Abstract
A power distribution system that can detect an unsafe fault condition where an individual or object has come in contact with the power conductors. A block diagram of the present invention is shown in FIG. 1. The power distribution system regulates the transfer of energy from a source 1 to a load 3. Periodically, source controller 5 opens S1 disconnect switch 7 and load controller 9 opens S2 disconnect switch 13. A capacitor 4 represents that capacitance across the load terminals. If the capacitor discharges at a rate higher or lower than predetermined values after S1 and S2 are opened, then a fault condition is registered and S1 and S2 will not be commanded to return to a closed position, thus isolating the fault from both the source and load.
