MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641049726 A) filed by Sonjib Banerjee, Bengaluru, Karnataka, on April 18, for 'system and method for continuous monitoring of grounding riser integrity and tamper detection.'
Inventor(s) include Sonjib Banerjee.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A system and method for the continuous, non-intrusive monitoring of grounding integrity in live electrical installations are disclosed. The system includes a plurality of grounding risers and a sensing module configured to inject a high-frequency test signal (300 Hz-2 kHz) into the risers while the installation remains energized. A processing unit derives an instantaneous high-frequency impedance (Rsins) and leakage current (ILCins) by filtering out grid-frequency leakage voltage (VLC) from a measured composite voltage (VLCI). A monitoring system evaluates integrity by mapping measurements to grid-frequency equivalents (Rmins) using a relational scaling function. The system further incorporates acoustic sensors and microphones to detect physical tampering, triggering a specific impedance measurement (Rtamper) and alarm. The architecture supports local alerts and centralized longitudinal trend analysis for predictive maintenance, ensuring electrical safety and asset security without interrupting grounding functionality."
