Remote Control and Automation
Operating mechanisms range from simple manual mechanisms
through spring assisted mechanisms to fully automated servo
control mechanisms for use in remote and automatic control.
With the addition of the Power Isolators (PI) 'Remote Terminal
Unit' and servo mechanism, disconnectors can be fully remotely
controlled and linked into substation SCADA control systems.
The PI RTU has been indeed specially designed as a
cost-effective solution to satisfy Utilities 'latest system
supervisory and control requirements'. With DNP3 protocol
as 'standard', the microcomputer controlled RTU offers
sophisticated and flexible monitoring and control functions,
from fault detection and indication to communication protocol
management through to current and voltage monitoring and
sectionalising capability, enabling the most demanding user
requirement to be addressed.
Remote Control and Automation
Automation
In addition to our fully remotely controlled switches, we have developed simple and
intelligent automatic switches requiring minimal installation works and low maintenance:
Sectionaliser in conjunction with recloser: consisting of an onload Air Break Switch
disconnector with solenoid operated, spring assisted opening mechanism. This switch
senses earth faults and/or 'overload' STC current and will open automatically in the
'dead time' of the PMR. This can be adjustable for the number of fault pulses.
Automatic drop out fuse switch: Such a device is similar to the sectionaliser but is both
more simple and self powered. The typical application is a spur feeder rather than
main line sectionaliser, employing a three phase switch to ensure that no phase
imbalance or ferro-resonance results.
Open point: Utilising voltage sensing insulators and with motorised operating mechanism,
a standard switch can become an automatic open point.
The PI SCADA control system allows a network of overhead or ground mounted switches to
be remotely controlled and monitored using a variety of possible communication methods
(Radio, Packet Networks, GSM, PSTN). The PI SCADA software (which runs on a standard PC)
is a DNP Master station and gives the system engineer the ability to quickly access the condition
of the network after faults and to reconfigure the network in order to restore supplies.
PI SCADA gives the following main features:

Remote Control and Automation
Operating mechanisms range from simple manual mechanisms
through spring assisted mechanisms to fully automated servo
control mechanisms for use in remote and automatic control.
With the addition of the Power Isolators (PI) 'Remote Terminal
Unit' and servo mechanism, disconnectors can be fully remotely
controlled and linked into substation SCADA control systems.
The PI RTU has been indeed specially designed as a
cost-effective solution to satisfy Utilities 'latest system
supervisory and control requirements'. With DNP3 protocol
as 'standard', the microcomputer controlled RTU offers
sophisticated and flexible monitoring and control functions,
from fault detection and indication to communication protocol
management through to current and voltage monitoring and
sectionalising capability, enabling the most demanding user
requirement to be addressed.
Remote Control and Automation
Automation
In addition to our fully remotely controlled switches, we have developed simple and
intelligent automatic switches requiring minimal installation works and low maintenance:
Sectionaliser in conjunction with recloser: consisting of an onload Air Break Switch
disconnector with solenoid operated, spring assisted opening mechanism. This switch
senses earth faults and/or 'overload' STC current and will open automatically in the
'dead time' of the PMR. This can be adjustable for the number of fault pulses.
Automatic drop out fuse switch: Such a device is similar to the sectionaliser but is both
more simple and self powered. The typical application is a spur feeder rather than
main line sectionaliser, employing a three phase switch to ensure that no phase
imbalance or ferro-resonance results.
Open point: Utilising voltage sensing insulators and with motorised operating mechanism,
a standard switch can become an automatic open point.
The PI SCADA control system allows a network of overhead or ground mounted switches to
be remotely controlled and monitored using a variety of possible communication methods
(Radio, Packet Networks, GSM, PSTN). The PI SCADA software (which runs on a standard PC)
is a DNP Master station and gives the system engineer the ability to quickly access the condition
of the network after faults and to reconfigure the network in order to restore supplies.
PI SCADA gives the following main features:
