Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for detecting electromagnetic radiation from electrical systems are inadequate as they fail to timely identify hazardous levels and trace the source effectively, often detecting radiation only after exposure has occurred.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If periodic testing by authorized examiners is conducted, then radiation levels can be detected, but detection occurs too late for exposed persons and the source is difficult to trace
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary continuous monitoring of electromagnetic radiation levels and current flows in electrical infrastructure before hazardous exposure occurs. Induction rings are continuously connected to monitoring equipment that tracks radiation levels and current imbalances, enabling early detection of problematic circuits before they reach hazardous thresholds, thus eliminating the time delay inherent in periodic manual testing.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary automated monitoring system between the electrical infrastructure and human exposure. This intermediary system continuously measures radiation levels and current flows, processes the data, and identifies radiation sources before periodic human inspection can occur, enabling timely intervention and source tracing.
2Reliability
If RCD is used to detect current leakage, then electrocution can be prevented, but electromagnetic radiation pollution cannot be detected
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates a multi-functional monitoring platform that can detect both current leakage (for electrocution prevention) and electromagnetic radiation levels (for radiation pollution detection). The induction rings and control unit are designed to measure multiple parameters simultaneously, allowing a single system to address both safety concerns that were previously handled by separate devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The system segments the monitoring functions into distinct measurement capabilities within a unified platform. Induction rings are configured to separately measure current flow through conductors and electromagnetic radiation fields, with the control unit processing different signal types independently. This segmentation allows simultaneous detection of both electrocution risks and radiation pollution without interference.
3Measurement precision
If induction rings are installed on all electric lines, then radiation sources can be accurately identified, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the electrical infrastructure into discrete monitoring zones, each equipped with an induction ring on specific high-risk circuits. Rather than uniformly installing rings on all lines, the system divides monitoring into priority levels based on radiation risk, allowing accurate source identification in critical areas while avoiding unnecessary complexity in low-risk areas.
Solution Approach 2:
The system merges multiple induction ring signals into a centralized control unit that processes all measurements simultaneously. The control unit consolidates data from multiple rings, correlates radiation levels with specific circuits, and identifies sources through pattern recognition, reducing the overall system complexity compared to independent monitoring of each line.
