Title: Innovations by Jack F Trezza in Electric Power Cable Fault Location
Introduction
Jack F Trezza is an accomplished inventor based in Hopatcong, NJ, with a focus on innovations in the field of electric power distribution. He holds three patents that showcase his expertise in locating faults in electric power cables, particularly in urban environments.
Latest Patents
One of Trezza's latest patents is a method of locating a fault in an electric power cable. This method involves pinpointing the location of a fault between manholes in an electrical cable, which is typically buried underground. The fault is often caused by an insulation defect that can be broken down by applying a high voltage. The process includes applying voltage to induce a transient fault pulse on both sides of the fault, allowing for accurate fault location determination. Another significant patent is a system and method for locating faults in power distribution systems with complex topology. This innovation utilizes reliable time-delay techniques and a transponder at a monitoring point to sense the arrival of the transient fault pulse. The system measures time intervals between pulses to determine the fault's location, enhancing accuracy by factoring in rise-time effects.
Career Highlights
Throughout his career, Trezza has worked with notable organizations such as the Electric Power Research Institute and Lucent Technologies. His contributions to these companies have significantly advanced the field of electric power distribution and fault location technologies.
