  • Patent number: 11921147
    Abstract: A method for monitoring a polyphase network includes the steps, repeated regularly, of: acquiring voltage measurements taken by voltage sensors of an item of electrical equipment, and producing current values of electrical parameters; accessing a reference table comprising a list of connection configurations each associated with a distinct combination of reference values of said electrical parameters, the list of connection configurations comprising configurations each corresponding to a combination of connection states for each phase (P1, P2, P3) and for the neutral (N); implementing an exploratory algorithm intended to explore the reference table to identify the current connection configuration.

  • Publication number: 20230417808
    Abstract: A method for detecting a break in connection of a neutral of a three-phase electricity network, implemented in a processing unit of an item of electrical equipment connected to the electricity network includes acquiring, at a time T, a first phase voltage (V1), a second phase voltage (V2) and a third phase voltage (V3) measured by voltage sensors of the item of electrical equipment; evaluating a first quantity representative of a ratio between a maximum voltage and a minimum voltage from the first, second and third phase voltages; if the first quantity is greater than a predetermined threshold: evaluating, based on the first, second and third phase voltages, a second quantity; detecting a break in the neutral at the time T when the second quantity satisfies a predetermined reference criterion.
