GROUNDING DEVICE, GROUNDING METHOD, AND PROGRAM RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18266314 titled 'GROUNDING DEVICE, GROUNDING METHOD, AND PROGRAM RECORDING MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a grounding device that is designed to suppress the generation of heat caused by a rush current when a feed line is grounded in a submarine apparatus. The device includes an in-submarine-apparatus feed line that supplies power to an electrical component, a determination means to check if the temperature of an impedance circuit connected between the feed line and a sea earth exceeds a threshold value, and a first connection means to connect the terminals of the impedance circuit when the temperature exceeds the threshold value.

  • The grounding device is installed in a submarine apparatus to provide a safe grounding solution.
  • It includes a feed line that supplies power to an electrical component within the submarine apparatus.
  • An impedance circuit is connected between the feed line and a sea earth.
  • A determination means is used to monitor the temperature of the impedance circuit.
  • If the temperature exceeds a predetermined threshold value, the first connection means is activated.
  • The first connection means connects the terminals of the impedance circuit to suppress the generation of heat caused by a rush current when the feed line is grounded.

Potential Applications:

  • Submarine apparatus: The grounding device can be used in various electrical systems within a submarine to ensure safe grounding and prevent heat generation during grounding.

Problems Solved:

  • Heat generation during grounding: The grounding device solves the problem of heat generated due to rush current when a feed line is grounded in a submarine apparatus. It provides a means to suppress this heat generation and prevent any potential damage.

Benefits:

  • Safety: The grounding device ensures safe grounding by suppressing heat generation during the grounding process.
  • Protection: By preventing heat generation, the device protects the electrical components and the overall submarine apparatus from potential damage.
  • Efficiency: The device allows for efficient power supply and operation of electrical systems within the submarine apparatus.


Original Abstract Submitted

In order to provide a grounding device and the like which can suppress generation of heat generated due to a rush current when a feed line is grounded, a grounding device according to the present invention comprises: an in-submarine-apparatus feed line which is installed in a submarine apparatus and which supplies power to an electrical component in the submarine apparatus; a determination means for determining whether or not the temperature of an impedance circuit which is to be connected between the feed line and a sea earth and which has a predetermined impedance exceeds a threshold value; and a first connection means for connecting two terminals of the impedance circuit when the temperature exceeds the threshold value as a result of the determination.
