a sub-procedure to confirm that the installed AVT is directly coupled as intended with direct connection to the equipment being monitored. The connectivity verification system may validate that the AVT is measuring the actual voltage on the power lines of the electrical equipment and has not registered a no-voltage condition due to an unknown disconnection error or installation failure.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 16, 2023Publication date: September 21, 2023Applicant: Panduit Corp.Inventors: Walid Balid, Masud Bolouri-Saransar
