Abstract
A method of localizing an object is provided. The method comprises deactivating a wireless system in a defined zone and then activating a wireless data concentrator located in the defined zone, wherein the wireless data concentrator is electrically isolated from the wireless system. The wireless system is activated, wherein the wireless system is electrically coupled to a circuit breaker with a known location in the defined zone. A signal from the wireless system is received at the wireless data concentrator. The distance of the wireless system from the wireless data concentrator is determined based on the signal, and a location is assigned to the wireless system within the defined zone based on the distance of the wireless system from the wireless data concentrator and the known location of the circuit breaker in the defined zone.
