Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for monitoring a temperature change of a power distribution circuit having a power line and return line includes measuring an output current and output voltage of the power distribution circuit at an input to a load electrically connected to the power distribution circuit, and determining a change in temperature of at least one of the power line and return line based on a change in at least one of the output current and output voltage.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed: 1. A method for monitoring a temperature change of a power distribution circuit including a power line, return line and ground line, the method comprising: measuring an output current and output voltage of the power distribution circuit at an input to a load electrically connected to the power distribution circuit, wherein the output voltage is measured between the ground line and one of the power line and return line; and determining a change in temperature of at least one of the power line and return line based on a change in at least one of the output current and output voltage. 2. The method of claim 1 further comprising controlling the output current based on the change in temperature. 3. The method of claim 1 wherein the return line comprises a neutral line. 4. A method for monitoring a temperature change of a power distribution circuit including a power line, return line and ground line, the method comprising: measuring an output current or output voltage of the power distribution circuit at an input to a load electrically connected to the power distribution circuit, wherein the output voltage is measured between the ground line and one of the power line and return line; measuring an input current and input voltage to the load; and determining a change in temperature of at least one of the power line and return line based on a change in at least one of the output current, output voltage, input current and input voltage. 5. The method of claim 4 further comprising controlling the output current based on the change in temperature.
