Square DŽ Power-ZoneŽ Unit Substations Now Web-Enabled to Simplify Access to Power Transformer Data
PALATINE, Ill. - SEPTEMBER 20, 2005 - Equipped with an Ethernet interface and Web server, Square DŽ Power-ZoneŽ Unit Substations now provide simple, affordable access to power system information - including transformer coil temperatures - using a standard Web browser. The pre-engineered equipment ships in standard lead-times and connects to a customer's existing Ethernet Local Area Network, much like adding a PC or printer.
Power-Zone Unit Substations include a Model 98 Temperature Controller, which provides remote access to transformer data, in addition to its primary role in controlling cooling fans. With a simple click of a mouse, it is easy to monitor transformer coil temperatures per phase, and verify cooling fan status at a glance. Among the many potential benefits, these new capabilities make it possible to correlate circuit loading with transformer temperatures to extend equipment life.
The typical Square D Power-Zone unit substation incorporates HVL/cc(TM) Medium Voltage Metal-Enclosed Switchgear on the primary side, and Power-Zone 4 Low Voltage Switchgear or QED Low Voltage Switchboard on the secondary.
Schneider Electric was the first manufacturer in the world to embed an Ethernet interface and Web server into its power distribution equipment, allowing customers easier access to power system information. The Transparent ReadyŽ family of power distribution equipment includes medium and low voltage switchgear, unit substations, motor control centers, switchboards and panelboards.
