Predictive circuit protection

Digital, networked automation products not only offer clear operational advantages, but can also support the implementation of preventative maintenance programmes. They provide important information that can be used to determine maintenance cycles and the replacement intervals of the products themselves, as well as those of larger system components.

Our white paper illustrates this potential through the example of digital circuit breakers: It describes how they can be easily used to increase system availability, by reliably predicting the remaining service life of system components. The white paper also shows how the data collected by circuit breakers can be used to predict the imminent failure of downstream components or entire parts of the system. This makes the white paper an interesting read for system planners who want to offer their customers added value, as well as for managers interested in optimising the procurement of spare parts.
