American Marconi Wireless News - Camber Energy Announces Successful Completion of Live End-to-End Transmission-Line Validation Testing of Patented Broken Conductor Protection Technology

HOUSTON, TX / ACCESS Newswire / March 4, 2026 / Camber Energy, Inc. (OTCQB:CEIN) ("Camber" or the "Company") today announced that its majority-owned subsidiary, Viking Protection Systems, LLC ("Viking"), successfully completed live transmission-line validation testing of its patented Broken Conductor Protection Technology ("BCPT") on an energized 138 kV transmission line approximately 63 miles in length operated by a U.S. electric utility.

Highlights

• Live 138 kV energized transmission validation

• 63-mile transmission line

• Dual-end detection

• Sub-second trip logic assertion

• Sequence-of-events confirmation

• Adjacent-line security validation

Summary

The validation test was conducted on February 27, 2026, and involved simulation of single-phase open-conductor conditions on an energized transmission line. The utility simulated an open-conductor condition at both ends of the line.

In each instance, BCPT - implemented within SEL-411L transmission protection relays - detected the simulated open-conductor condition and asserted the programmed trip equation in less than one second at both ends of the line. The trip logic and all associated intermediate protection elements operated as designed, as confirmed by relay sequence-of-events records and oscillography. The validation was conducted under live system loading conditions.

Additional simulations on an adjacent transmission line were performed to evaluate operational security. BCPT did not falsely operate during these tests, demonstrating both dependable detection and secure performance under live transmission conditions.

A Major Step Forward for Transmission-Level Deployment

The Company believes this live validation represents a significant technical and commercialization milestone for BCPT. Successful operation on a 63-mile 138 kV transmission line demonstrates the technology is capable of protecting medium-length, high-voltage transmission infrastructure.

Our BCPT operates within existing transmission protection relays - allowing utilities to deploy protection enhancements without major infrastructure retrofits.

Addressing a Recognized Grid Risk

Broken conductor events are widely recognized within the electric utility industry as a potential ignition source under certain environmental conditions. The Company's BCPT is designed to detect developing open-phase conditions in milliseconds and rapidly initiate protective tripping of affected circuits, reducing ignition risk and enhancing public safety. With intellectual property spanning both transmission and distribution applications, Camber believes its BCPT offers utilities a scalable, system-wide approach to broken-conductor protection at all voltage levels.

Strategic Outlook

The Company believes the successful live transmission validation strengthens its position in discussions with utilities, OEM partners, and other stakeholders evaluating broken-conductor mitigation technologies. Camber intends to continue advancing licensing, partnership, and deployment opportunities where appropriate.
