Scientific novelty

The novelty lies in detecting a break in the lighting line based on data regarding changes in the phase angle φ between current and voltage, whereas existing methods use other electrical values for these purposes that do not allow for sufficiently prompt power disconnection of the damaged line in the event of a break.

Advantages

This invention differs from its analogues by the simplicity of computational operations, low capital costs for implementing the method, and high efficiency in detecting lighting line breaks, thereby increasing the electrical safety of the lighting complex.

Commercial Implementation

The method can be applied to improve the electrical safety of residential lighting complexes, as well as in outdoor street lighting systems that include gas-discharge lamps, including HPS and mercury-vapor types.
