Patent

CA 2577639

A system and method are provided for determining an expected life of an electric surge protection component. The system and method monitors preferably each surge that an electric surge protection component experiences. Each surge is measured to determine magnitude and duration, and a cumulative surge measurement history is maintained for each component. Based upon an analysis of the cumulative surge measurement history, an expected life of the component is determined, and an end user is alerted at or preferably near an end of the expected life of the device.

Système et méthode pour déterminer la durée de vie prévue d'un limiteur de surtension, consistant à surveiller de préférence chaque courant de tension d'un limiteur de surtension. On mesure chaque courant de tension afin d'établir son intensité et sa durée, et l'on conserve un historique des mesures du courant de tension cumulatif pour chaque élément. D'après une analyse de cet historique, on détermine la durée de vie prévue de l'élément, et l'utilisateur final est alerté à la fin de la durée de vie prévue du dispositif ou, de préférence, peu avant celle-ci.
