The Breaker Performance Monitor sets the standard for circuit breaker monitoring solutions. It is highly comprehensive, and can be used to facilitate predictive maintenance, maintenance deferral, and condition-based maintenance activities. The system also provides enhanced environmental protection by minimizing the risk of SF6 gas leaks. The monitor scrutinizes a range of critical components, including the main contacts, motors, heaters, mechanism, and dielectric, recording important information about their performance during circuit breaker operation.
With the inclusion of Smart Capture, the BPM combines the most effective offline and online testing methods. The modular design is a highly customizable online monitoring package, resulting in a monitor capable of performing the advanced analytics required to detect operating deficiencies well in advance of breaker failure.
Smart Capture Technology
Complete diagnosis of the breakers’ mechanical and electrical systems with every operation. Smart Capture uses a waveform analysis for graphical comparison of breaker operations, providing a detailed analysis of first trip open and close times, identification of latch and bearing performance, lubrication issues, auxiliary contact condition and fault current values.
Gas Monitoring for SF6 and Dry Air
Multi-parameter sensors monitor density, temperature and humidity in insulating gases. Then alarms alert asset owners of leakage rates, trending of time till lock out and mass gas loss.
Charging Motor Starts, Currents and Runtimes
Provides data concerning the condition of the stored energy system allowing the Breaker Performance Monitor to detect failures before the apparatus is called to operate. Information such as this cannot be obtained from reactive logging devices such as microprocessor based protective relays.
Fleet Data Management
DynamicMetrix® Desktop is included with the purchase of the BPM. This program allows engineering access to your monitor to view data and perform diagnostics. Upgrade to DynamicMetrix® Fleet to pull data from all of your monitors: transformer, circuit breaker, or third party. This allows users to easily analyze data trends to make educated decisions about maintenance and risk management.
