Arctic Control

Remote wireless control for Medium Voltage Assets!

• Arctic Control enables wireless control of medium-voltage assets such as disconnectors and switchgears. It enables SCADA to wirelessly monitor and control the field devices.
• Arctic Control retrofits on the legacy devices and enables remote monitoring and control by the Control Centre. High costs for having intelligent field devices can thus be avoided by using a central intelligence.
• Arctic Control makes the existing Medium Voltage network ready for your future Smart Grid requirements.

Arctic Control functionality :

Benefits :

• Remote monitoring and control of several switchgears or disconnectors.
• Battery charging and condition monitoring.
• Over current detection for switchgear motor protection.
• Compliant to IEC-104 SCADA communication protocols.
• High level of communication security.
• Reliable GPRS communications with automatic monitoring and recovery.

Deploying Arctic Control to Medium Voltage network enables:

• The improvement of the quality of Electrical Distribution as the length and amount of blackouts is reduced.
• Reduces the capital expendi-tures in the grid by avoiding replacement of legacy devices.
• Facilitation of preventive maintenance and thereby direct cost savings.
