Inventors include Ms. Rupali Balabantaraya; Dr. Aditi Chatterjee; and Prof. Captain Mrutyunjaya Mohapatra.
The application for the patent was published on October 23, 2026, under issue no. 43/2026.
Abstract: An integration of an automotive-grade safety controller and a condition monitoring device for a marine 6.6 kV auto transformer is disclosed. The system includes a smart sensor box built around an ESP32 microcontroller, interfaced with current, voltage, vibration, temperature, humidity and ultrasonic sensors that continuously sense operating parameters of the transformer. The sensed data is transmitted wirelessly through an inbuilt Wi-Fi module to a remote server and dashboard, enabling engineers to monitor the live health condition from the engine room or main office. An artificial intelligence module analyses the data to detect anomalies and predict developing faults, while the automotive-grade safety controller initiates alarms, trip or shutdown commands when hazardous thresholds are exceeded. The unit interfaces with a ship power management system for automated load control and is housed in a ruggedized enclosure suited to high humidity, salt corrosion, vibration and temperature fluctuations. The invention thereby reduces catastrophic transformer failures, supports predictive maintenance and improves the safety and reliability of shipboard power distribution. The arrangement gives early warning to the crew and reduces unplanned outages during extended voyages at sea.
