Digitization of all data at the source reduces the risk of electrocution dramatically. The elimination of open current circuits minimizes exposure to high voltage electricity and reduces the risk of damaging equipment. Download the brochure.
Replacing copper cables with digital communication capability shortens installation and retrofit times and enables complete system supervision, reducing maintenance requirements.
Enables user-friendly central management of security events and user accounts.
Complete supervision of all substation automation components facilitates faster fault detection and elimination, and further minimizes the need for periodic maintenance, lowering costs as well as reducing outage times.
Merging units with minimum delay times and IEDs with the highest GOOSE performance levels supports fast data transfer and protection functionality.
