Patents, utility models and inventions on the topic: "More safety through more protective conductors"
05.06.2024
Wire breakage is a problem with electrical devices.
Wire damage is a problem in electrical engineering.
EN, DIN and VDE do not even require a broken protective conductor in the appliance supply cable to prevent it from becoming a problem.
This is precisely the problem.
Thus the state of the art by EN, DIN, VDE is: "first electric shock, then circuit breaker tripping".
If a core of the installed cable is damaged, this need not be recognised. However, the cross-section is reduced.
If a second core is also damaged, the protective devices of the cable or line, if present, could be triggered. Aerial, data or telephone cables have no protective devices.
My aim is to change this state of the art.
The circuit breaker should trip if the event occurs before the user suffers an electric shock or the weakening of the wire causes a fire.
