Method, System, and Apparatus to Prevent Electrical or Thermal-Based Hazards in Conduits

Abstract

A method, apparatus, and system for protection from hazards of conductivity is disclosed using non-electrical means to disrupt electrical current with a thermovolumetric substance. The purpose of this invention is to prevent hazardous conditions from occurring by disrupting the flow of electrical current prior to the development of arc fault conditions.

1 . An apparatus for an autonomous disruption of a connectivity using a thermovolumetric mechanism to prevent a hazardous event comprising:
 A thermovolumetric substance for creating a hydraulic force;   An assembly of non-electrically conductive material forming a hollow guide configured for holding one or more electrical conductors comprising:
 a first part and a second part; one or both configured with a cavity containing the thermovolumetric substance; 
 wherein a force due to heating the thermovolumetric substance separates the one or more electrical conductors causing the one or more electrical conductors to disconnect. 
   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein heating of the thermovolumetric substance forces a disruption of the connectivity. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the hazardous event is a fire. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the hazardous event is electrocution. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising a means to indicate a disruption of the connectivity. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the thermovolumetric substance is compounded with a fire suppressant or a plasma suppressant. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising a means to provide a kinetic force to augment the hydraulic force. 
     
     
         8 - 11 . (canceled) 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein heating of the thermovolumetric substance forces separation of the hollow guide causing disruption of the connectivity. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising a thermokinetic substance to augment the hydraulic force. 
     
     
         14 - 23 . (canceled)
