EPRI Disconnect Monitor

What:

The Disconnect Switch RF Monitor is a specialized device designed to measure critical parameters of electrical disconnect switches. It monitors the temperature of the blade and jaw components, as well as the inclination and rotation of the switch arm. This device can be installed on both the movable arm and the stationary jaw side, providing comprehensive monitoring capabilities.

How:

The RF Monitor operates by using sensors to detect temperature changes and movement in the disconnect switch. These sensors transmit data wirelessly to a central system where algorithms analyze the information. If the system detects any anomalies, such as excessive temperature or unusual movement, it triggers automatic alarms to alert maintenance personnel, ensuring timely intervention.
