Latest Patents
Ho Wilson holds a patent for a "Method and device for detecting accidental arcs." This invention relates to a method for detecting accidental arcs (arc tracking) on a cable, especially on a cable of an aircraft electrical system. According to the method, an alternating current signal (I(t)) that has been detected is sampled time-discretely. A trigonometric function (I(k)) imitating the alternating current characteristic is determined by interpolation of a number of sampling values (y(k)). The current alternating frequency (ω) is then derived from this trigonometric function. The result of a comparison of the current alternating current frequency (ω) and a set or reference frequency (ω') is used to determine the presence of an accidental arc (I,I), and a warning signal (S) is optionally generated. A device that functions according to this method is advantageously integrated into a circuit-breaker for the aircraft electrical system, equipping it to detect and deactivate accidental arcs that occur on the electrical system cable.
