Camber Energy announces issuance of patent by USPTO

Camber Energy announced that on March 26, 2024, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued U.S. patent11,942,776 entitled “Electric Transmission Line Ground Fault Prevention Systems Using Dual Parameter Monitoring With High Sensitivity Relay Devices in Parallel With Low Sensitivity Relay Devices”. This new patent is part of a portfolio of intellectual property that has been incorporated into Broken Conductor Protection technologies: designed to detect a broken conductor anywhere on a transmission circuit and de-energize the line within half of a second before it touches the ground or a grounded structure; which do not interfere with existing protection; work on all transmission circuits in conjunction with existing equipment; are more reliable than other solutions because they leverage the physics of a transmission circuit; and designed to prevent broken conductors from starting fires and/or injuring persons. The technology is designed to be an integral component within a much-needed, worldwide grid hardening and stability initiative by electric utilities to improve resiliency and reliability of existing infrastructure. The new patent was issued to Viking Protection Systems, LLC, a majority-owned subsidiary of Camber’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Viking Energy Group, Inc.
