MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641022298 A) filed by Sri Sai Ram Engineering College, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Feb. 25, for 'real time power line fault detection and insulator condition monitoring with automated alert mechanism.'
Inventor(s) include Sruthl R; Daranya R; Adelin Dona E; and Ms. Surya S.
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: "The proposed system relates to a real-time power line fault detection and insulator condition monitoring system with an automated alert mechanism for enhancing transmission network reliability and safety. The system employs voltage and current sensing units interfaced with a microcontroller-based processing platform to continuously monitor transmission line parameters and classify electrical faults including Line-to-Ground (LG), Line-to-Line (LL), Double Line-to-Ground (DLG), and Three-Phase faults under real-time operating conditions. In addition to electrical fault detection, the invention integrates an artificial intelligence-based visual inspection module utilizing a deep learning object detection model such as You Only Look Once - YOL0v8 to identify insulator defects including cracks, breakage, and structural damage. Upon detection of any abnormalities in the voltage values the system automatically generates alerts for prompt operator intervention. This fault classification system supports preventive maintenance, reduces manual inspection requirements, and improves overall power system efficiency and operational safety."
