Abstract

A system for a shutdown of an electric charger of an electric vehicle in response to a fault detection is presented. The system includes a sensor communicatively connected to a charging component, wherein the sensor is configured to detect at least a measured charger datum and generate a sensor datum as a function of the at least a measured charger datum. The system further includes a computing device, wherein the computing device is configured to identify a fault element as a function of the sensor datum, determine a disruption element as a function of the identification of the fault element. and initiate a shutdown protocol of the charging component as a function of the disruption element.

Claims (39)

1 . A system for a shutdown of an electric charger of an electric vehicle in response to a fault detection, the system comprising:

a sensor communicatively connected to a charging component, wherein the sensor is configured to:

detect at least a measured charger datum; and

generate a sensor datum as a function of the at least a measured charger datum;

a processor, wherein the processor is configured to:

identify a fault element as a function of the sensor datum;

determine a disruption element as a function of the identification of the fault element;

assign the disruption element with a trip class; and

initiate a shutdown protocol of the charging component as a function of the disruption element and the trip class, wherein the shutdown protocol includes safety lock instructions comprising:

verifying a physical connection between the charging component and an electric aircraft; and

unlocking, if the physical connection is verified, a fastener of the charging component to disconnect the charging component and the electric aircraft.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the electric vehicle further comprises an electric aircraft.

3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the processor is further configured to receive a battery pack datum from the electric aircraft.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the fault element further comprises a network communication fault.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the fault element further comprises an electrical abnormality.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to determine the disruption element as a function of a fault threshold.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the shutdown protocol further comprises tripping the charging component, using a switch, as a function of the disruption element.

8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to initiate the shutdown protocol automatically.

9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the shutdown protocol further comprises disabling a power supply of the charging component.

10 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the shutdown protocol further comprises an emergency protocol, wherein the emergency protocol includes electrically shutting down at least an electrical connection of the charging component.

11 . A method for a shutdown of an electric charger in response to a fault detection, the method comprising:

detecting, by a sensor communicatively connected to a charging component, at least a measured charger datum;

generating sensor datum as a function of the at least a measured charger datum;

receiving, by a processor, the sensor datum;

identifying a fault element as a function of the sensor datum;

determining a disruption element as a function of the identification of the disruption element;

assigning the disruption element with a trip class; and

initiating a shutdown protocol of the charging component as a function of the disruption element and the trip class, wherein the shutdown protocol includes safety lock instructions comprising:

verifying a physical connection between the charging component and an electric aircraft; and

unlocking, if the physical connection is verified, a fastener of the charging component to disconnect the charging component and the electric aircraft.

12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the electric vehicle further comprises an electric aircraft.

13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the method further comprises receiving a battery pack datum from the electric aircraft.

14 . The method of claim 11 , wherein identifying the fault element further comprises identifying a fault within a network communication.

15 . The method of claim 11 , wherein identifying the fault element further comprises identifying an electrical abnormality.

16 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the method further comprises determining the disruption element as a function of a fault threshold.

17 . The method of claim 11 , wherein initiating the shutdown protocol further comprises tripping the charging component as a function of the disruption element using a switch.

18 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the method further comprises initiating the shutdown protocol automatically by the processor.

19 . The method of claim 11 , wherein initiating the shutdown protocol further comprises disabling a power supply of the charging component.

20 . The method of claim 11 , wherein initiating the shutdown protocol further comprises initiating an emergency protocol, wherein the emergency protocol includes shutting down at least an electrical connection of the charging component.
