| The Problem: Currently each CAP location is physically inspected yearly. This data is used to make work orders for repair crews. Inspections are time consuming and expensive, in addition after repairs are made the unit can fail or work improperly. When the banks fail, they are not saving money. They actually cost more money.
|
| The Solution: The Capacitor Monitor utilizes a current transformer between the CAP's and the system neutral to monitor the amps on the ground wire. The AMI meter is used to transmit the data back to the database to store a daily reading. Readings tell if the CAP bank is online and working properly or off line.
The Benefits: We believe there are significant benefits for the North America utility market · Cost reductions · Ability to use the AMI · Process improvement · Simplification and operational efficiency improvements · Distribution applications · Transmission applications
The Capacitor Monitor Is In Production
