S&C Intellirupter adds sensors for current/voltage data
The smart-grid-focused S&C Electric Company has announced that its IntelliRupter PulseCloser now offers high-accuracy voltage and current sensors as a standard feature.
The now-standard sensors enable the IntelliRupter to respond to self-healing and protection applications with greater accuracy than any device currently on the market, according to S&C. The sensors also offer a cost-efficient approach to capturing the high-accuracy current and voltage data needed to support other smart-grid applications, such as volt/var control and circuit optimisation.
“Accurate sensing systems capture the data that intelligent grid networks need to support a multitude of smart-grid applications,” says Michael Edmonds, S&C’s Global Smart Grid Strategies Director. “The IntelliRupter’s built-in sensors obtain crucial operational data and eliminate the need for utilities to install separate sensing devices, reduce installation and maintenance costs and improve the return on their IntelliRupter investment.”
