Why Arc Detection Monitoring
Arcing is one of the most common defects that occurs in switchgear due to high-voltage plasma discharge creating an electric arc between conductors. These arc flashes are high-current, low-impedence faults caused due to factors such as mechnical failure in switchgear, asset overload or other environmental factors, damaging the asset and its effective functioning. These issues also produce high-temperatures that further damage the insulation leading to electrical faults. Traditional maintenance practises fail to capture these issues preemptively, cause asset downtime and unreliability in performance.
Proactive condition monitoring detects and reacts to failures in real-time, minimizing damage and potential safety hazards. It also effectively limits the duration of arcing, enhancing reliability and availability of switchgear.
Why Rugged Monitoring-
Rugged Monitoring solutions for arc fault detection monitor critical parameters such as temperature, hotspots, voltage fluctuations, vibrations, and SF6 pressures. Our complete condition monitoring system, including IoT sensors, edge devices, and software, exposes potential arc flash hazards through real-time monitoring that is non-intrusive and immune to electromagnetic interference. Our solutions also provide the convenience of integration on both new and retrofit installations, allowing for a direct and comprehensive approach to switchgear maintenance.
With advanced data-driven analytics that provide customizable alarms and intuitive dashboards, our system empowers asset managers to make informed decisions, even on the most minor fluctuations. By enabling proactive maintenance strategies, our solutions minimize downtime, maximize the value of the asset, and improve the overall operational efficiency of switchgear.
