He has made significant contributions to the field of electrical engineering, particularly in the area of fault detection in grid systems. His innovative approach has led to the development of a unique patent that addresses critical issues in electric power distribution.
Latest Patents
James Hannas holds a patent for an "Apparatus for isolation of high impedance faults." This invention relates to an arrangement for sensing a change in pressure from a first state to a second state. It functions within a grid system that may have faults undetected by traditional flow measurement devices. The arrangement consists of remote monitors powered by a communication system with a standalone power supply, which can sense significant changes in pressure. These monitors, equipped with a built-in time delay, transmit status changes to a central host computer for grid system analysis. In normal operations, a remote signal is sent from the host computer to an isolation device to isolate the fault from the remainder of the network system. Subsequently, the host computer notifies the operating department with written notice of the isolation action. In specific applications within electric power distribution networks, this invention can detect, isolate, and clear high impedance faults, such as those caused by downed lines, without interrupting service to customers not affected by the fault.
