Why Breaker Mechanism Monitoring
Breaker mechanism in circuit breakers is a system that protects the asset from overcurrents and faults by interrupting the flow of current. It controls the tripping and closing of the circuit breaker contacts to prevent any short circuits. It involves the reliable working of several components such as trip coils, springs, moving contacts, arc quenching, and control systems. Maintenance that involves peiodically scheduled visits, fail to detect operating deficiencies and potential failures that might prevent a complete asset shutdown. Additionally, visual inspections are inadequate in ensuring the data collected in accurate.
Proactive condition monitoring, allows the continuous real-time tracking of critical breaker mechanism parameters that aid in early fault detection of faults. Thus, empowering operational strategists and managers to take preventive measures, minimizing downtime and maintenance costs.
Why Rugged Monitoring-
Rugged Monitoring’s proactive monitoring solutions provide comprehensive real-time insights into mechanical, thermal, and electrical health of breakers. Using our highly precise IoT sensors and edge devices, breaker mechanisms such as compromised performance and delay fault clearing are addressed early on. Key operational parameters such as hotspots, temperature, and insulation degradation are continuously tracked using non-intrusive methods. Other issues such as contact wear are indirectly monitored through thermal behaviour using our fiber optic sensing technology. Our solutions are robust, plug-and-play, and immune to electromagnetic interferences, making them highly suitable in extreme operating conditions.
Our solutions capture waveforms continuosly to provide precise thermal and electrical diagnostics even in high-voltage environments. With real-time trend analysis and predictive maintenance insights, operators can customizable alarms and dashboards to their suitable thresholds. Condition-based actions such as these, minimize failures, extend asset lifespan, and ensure the reliability of the overall grid.
