Switchgear Monitoring System - Main Network Specifications
Simplicity
A single Intelligent Electronic Device (IED) should suffice for a circuit breaker, whether it is equipped with a single - phase drive or a three - phase drive.
Modularity
Given that all users do not face identical problems or have the same requirements, the system must be highly modular. This enables it to adapt to a wide range of situations and offer cost - effective solutions for scenarios where simple monitoring is needed.
Flexibility
Users should be able to easily configure the system's outputs and alarms.
Ease of Installation and Maintenance
Mechanical adaptation should adhere to well - established practices, such as DIN mounting and standard mechanical connections.
User - Friendliness
The system should provide clear and straightforward indications of the primary equipment's status, eliminating the need for complex interpretation.
Incorporation of Advanced Monitoring and Expert Systems
Precise diagnostics are essential for optimizing the work of maintenance teams. Each alarm should be accompanied by a description of its cause and the steps to restore the equipment to its rated operating condition.
Communication
Modern systems must allow remote access to all types of information from the office, including operational status, fault location, and scheduled end - of - life data.
