TLDR
In this paper, the authors proposed a method for detecting fault current in a line and converting it to a proportional voltage signal, which is used to switch a solenoid to first and second positions depending upon the value of the signal.Abstract:
A device for detecting fault current. The device senses the current in a line and converts it to a proportional voltage signal. The voltage signal is used to switch a solenoid to first and second positions depending upon the value of the signal. The device will re-set itself after sensing a fault current when normal line current is restored.read more

Power line energy harvesting power supply
TL;DR: In this paper, a current transforming harvester (CTH) is proposed to produce power from a conductor on a preexisting power grid without alteration of the conductor or the preextending power grid.
Patent
Overhead communicating device
TL;DR: A power line monitoring device is mounted to a power line as discussed by the authors, and the ground reference point of the circuitry is electrically coupled to the power line, so that there is a substantially equalized or uniform electric field around the device.

Systems and methods for energy harvesting and current and voltage measurements
TL;DR: In this paper, a harvesting and measurement device is operable in at least a normal operation mode, a demand measurement mode, and a fault measurement mode; the device is able to harvest energy from an associated power line and monitor current and voltage conditions through a lower power circuit.
