MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641042251 A) filed by Chennai Institute Of Technology, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on April 2, for 'pulse injection-based earthing monitoring system.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. S. Pavithra; Mr. G. Muthupandi; Mr. P. Deepak; Mrs. Aswathi. KP; M Brindha; Yuvashri K; and Mr. Nandhakumar R.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This invention is called the Pulse Injection-Based Earthing Monitoring System, which is a modern and automated way to continuously check and evaluate electrical grounding systems used in industries, businesses, and important infrastructure. The conventional earthing monitoring is also periodic, reactive, and manual earthing monitoring, which is incapable of detecting early earthing degradation and is a time-consuming earthing monitoring technique. The proposed system overcomes these disadvantages by introducing short-duration electrical pulses to the earthing network and using time-domain reflectometry techniques to measure reflected signals. The deformations in the waveforms, such as reduced amplitude, phase changes, and temporary distortion, indicate flaws like corrosion, increased grounding resistance, conductor discontinuity, and altered soil resistivity. Machine learning algorithms and built-in signal processing accurately identify the type and seriousness of faults, which helps avoid incorrect alerts."
