Title: Aleksandar Daniel Oleg Rivin and Integrated Arc-Fault Protection

Introduction

Aleksandar Daniel Oleg Rivin is an inventor based in Boulder, Colorado, whose work includes an innovation in electrical panelboard safety. His patent describes integrating arc-fault circuit-interrupter (AFCI) protection into an electrical panelboard.

Latest Patents

Rivin’s listed patent, “Electrical Panelboard with Integrated Arc Fault Protection,” concerns incorporating AFCI protection directly or partially into the panelboard rather than relying solely on separate, standalone devices. The panelboard receives electricity at a main terminal and distributes it through a bus structure to terminals serving branch circuits. Conductive stabs can connect traditional overcurrent circuit breakers.

The disclosed integrated protection uses current sensors to monitor branch-circuit electricity, switching devices to interrupt its flow, and a processing system to analyze detected currents for arc faults and control the switches. Rivin is listed with 1 patent.

Career Highlights

Rivin is associated with Span.io, Inc. His patent focuses on bringing arc-fault detection and interruption capabilities into the electrical panelboard, combining sensing, analysis, and switching functions within the panelboard system.

Collaborations

Rivin’s listed coworker is Ian Casimir Dimen. The available information identifies their professional association but does not specify particular joint projects or co-inventorship.

Conclusion

Aleksandar Daniel Oleg Rivin’s patent presents an approach to integrating arc-fault protection into electrical panelboards, with the aim of detecting hazardous electrical arcs and interrupting current in branch circuits.
