Reduce Outage Durations & Improve Power Systems Reliability
When it comes to outage restoration every second counts. Smart Grid Solutions manufactures reliable fault indicators that improve system reliability by reducing outage time on electrical distribution systems of all sizes and voltages.
The Recon provides accurate and reliable fault detection in underground power systems. Its durable design and intelligent operating principle ensure trusted fault response on a wide range of applications, making it an industry leader for enhancing system reliability.
The Patrolman improves system reliability by monitoring overhead lines for faults. Its power-efficient electronics, durable mechanical design, and reliable operating principle ensure a long field life of helping linemen easily locate faults and quickly re-energize power systems.
The Patrolman Plus is designed for easy and efficient operation in power distribution networks, utilizing cellular networks to instantly transmit fault location and data back to the utility. These units are clamp-and-play, featuring built- in LTE connectivity and location through GPS, allowing for immediate use upon installation without additional equipment.
Smart Grid Solutions’ DM-1 door-mounted transceiver works in tandem with the Recon underground fault indicator. Due to difficulties in projecting a radio signal from inside a transformer casing to the outside, the cable-mounted FI-3C fault indicator transmits data through a fiber optic cable to the door-mounted DM-1 transceiver, which then uses a low-power cellular module to transmit that data. The DM-1 sends notifications on fault events, FCI reset due to system re-energization or time reset, and low battery. With its low-power cellular module and power-efficient design, the DM-1 is designed to provide ten years of field life on a single battery.
Smart Grid Solutions’ fault indicators take the guesswork out of fault locating and feeder switching. Our SMART fault indicators serve as a beacon to help linemen locate faults – reducing outage time and man-hours for users.
Headquartered in Austin, TX, with our manufacturing hub in Dallas, TX, Smart Grid Solutions embodies the spirit of innovation and local excellence.
