MUMBAI, India, June 19 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202617058030 A) filed by S&c Electric Company on May 07, 2026, for Lateral Fault Isolation.
Inventors include Meisinger, Michael John; Gray, Richard; Higginson, Michael J.; and Bishop, Martin T..
The application for the patent was published on June 05, 2026, under issue no. 23/2026.
Abstract: A system and method for providing fault isolation in a power distribution network. The network includes a power line, a recloser coupled to the power line and a plurality of switching devices coupled to the power line downstream of the recloser, where each switching device is capable of detecting fault current in response to the fault and detecting presence of voltage. In one non-limiting embodiment, the method includes detecting overcurrent, loss of voltage and return of voltage by the switching devices and includes sequentially opening and closing switching devices from the recloser to a switching device immediately upstream of the fault in response to detecting overcurrent, loss of voltage and return of voltage.
