The Guardian: Safeguarding against Neutral loss and Stray Voltages across EV, Building, and Household Infrastructure.
In today’s world, where electrical reliability is vital across sectors, our Patent Pending Guardian technology introduces a transformative approach to safety in electric vehicle (EV) installations, general building infrastructure, and even household electrical systems. Guardian’s unique capabilities for detecting Neutral loss and stray voltages on bonded surfaces make it a versatile safety solution with applications in various environments, from high-powered commercial setups to residential homes, particularly in split-phase systems typical in the USA.
How Guardian Detects Neutral Loss and Stray Voltages
At the core of Guardian’s innovation is its ability to create a stable star point from multi-phase supplies, such as split-phase systems found in U.S. households and three-phase systems in commercial or industrial settings. This capability is essential for monitoring power stability and accurately detecting loss of Neutral, a condition where the Neutral conductor fails or is disconnected. Such failures can result in dangerous voltage imbalances, potentially energizing bonded surfaces and equipment enclosures.
Guardian is also designed to detect stray voltages that may appear on bonded surfaces, whether in a building’s electrical framework, an EV charging station, or general equipment. These stray voltages can occur due to electrical faults, and Guardian’s continuous monitoring ensures early detection, allowing for swift intervention to prevent potential electric shocks and property damage.
1. Electric Shock Hazards: In both residential and commercial settings, stray voltages present a serious risk of electric shock, especially on bonded metal surfaces. For households in the U.S., where split-phase power is common, a Neutral loss could energize appliances and other surfaces, putting occupants at risk.
2. Damage to Equipment a
1. Electric Shock Hazards: In both residential and commercial settings, stray voltages present a serious risk of electric shock, especially on bonded metal surfaces. For households in the U.S., where split-phase power is common, a Neutral loss could energize appliances and other surfaces, putting occupants at risk.
2. Damage to Equipment and Infrastructure: Voltage imbalances from Neutral loss can cause excessive voltage to reach connected appliances or machinery, damaging equipment and shortening its lifespan. This is particularly relevant in domestic settings, where sensitive electronics and appliances may be exposed to damaging fluctuations.
3. Increased Risk of Fire: Loss of Neutral in multi-phase systems may lead to overheating, arcing, and potential fires. Guardian’s rapid detection of these faults helps prevent escalation, reducing the likelihood of fire incidents.
1. Proactive Multi-Environment Safety Monitoring: Guardian is designed to address safety risks not only in EV charging environments but also in general buildings, commercial spaces, and domestic households. Its ability to detect Neutral loss and stray voltages across diverse installations adds a critical layer of safety wherever it is dep
1. Proactive Multi-Environment Safety Monitoring: Guardian is designed to address safety risks not only in EV charging environments but also in general buildings, commercial spaces, and domestic households. Its ability to detect Neutral loss and stray voltages across diverse installations adds a critical layer of safety wherever it is deployed.
2. Enhanced Protection in U.S. Households with Split-Phase Power: For residential settings in the United States, Guardian’s split-phase compatibility is particularly valuable. In homes where split-phase power is standard, Neutral loss detection is essential to prevent voltage instability that could harm both residents and equipment.
3. Regulatory Compliance and Reliability: Guardian supports compliance with key standards such as BS 7671, BS EN 61851-1, IET 01 and is C UL listed, ensuring reliable performance that aligns with established electrical safety protocols. This makes it easier for facility managers, homeowners, and businesses to meet stringent safety requirements while protecting their infrastructure.
4. Prevention of Costly Damages: By intervening before voltage imbalances or stray voltages cause damage, Guardian reduces the risk of costly repairs or replacements for household, commercial, or industrial equipment. This proactive protection translates to significant long-term savings, The monitoring of the phases can lead to even further energy savings.
