Applications

​

Legacy Substation Monitoring

Monitoring of assets located at substations without need for costly renovations or service interruptions

​

Grid Automation

Enable remote monitoring and operation of utility infrastructure for more efficient grid management

Volt/VAR Optimization

Sensors can be used as part of a centralized VVO system or locally as replacement of PTs or line post sensors

Fault Detection and Outage Management

Easily identify the location of a fault for quicker power restoration

Asset Management

Asset monitoring for improved management and allocation of capital

Voltage, Current and Power Measurements
