FAIRPORT, N.Y., Jan. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Qualitrol,
industry leader in power grid monitoring, is proud to release the
next generation of continuous online monitors for circuit breakers.
The Qualitrol QBCM series represents a field-proven, circuit
breaker monitoring system based on 15+ years of customer
experience. Monitoring real-time circuit breaker health and
predicting faults, the Qualitrol QBCM series gives substation
operators actionable data regarding the maintenance of circuit
breakers before an unexpected outage or failure even occurs.
"Circuit breakers aren't the most expensive when compared to
other substation assets, so the temptation may be to simply replace
them at the time of failure. When they do fail, however, the damage
to the rest of the substation can be catastrophic and more
widespread than a transformer failure. By not actively monitoring
your aging breakers you could be putting the whole grid at risk,"
states Product Manager Shaival
Desai.
The Qualitrol QBCM captures breaker status, in addition to
monitoring time, fault current interruption, trip speed, and
function every time the Circuit Breaker operates. Qualitrol's new
series of Circuit Breaker monitors offer audio-visual alarms and
warnings to increase technician safety. Within the series,
substation operators can choose from three different monitors with
varying levels of parameters including SF6 gas.
Installing in just hours; the Qualitrol QBCM series is faster
than other options available on the market and requires little to
no electrical or mechanical modifications.
