Circuit Breaker
Never gets a faulty breaker in the time of need
HV Circuit Breaker Monitoring Solution-CB Watch
All Asset Managers know how critical their power transformers are and understand the risks and consequences of any failure. They are now focusing on the fact that high voltage circuit breakers are often just as critical. When a transformer problem is detected, protection relays and circuit breakers are relied upon to isolate it from the grid and a breaker’s “failure to operate” is not a palatable option. With worldwide scrutiny on SF6 gas usage, increased environmental reporting requirements and even possible penalties, precise early detection of small gas leaks is essential. The latest generation of EMC resistant digital gas sensors is used to provide leak detection down to 0.1% per year and to forecast refilling needs prior to reaching threshold levels and affecting operation.
Key Benefits
All circuit breakers do not operate as often or are not as critical, so Asset Managers often want different levels of monitoring within their CB fleet. The CB Watch 3’s modular design coupled with the small size of the modules and the bus architecture of the product allows customers to have different specifications for different types of breakers while keeping the same equipment supplier, the same hardware platform and the same software interface.
Refinements
Data for the last 50 operations is kept in memory to enable comparison
As the CB operating time varies (due to increased friction at low temperature), these timing variations can be compensated for in order to avoid false alarms.z
