Electrical switchgear plays an important role in operating the electrical power system safely with high reliability. Malfunction in switchgear operations can lead to severe failures in transformers and other connected electrical assets. The switchgear failures may lead to damage of electrical assets, unplanned outages, as well as cost and resources. Monitoring and tracking their performance are important for an efficient and increased asset lifetime.
Partial Discharge Monitoring identifies incipient faults into GIS, such as loose connections, void in Insulation, metal particles, protrusion etc.
Real-time SF6 leakage monitoring and reporting enables utilities to prevent sudden failures and comply with the environmental regulations
Arc Detection during HV testing and Arc Monitoring during GIS operation increases reliability and availability for GIS during fault conditions.
Breaker mechanism failure is one of major causes of GIS failures. Online monitoring of mechanical & electrical parameters of circuit breakers prevents such failures.
Online monitoring of Earthing Switches and Fast Earthing Switch components increases the reliability and safety of GIS operation and maintenance.
Online monitoring of Disconnectors and its components increases the reliability and safety of GIS operation and maintenance.
