ABSTRACT:
A lightweight, portable, low-power automated bypass device for passing a signal between a first point and a second point on an electrical conductor when an electrical discontinuity exists thereon. The bypass device has two terminals for connection to the electrical conductor, and a continuity detector and a controllable switch. The continuity detector detects a continuous electrical connection between the points along the conductor and supplies a bypass control signal indicating when a discontinuity between the points is detected. The switch is connected to the first and second input terminals and responds to the bypass control signal for providing an electrical connection between the terminals. The bypass device can cycle between an ON time interval and an OFF time interval.
