Patent for Sale:

Device for Shutting Off Power Supply to Electrical Equipment in Flammable/Explosive Places - Coal Mine    

A signal is sent out to a safety and monitoring unit to cut off the power supply and provide an alarm before screwing off a screw on a cover plate of electrical equipment.

The patent provides a monitoring and protection unit for use in environments that are potentially explosive or flammable and electrical equipment needs to be employed for maintenance or work purposes. For example - for miners working in a coal mine. The objective is to prevent accidental gas explosions.

The patent provides for a motion sensor and wireless communication to sense when a bolt casing has been removed and to automatically shut off electrical power, reducing the risk of the electrical power causing an explosion.
