Benefits of technology

The present patent describes a protection apparatus that uses a thermovolumetric expansion force to improve the safety of electrical, chemical, and other distribution systems. The apparatus can detect and isolate unsafe conditions in any system connectivity component, mitigating the risk of future arc faults and reducing the likelihood of damaging or dangerous events. The technical effect of this patent is to enhance the safety of distribution systems by providing a reliable and effective means for detecting and isolating unsafe conditions.

Problems solved by technology

The relationship means that either increased resistance or increased current would eventually result in a DC arc with the hazards.

Embodiment Construction

[0058]Various embodiments of the invention are disclosed in the following detailed description and accompanying drawings. Each drawing teaches how to implement the techniques and / or components to affect the purposes of this patent.

[0059]FIG. 1 is a cutaway assembly drawing with four sub-drawings that depict an embodiment of the current invention. FIG. 1A depicts a cutaway view of a fully assembled connectivity design where a thermovolumetric substance is enclosed within the connectivity body. The image teaches how the components of the connectivity will be arranged when fully assembled. A total of five components are used in the assembly of this connectivity design. Two components comprise the main body of the connectivity, two components act as sealing mechanisms, while the final component is the thermovolumetric substance that expands upon heating. The dimension ‘Y’ represents the displacement distance which the thermovolumetric substance will cause the upper portion of the connec...

Abstract

A method, apparatus, and system for protection from hazards of conductivity is disclosed using non-electrical means to disrupt electrical current with a thermovolumetric substance. The purpose of this invention is to prevent hazardous conditions from occurring by disrupting the flow of electrical current prior to the development of arc fault conditions.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]Systems which are in connectivity typically include an infrastructure comprised of mechanical framework and means for disconnecting, regulating, controlling, distributing, and modifying the conducted material. Electrical arc-faults in connectivity occur when the operating current exceeds normal bounds; such as caused by differences in expansion of the conduit and metal contacts, a manufacturing defect, or Ohmic heating caused by increased resistance of the conductor due to galvanic corrosion.[0002]Electrical arc faults in electrical connectivity generate white hot plasma and intense heat. Arc faults can be caused, for example, by a manufacturing defect, overload, or thermal expansion and contraction at the joints by the thermodynamics of current on the conductor. There is a plethora of publically available documents such as, “American Electricians Handbook” by T. Croft, F. Hartwell, and W. Summers (which is included in its entirety by reference herei...
