Camber Energy receives notice of allowance for patent in wildfire mitigation

Camber Energy announced receipt of a Notice of Allowance from the United States Patent & Trademark Office for patent application No. 17/300,485 titled “End of Line Protection with Trip Signal Engaging”, which is expected to be issued in the coming weeks and is in addition to the patents previously announced by the Company within its portfolio of wildfire mitigation technologies. This prospective patent relates to ‘end of line’ for distribution line protection, using trip signal engagement and unique sensing methods. Conventionally, when distribution lines incur faults, the faults are detected and power is shut down based on overcurrent condition detection. There are automated mechanisms for resetting tripped circuit breakers to restore power that have historically relied only on those overcurrent conditions. When downed lines are inadvertently grounded, restoration of power can cause live wire hazards, such as electrocution, fire, equipment damage, etc. Camber’s patented technology is designed to prevent premature restoration and eliminate related hazards given its use of end of line multiple sensors and trip signals that prevent restoration until abnormal conditions have been resolved. The pending patent will be issued to Viking Sentinel Technology, LLC, a majority-owned subsidiary of Camber’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Viking Energy Group, Inc.
