Our high accuracy, high precision current and voltage sensors are designed as a lightweight addition to our distribution recloser platforms and immediately deliver superior data so customers can monitor power quality. A fully integrated sensor solution means a smaller footprint, an easy one-supplier interface, less maintenance, and a reduced lifetime investment.
Power Quality and Monitoring
Precision Power Quality and Monitoring Is More Important Than Ever
G&W Electric’s high accuracy, high precision current and voltage sensors assess various electrical parameters to ensure power supplied meets stringent standards for reliability and efficiency. Power quality issues can present in various forms, including voltage sags, surges, harmonics, flicker, and interruptions, among others.
- G&W Electric’s sensors respond to rapid changes in current, including high-frequency harmonics, with minimal distortion.
- Remote monitoring allows utilities to identify and localize power quality issues effectively.
- The advanced data, time-domain, and frequency-domain analyses are used to extract useful insights and trends from the data.
By accurately measuring and analyzing power quality parameters with G&W Electric’s sensors, utilities can diagnose the root causes of issues and provide appropriate solutions to customers.
Sensors for Recloser Platforms
VIPER®-ST
G&W Electric’s Viper®-ST independent pole operated (IPO) recloser combines the time proven reliability of electronically controlled, vacuum fault interrupters with the maintenance-free benefits of a solid dielectric insulated device.
Sensors for Padmounted, Vault, and Subsurface Switchgear Platforms
Whether your distribution switchgear is intended for indoor or underground use, accurately monitoring power quality is both simple and cost-effective with our high-precision sensors. Whether these sensors are purchased with the switchgear or added as a retrofit, one thing is certain: better monitoring leads to better power quality.
SF6 Switchgear
Our line of gas insulated switchgear is available with load break and/or fault interrupters and is designed and tested to IEEE standards. It’s ideal for harsh environments where submersibility is required for operation on distribution systems rated up to 38kV, 900A continuous current and 40kA asymmetrical momentary current.
Trident® Solid Dielectric Switchgear
Our solid dielectric load break switchgear is designed to IEEE standards to provide maintenance-free enhanced switching capability, safe sequencing, and operation. Solid dielectric insulation makes the switchgear suitable for the most challenging environments.
Power Quality Packages
G&W Electric provides a diverse range of power quality packages, including standalone current and voltage sensor solutions for new distribution systems and upgrade kits for capacitor banks.
Standalone Power Quality Package
If you have lines and poles in place and are ready to implement a new, comprehensive power distribution package, now is the perfect time to incorporate G&W Electric’s current and voltage sensors to monitor and measure power quality.
Sensors for Third-Party Platforms
Even if you don't use G&W Electric equipment, such as reclosers or underground switchgear, our current and voltage sensors can still measure power quality with exceptional accuracy and precision across a wide range of systems.
Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Applications
G&W Electric’s current and voltage sensors are designed to be compatible with a wide range of OEMs' gas-insulated and air-insulated switchgear including SF6 free variants and other applications. Contact us for more information.
