Electrical Conductor Conductivity Detection via Transfer Resistance

The patent applies preliminary action by calculating transfer resistance between system components before a malfunction occurs. By continuously monitoring the transfer resistance values and comparing them against threshold values, the system detects gradual deterioration of electrical conductors in advance, enabling preventive measures to be taken before complete failure occurs. This resolves the contradiction by shifting detection from reactive (after malfunction) to proactive (before malfunction).

The patent uses transfer resistance as an intermediary parameter to indirectly monitor the conductivity of electrical conductors. Instead of directly measuring conductor properties under mechanical stress, the system measures the transfer resistance between connected system components, which reflects the conductivity state. This intermediary measurement approach makes it feasible to detect gradual conductivity deterioration caused by mechanical stresses without requiring direct access to or complex measurement of the conductor itself.

The patent replaces complex mechanical measurement systems with an electrical measurement approach. Instead of using mechanical gauges or visual inspection to detect cross-sectional area reduction in stretched conductors, the system uses electrical resistance measurements. The transfer resistance calculation provides precise detection of conductivity changes resulting from mechanical deformation, achieving high measurement precision with a relatively simple electrical measurement system.
