Abstract
A rip detection system for a conveyor belt comprises at least one antenna and at least one sensing system. The at least one antenna comprises one or more continuous loops formed from at least a conductive fiber material. The at least one sensing system may include a transmitter, a receiver, a controller, and a power source. The at least one sensing system is configured to sense a conductivity of the at least one antenna. Based upon the sensed conductivity of the at least one antenna, the rip detection system determines a state of the conveyor belt.
