REMOTE FAULT DETECTION AND CONDITION MONITORING
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for providing remote fault detection and monitoring, the method comprising:
- measuring at least one electrical characteristic of at least one monitored device at a first location;
determining whether the at least one measured electrical characteristic of the at least one device indicates that at least one alarm condition has been triggered; and
in response to determining that the at least one measured electrical characteristic of the at least one device indicates that at least one alarm condition has been triggered, providing at least one alert associated with the at least one alarm condition.

Abstract
Remote fault detection and condition monitoring may be provided. First, at least one electrical characteristic of at least one monitored device at a first location may be measured. Next, it may be determined whether the at least one measured electrical characteristic of the at least one device indicates that at least one alarm condition has been triggered. Then, in response to determining that the at least one measured electrical characteristic of the at least one device indicates that at least one alarm condition has been triggered, at least one alert associated with the at least one alarm condition may be provided.

20. A device for providing remote fault detection and condition monitoring, the device comprising:
-
at least one sensor operable to measure an amount of current drawn by at least one lighting component connected to at least one wire without penetrating an insulation of the at least one wire; at least one network component operable to send and receive data via at least one first network, wherein the at least one first network comprises at least one of the following;
a wired data connection, a wireless network, a Bluetooth network, a cellular network, a low power network,and a radio network;a memory; and at least one processing unit operably connected to the at least one sensor, the memory, and the at least one network component, wherein the processing unit is operable to; receive, via the network component, at least one condition comprising at least one of the following;
an amount of current comprising an undercurrent alarm condition, an amount of current comprising an overcurrent alarm condition, a current range comprising a normal current condition, and a percentage difference from an average current comprising a deviation alarm condition,receive at least one measurement from the at least one sensor, store the at least one measurement in the memory, determine whether the at least one measurement satisfies the at least one alarm condition, and in response to determining that the at least one measurement satisfies the at least one alarm condition, transmit, via the network component, the at least one measurement and a location identifier to a central server.
