Intelligent Monitoring and Control of Disconnectors

​

GE's DWatch performs permanent real time monitoring of the operational parameters of disconnectors and records all operating curves locally.

​

The DWatch also controls the speed of the live part during opening and closing in a specific and programmable manner for all disconnector types. These profiles can be easily set by internal dip-switches. Such control helps in always having a constant operating time in different conditions of power supply and load.

​

Secured online communications easily integrate into customer IT architectures to deliver relevant data to maintenance managers, asset managers and network operators.

​

The DWatch mechanism provides an exhaustive real-time condition assessment of critical disconnectors with incipient failure detection features to reduce the chances of catastrophic equipment failure and preserve network performance.

​

DWatch records information coming from the sensors installed on the disconnector and analyzes it with standard models programmed into the system.
