METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND APPARATUS FOR PROTECTION SYSTEM ACTIVATION AND DYNAMIC LABELING
First Claim
1. A protection system for use with a plurality of circuit protection devices coupled to a switchgear unit, said protection system comprising:
- a first sensor for detecting a body located within a first zone associated with a threshold distance from the switchgear unit; and
a controller coupled to said first sensor, said controller configured to selectively enable the plurality of circuit protection devices, said controller configured to enable a first circuit protection device of the plurality of circuit protection devices in response to detecting, via said first sensor, a body within the first zone.

Abstract
Methods, devices, and systems for activation of a protection system and dynamic labeling are described. An example system for use with a plurality of circuit protection devices coupled to a switchgear unit includes a first sensor for detecting a body located within a first zone associated with a threshold distance from the switchgear unit, and a controller coupled to the first sensor. The controller is configured to selectively enable the plurality of circuit protection devices. The controller is configured to enable a first circuit protection device of the plurality of circuit protection devices in response to detecting, via the first sensor, a body within the first zone.
