DETECTING BRUSHFIRE IN POWER SYSTEMS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. :
- A control circuit for a power system comprising a detection circuit that is coupled to an antenna,wherein the antenna is configured to;
receive an electromagnetic wave generated by a brushfire in the power system;
convert the electromagnetic wave to an electrical signal; and
deliver the electrical signal to the detection circuit,wherein the detection circuit is configured to;
detect the brushfire based on the electrical signal; and
set a bit in response to detecting the brushfire.
