Eaton’s GridAdvisor sensors is a family of products that is used to monitor utility grids of all voltages, currents, overhead, padmount and vault applications. Equipped with integrated communications capabilities, the solution provides for outage management, condition-based asset management, demand profiling, waveform capture and data storage. These sensors provide utilities with valuable insights from their field assets through real-time monitoring, historical performance tracking as well as reviewable event data via Proview NXG software or exported through COMTRADE, all enabling efficient operations, strategic maintenance planning, prevention of costly failures and reduced downtime.
Historical logging and retrieval of demand readings along with peak demand tracking supports load planning studies with actual field data.
Capture waveforms triggered by fault current events and store them in non-volatile memory for future review. Data is viewable in ProView NXG software and other analytics platforms when exported via COMTRADE format.
Monitor remaining contact life of recloser assets and drive condition-based maintenance. Based on IEEE-defined recloser duty cycle standards and specific nameplate ratings, these enhancements allow for maintenance planning and prevention of catastrophic failures.
As the world pushes for decarbonization, decentralization and digitalization of power, it brings new complexities to the utility industry. Adapting to the evolving power landscape means upgrading and modernizing your solutions so you can advance the energy transition towards a more sustainable, electrified world. With more than 100 years of electrical engineering experience, innovative digital solutions and expertise across generation, transmission and distribution, Eaton can help you get there.
