METHOD FOR AUTOMATIC DETECTION OF FAULTY LOADS DISTRIBUTED ALONG POWER SUPPLY LINE Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC H05B37/03 G01R31/08 

FIELD: electricity.

SUBSTANCE: centre of local control is placed in the beginning of the line, which consists of microprocessor unit, device of communication with dispatcher point, electric circuit transmitter of commands and sensor of instant power. Each receiver of commands has its unique address, receives and follows only those commands from power supply line, which contain its address. To detect faulty load, first commands are sent for disconnection of all loads from power supply line. Then command is sent for connection of a separate load. Power consumed by the line is measured and compared. If power measured does not correspond to the one specified earlier, this load is considered to be faulty, address of this load is transmitted with the help of communication device to dispatcher station, then command is sent for disconnection of this load from power supply line, then process is repeated serially for all line loads.

EFFECT: expansion of functional capabilities.
