Abstract
A digital information transfer system includes an electronic driver unit in electrical communication with a power supply to receive an input voltage. The driver converts the input data into output data based on a digital information transfer system protocol. An electronic fault detection is configured to determine a fault condition of the at least one output transmission line based on a comparison between a voltage level of the at least one output transmission line and the input voltage. An electronic fault protection module is in electrical communication with each of the driver unit, the at least one output transmission line and the fault detection module. The electronic fault protection module is configured to selectively disconnect the driver unit from the at least one output transmission line in response to detecting the fault condition.
