The Aclara Grid Monitoring solution offers a comprehensive solution for fault detection and monitoring on 35kV overhead line networks. By deploying Aclara Power Sensors, fault events including momentary, line disturbance, and permanent faults can be detected and reported. The system also collects load data, power flow direction, and provides waveform capture and analysis capabilities. The Sensors, which have a long lifespan and require no maintenance, automatically report faults through various communication channels. The Aclara Sensor Management System (SMS) software enables access to fault event data and facilitates integration with SCADA systems. This solution enhances network reliability by providing advanced notice of issues and expediting fault location identification, leading to faster resolution times.
