MUMBAI, India, June 22 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621049306 A) filed by General Industrial Controls Private Limited on April 17, 2026, for System And Method For Current-Sensing Based Protection Of Output Circuits In Industrial Automation Devices.
Inventors include Yadav, Rakeshkumar Yogendra; Gautame, Ajinkya Avinash; and Kulkarni, Rushikesh Chandrakant.
The application for the patent was published on June 12, 2026, under issue no. 24/2026.
Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system (102) for protecting output circuits in industrial automation devices. The system (102) includes a switching device (104) to operate at a predefined switching frequency, a current sensing element (106) to generate a voltage proportional to an output current of the switching device (104), and a threshold detection circuit (108) to compare the voltage across the current sensing element (106). The system (102) includes a control circuitry (110) to detect a fault condition based on a determination that the voltage across the current sensing element (106) exceeds the predetermined threshold, disable the switching device (104) in response to detection of the fault condition and re-enable the switching device (104) when the fault condition is absent. The system (102) enables detection of fault conditions at high switching speeds, and support automatic recovery, thereby improving reliability and operational safety of industrial automation devices.
