MUMBAI, India, Aug. 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641095729 A) filed by Tucker Motors Private Limited on August 05, 2026, for A Smart Remote Control And Protection Unit For Dc Fast Chargers With Multi-Sensor Monitoring And Autonomous Thermal Management.
Inventor includes Mohanraj P.
The application for the patent was published on August 14, 2026, under issue no. 33/2026.
Abstract: ABSTRACT The present invention relates to a smart embedded monitoring, protection, and control unit for DC fast electric vehicle charging stations. More particularly, the invention provides an integrated controller capable of continuously monitoring electrical, environmental, and operational parameters while simultaneously performing redundant energy measurement independent of the utility electricity meter. The invention incorporates AC energy metering and DC energy metering to provide continuous energy measurement and validation of charging sessions. In the event of failure, communication loss, or inaccurate readings from the utility electricity meter, the invention independently records energy consumption to maintain uninterrupted charger operation and accurate billing records. The controller integrates multiple sensing modules including phase voltage monitoring, line voltage monitoring, current measurement, cabinet temperature sensing, ambient temperature sensing, smoke detection, door status monitoring, ambient light sensing, phase sequence detection, communication signal strength monitoring, and charger fault diagnostics. The system employs an ESP32 microcontroller for intelligent processing and communication while utilizing an RS-485 communication processor for reliable acquisition of data from industrial sensors and energy meters. The controller enables remote monitoring, fault diagnostics, alarm notification, and remote restart of the charging station. A local LED display provides real-time visualization of electrical parameters, environmental conditions, network status, and fault information. The invention improves charging station reliability, reduces maintenance costs, enables predictive maintenance, minimizes downtime, and ensures continuous energy monitoring even during utility meter malfunction, thereby enhancing operational efficiency and safety of DC fast charging infrastructure.
